I suppose there is no hardware fault. Please reinstall touchpad drivers from the following website and try going into Mouse settings and check if scroll bar is enabled. Install the one apppropriate to your hardware for eg if your touchpad is ALPS install ALPS driver.

COZ U DID INSTALL A DRIVE OR A NEW OPERATING SYSTEM WHICH IS NOT RECOMMENDED

Here are a couple of ideas from a Google Search:

Press the key to the left of the On/Off button. The key has a picture of a finger pressing the touchpad. So simple, so elegant, so little information out there about it.

Hello Egor,

This model has a touchpad lock. May you inadvertedly locked the touchpad.

Anyway, it's so easy to unlock it. Simply press the 'finger' button which is found on the left of the power button and that should make it work again.



Hope this helps you.

reinstall the mouse its your virtual scrolling getting auto disabled dunno why but some sites disable it ???? for me its utube i have to reinstall like once a week lol so reinstall then restart and voila

HI Diane,

Since you haven't provided the Windows Operating System version (XP/Vista/7 or other?), I'll have to provide the general scope of what you should try.

1. Go to the Control Panel and open up your Mouse section
2. Look through the different tabs until you find an option to either "Enable" your touchpad, or one that says the equivalent of "Disable Touchpad when external mouse or device is connected"

The idea is to accomplish your aim by working with the mouse settings provided for your system. Good luck and go easy on the "blue thumb". Please provide more specific information before a negative response.

Thanks

The 5532 has a button to the left of the power button that turns the touchpad on and off.

Most likely you need to install the driver for your touchpad. The default windows driver allows the touchpad to function but does not give it the extra features such as scrolling. If you go to Acers support site http://support.acer.com/ , you can download the driver for the touchpad. I looked on the site and did not see a 6903 model, did you mean 6930?
Once installed you can go to the control panel, mouse, and see the extra features.

Aspire D250.....

Hold down function key fn (lower left on keyboard) and tap F7 key once..
