Recently I had a problem with my work laptop running Vista. I have a Dell with a Synaptics Pointing Device for a touchpad. For a while, I could not scroll using the touchpad gestures when working within Visual Studio. That really sucked. Scrolling is a must-have when coding.
I had googled it before, but to no avail. I tried again today and found a winner post.
Turns out, disabling UAC (which is annoying enough that I really don’t miss it) fixes the problem.
Thanks Acer Guy!
