Dear Windows 8 Forums representatives, I need your help because I don't like the two finger scrolling on Windows 8 for Asus. It works decent but I still prefer the old fashions one finger scrolling it seems to be more fluid when scrolling through pages. For me it still feels unnatural to use...

Hi guys. I'm a bit stumped by this at the moment. I've replaced a broken screen on a Sony laptop (model SVE151D11M), and it looks as if the mousepad may have stopped working after the laptop otherwise boots normally. In Safe mode, however, the mousepad works fine. The screen works perfectly in...
