? FOR EXPERTS: TOUCHPAD>VERTICAL SCROLLING gone

[gholjasa]

I have an HP Pavilion dv6000 (prod. # RV214UA#ABA) with Vista Home Premium (32 bit).  It has a Logitec wireless mouse with a transmitter chip in  USB.  The entire touchpad is normal except vertical scrolling.  When I slide finger down the scroll bar it simply moves the cursor down.  I can only scroll by using the screen's vertical scroll bar while holding down the left click button.  I have never done anything with the driver for the touchpad.  When I go to contro panel>mouse I get a message:  Unable to connect to Synaptics Pointing Device Driver.......Do you want to uninstall Synaptics driver?  Also, at this point on the control panel I cannot progress onward to a vertical scrolling setting option.  Additionally, the vertical scroll initially worked for several months after installing the wireless mouse.

Thanks very much for any help!

Uninstall the Synaptics driver, the re-install it using this package.
