Trackpoint 3rd-button Scroll in Terminal Server Window

[Andy]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to configure the Synaptics configuration files to enable my middle mouse button scrollwheel in Terminal Server windows?

Thanks,

Andy

Hi,

Please try the following:

Open folder C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP
backup file TP4table.dat
Open TP4table.dat with notepad
Under the Pass 0 section add the following:

; Remote Desktop Connection
*,*,mstsc.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9

Terminate the following processes: SynTPEnh.exe, SynTPLpr.exe and restart SynTPEnh.exe (or reboot).

I had the same problem and the above resolved the situation, hopefully it will do the same for you.

Many thanks, that took care of it. I wish I'd known the trick of ending the two SynTP*.exe processes and restarting SynTPEnh.exe to reload the driver back when I used to have frequent problems with this driver dying when waking the computer from standby. That hardly ever happens now -- driver fixes, apparently -- but I've saved your information for future reference.

One thing I learned quite a while ago: whenever I change TP4table.dat, I make a copy of the changed version as soon as I'm satisfied that it works. Updates will overwrite this file from time to time, losing your changes to it.

The only thing I can add to your instructions is that, if you're running Vista and edit TP4table.dat with Notepad, you'll have to save the updated file to a different location and then move it to its original location. Notepad in Vista refuses to write to protected locations.

One more annoyance gone....

Thanks again,

Andy

works great for mstsc...

anyone found a trick for vmware.exe?

I tried doing the same thing in tp4table.dat:

*,*,vmware.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9

but scrolling still doesn't work in vmware workstation.
