Double side by side finger swipe?

#1 Post by dogbarber » Thu Mar 20, 2014 11:14 pm

Sounds like a racy title...sorry. :D

On my Ideapad P500 running Windows 8.1, I have the ability to do that double finger side by side scroll thing on the trackpad which scrolls the page up or down.

I really like the feature but can't figure out if I can get it on the ol' T61 that is also running Windows 8.1

I can see how to the the scroll with one finger on the side of the trackpad, but the muscle memory in my fingers keeps going to do that double finger swipe.

Is it possible to get on the T61?

I have gotten this utility to work great on several older laptops. It is hit or miss, though, and I have not yet tried it for Win 8: http://code.google.com/p/two-finger-scr ... loads/list
