Trackpad two finger scrolling is UBER sensitive in both Vista and Win7

[Kev1000000]

So I had Vista installed on my Penryn MBP for awhile and I always had uber-sensitive two finger scrolling with it. I rarely used Vista on it so it didnt bother me that much. However, I just installed Windows 7, and I plan to do a lot of development on the Win7 side, but I still have the uber-sensitive scrolling.

Is there a fix for this?

I think this is just the way the laptop handles the two-finger scrolling in Windows. It does the same thing in XP. I'm assuming it's something about the driver Apple uses to allow two-finger scrolling to be used in Windows.

Yeah it has something to do with Apple's drivers. It's the same on my 2006 MBP.

I don't think there's much you can do about it but to just use the scroll bar, or a mouse.

Apple couldn't make a driver to save it's life. Don't worry, the trackpad thing pisses everyone off, as we're all dealing with the same thing.

You could use a mouse.

In the mouse preferences under Control Panel. Click the wheel tab and take the lines scrolled down to 1. I find this smoothes it out a little but it's still not perfect.

yeah, run a real OS. Disinfect your computer of all Microsoft crap and your MBP will work well again.

HTH

Or use OSX. drivers work fine on a good OS.

Good drivers work good when they're made properly, regardless of the OS. They also can work like crap on a good OS because they were made like crap.
