If you are a Microsoft Visual Studio user (a developer like me) and have a problem with 8920G’s Touchpad Virtual Scrolling, then here is the solution.

Acer Aspire 8920G comes with Windows Vista preinstalled. By default it has User Account Control (UAC) enabled to make your computer secure. But since Microsoft Visual Studio users should run Microsoft Visual Studio in Administrator mode, it causes Touchpad Virtual Scrolling not working.

To solve this problem you must disable the Vista’s UAC. Here are the steps if you are not familiar.

1. Go to Start Menu – Control Panel – User Accounts

2. Click “Turn User Account Control on or off”

3. Uncheck the checkbox and then click the OK button.

It will then ask you to restart your computer. Just do it.

Now you can use the Touchpad Virtual Scrolling on Microsoft Visual Studio and throw away your mouse
