Many times you don’t have to worry about this. In most cases, the multi-finger scroll is already enabled, or gets enabled as soon as you install the touchpad driver on the laptop. In case, if the 2 finger scroll is not enabled in your computer, you must ensure the following points before proceeding:

■Check if the operating system that is installed on the laptop supports the multi-finger gestures.
■Check if the latest touchpad driver is installed on the computer.
■Make sure that the touchpad is clean from dust or moist.
