test the scroll button as follows:
open Internet Explorer
go to a website where you need to scroll down ;-)
click on some free space within that website
click the scroll button
the mouse pointer should now change

If I may: I don't like the scroll button. I've downloaded the latest
synaptics drivers and setup a scroll region within the tap area. That's far
more intuitive.
