If relevant, it's a HP Pavillion.

I use it to rotate objects etc in game-playing, and it's stopped working. I suspect the cat, who walks across the keyboard a lot. But I can't google how to fix it, because I don't know what it's called and I need to play CivRome . Thank you!

Is that the right link?

Link works OK on laptop, not on iPad - bizarre.

It's a vertical scroll zone! Huzzah! Now I just need to get it working.

Sounds like a scroll zone - it may have got turned off accidentally - sometimes they are controlled by one of the function keys - I think Fn+ print screen works on some laptops.

TheMonster · 25/08/2012 16:55

Oh right. I'm on an iPad.

Many thanks - google actually was my friend! Fixed it via Control Panel - bloody cat.
