How do I get the flicks pen and touch functionality back?

colrod

I have a 5820T Timeline X laptop running Win 7 Ultimate. I recently had an issue with software refusing to install so I tried a clean boot. The software has now installed, but the touchpad on the laptop now only moves the pointer rather than being able to scroll the screen as before. I did have this issue before - any time System Mechanic would clean up the registry. That was solved by stopping it doing so and rolling it back. There is obviously a registry setting which controls this. Going into Pen and Touch from the control panel, everything appears to be set correctly. Attempting the training from within Pen and Touch doesn't work. I really miss this functionality, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance

When you open Mouse in Control Panel, the far right tab should say Synaptics and clicking that should give you opions  for settings.
