I also am having problems with the touchpad Back/forward tapping… I enabled the onscreen help in the mouse control panel and now when I touch the pad in the middle a little picture of a back and forward button appear under the cursor, I move my finger to select one, but nothing happens when I release… could this be a setting in IE?

Thanks

This is strange. With the default settings, all I need to do it tap the top of the touchpad, keep my finger on it and then slide to the left for back and to the right for forward. It works decently well.

Anyone found a solution for the “Back/forward-problem”???
My new TR1 has the same problem, as Mrs Gadget + bhosty told from.

no, I have given up and have gone back to using my browser buttons, or the ones on my mouse when i plug it in.

Mrs. Gadget…sorry this took a while to post…but I made a little video of me using the trackpad to scroll and use the forward/back features. This is with the default settings. I haven’t changed anything.

You can see it here . (2.8MB)

It’s Quicktime 5 so you’ll need that to view it.

In the video, you should see me first scrolling up and down with my finger on the right side. Then I move my finger to the top to show an example of forward and back browsing. If it’s too small, I can upload a “bigger” version.

The best way I can describe to have the most success with the scrolling features is to put your index finger on the edge with 3/4 of your finger on the actual edge of the trackpad. The other quarter of your finger should be on the case itself. Then use a gentle motion left/right or up/down. If your finger is too far inside the pad then it usually doesn’t scroll.

Once you get it down it becomes very easy to use and since you don’t have to apply barely any pressure it makes navigation easy.

Thanks for that, but I am afraid that I still can’t make my browser go back and forward. Scrolling is no problem, perhaps its a tr1mp problem?

I had no problem using web assistant but it was more of a pain than using backspace. Now I use MyIe2 with mouse jestures which is much better and has more functions

I was using the web-assistant on my old SR41K, and it worked fine. But with my new TR1 there is no way!

It is NO problem of KNOWING how to use it - it does´t WORKS! Sorry.

Has anyone ask Sony for a solution??

I have the TR1S which is the Thailand version of the TR1… and the ‘back’ feature doesn’t work.

(does anyone know what differences there are between the TR1S and other TR1’s other than the Thai keyboard?)  (I’m English, just working in Bangkok for a bit so picked the machine up here… sadly some of the installed software will only display Thai alphabet even thought I’ve set the localization to English UK)

Problem solved! - the new driver (downloaded from sony) was the rescue!
