find the marked line

  • put the following line in there: *,*,VirtualBox.exe,*,*,*,WheelStd,0,9

the new line added

  • Now replace the original TP4table.dat (in C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP) with the modified one (you can backup the original before you replace it).

  • restart your computer.

  • The thing works.
