Synaptic Touchpad Drivers

Posted: 06-14-2006, 12:28 AM
After three attempts to "upgrade" my notebook and failed, I threw in the
towel and went for a clean install. So far almost everything works, but
Vista is very limited, reading these posts tells me there are virtually no
drivers out there and my old software will not load. I have a Synaptics
Touchpad and Visat sees it as an MS Mouse. It is REAL touchy and windows
scroll all over the place, even adjusting the mouse setting does not help. I
cannoy find a driver. This Beta is for casual Interest ONLY, not ready to do
any work on.

I find the last few MS Betas were far from ready for general use or even
expert use in the real world, i.e. IE Betas

If you install the synaptics driver now it will install. If it does not just
update the driver to generic ps2 mouse then run the synaptics driver install
...a note the touchpad may not work at all after you install the generic
driver but will after you install the synaptics driver.
