Touchpad drivers

Hi All,

I've upgraded to windows xp home from windows me
I have a compaq presario 1700 notebook and since upgrading
I'm noticing that while im writing an email it will just
send without my doing so or while I'm reading a web page
it will automatically click over to the next page or even
highlight text without my doing so. I have a feeling
that XP does not have the right touchpad drivers for my
compaq. I don't think they are available. Anyone having
this problem or got any suggestions?.

Thanks

Check the HP website (since they took over HP).

Peter,

Install the drivers for the touchpad. Windows XP recognizes the touchpad as
a standard mouse. The correct touchpad drivers are available at:

Compaq has a dedicated live chat support forum for your Presario
notebooks..Check out:

Best of luck,
