Gary,
Thanks. KLM "Gary Tait" wrote in message ... On Sun, 22 Jun 2003 07:46:29 GMT, "Kevin L. Mullin" wrote: Hi, I bought a Compaq Presario 3045US last week. The touchpad seems to lack a lot of the functionality of others I have used - virtual scrollbar on the side, the ability to "toss" the pointer to the other side of the screen, etc. Is it possible to just download a new driver or software to increase the features? I believe it is a Synaptec touchpad. Also, since I loaded all of my software on the machine, I seem to have lost the touchpad control panel. The device manager says "PS/2 device, but nothing about the touchpad. It even says PS/2 device when I am using the laptop without the external mouse - any suggestions? Thanks in advance, KLM Downlad the driver package from Synaptics. |

The functionality that you want is present in the drivers and setup
programs for the touchpad, which should be factory installed on the laptop. It sounds like you are just using a "mouse" driver, which will work but which will not provide the extra functions.

Thanks in advance, KLM If Microsoft Intellimouse v4 is installed, it removes the special features for Synaptics touchpad, although the basic PS2 functionality remains. Q |
