Synaptic Mouse Manager for Compaq Notebook
I've got a modified compaq notebook and am having trouble with the touchpad
software. I tried it off windows update and from compaq themselves. Vista versions of the driver and they fail to install correctly and dont boot up right with laptop. Starts up and instantly says program has stopped working. I tried reinstalling about 4 times and it is making me angry. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks! |

Is Compaq supporting Vista on your particular laptop? If they aren't, you
may be in for difficulties with drivers. -- Regards, Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Shell/User (For email, remove the obvious from my address) Quote from George Ankner: If you knew as much as you think you know, You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

I realize this doesn't help your particular problem, but within a week of Vista release, Dell had updated Synaptic drivers available for download that worked perfectly - I have a new Inspiron. Did you ask Compaq? |

Yes I called compaq and yes they support my laptop. They said the Vista
drivers for my notebook can be found on site or through windows update. I tried both... oh how im hating compaq. I dont really need the drivers just want to adjust size of scroll part on my touchpad.... =( "johnm" wrote: "Misfitpierce" wrote in message ...
