  1. Synaptics Precision Touchpad settings are not working


    Hey, all.

    I just got a new HP Laptop which came with a Synaptics touchpad. When I went into the touchpad settings to disable 'tap to click' and to switch the two finger scrolling to be "down motion scrolls down", I found that the touchpad settings were minimal and didn't offer any real customization options beyond sensitivity. Upon doing some research, I found various articles that said I could install the Synaptics Precision Touchpad driver to enable the full settings and customize my touchpad experience (see here for more info on the Precision Touchpad driver I installed).

    Upon installing the new driver, I now have access to the full touchpad customization settings. The issue is that none of them actually do anything. I have switched the two finger scroll to be "down motion scrolls down" but a down motion still scrolls up and an up motion still scrolls down.

    I have also turned off:


    -Tap with a single finger to single-click

    -Tap with two fingers to right-click

    -Tap twice and drag to multi-select

    -Press the lower right corner of the touchpad to right-click


    but none of those functions have turned off.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated as I am getting very frustrated. I really just want to adjust those two settings but nothing I do seems to work.

    :)

  3. Precision Touchpad Driver


    Hello

    I've just got a new Samsung Laptop, and it has a precision touchpad (from Synaptics) in it. I'm trying to find a way to disable the "Precision" bit of it, so I can use synaptics own drivers, which have more options (specifically, the palm control on it is awful, and the cursor jumps all over the screen when typing, and selects different input areas, etc. and I want to enable one finger scrolling, which isn't possible with Windows/precision). However, I'm really struggling to do this. I've downloaded the drivers from Synaptics site, but when I disable the device, install this driver (by manually selecting it using have disk), and restart, the touchpad doesn't work at all. If I install the driver by running setup, it appears to install fine, but makes no difference. If I let Windows choose the driver, it reverts back to the precision settings that I don't want!

    Been searching all day trying to find something, but no joy - any suggestions?

    Thanks

    Charlie

    If the laptop has Precision touchpad (HID Compliant mouse) and Synaptics touchpad installed, you can only use one of them, try disabling Precision touchpad or Synaptics TP, have a look here:How to Adjust Toshiba Laptop Touchpad Settings | Chron.com
