    Default Acer Aspire 5738z, Windows 7 and touchpad....help

    This laptop was bought with Vista. I installed Windows 7 32bit with all the latest updates. I'm having trouble with the Synaptics touchpad. The cursor is difficult to control, and virtual scroll doesn't always work. I can scroll down but can't always scrolls up. Double tapping the touchpad sometimes work and sometimes doesn't. Last the touchpad is too sensitive.

    I've tried Acer drivers for both Windows 7 and Vista, the Synaptics latest drivers, HP drivers, and Dell drives.

    The issue is the touchpad is not recognised as a touchpad and thus I can't access the advanced features to change the sensibility and other sittings.

    Have you tried the Acer Alps touchpad drivers? Also, any BIOS updates?

    Have any questions about MPC-HC or the Combined Community Codec Pack? (click for web chat)
    For video playback: xy-vsfilter & CCCP (use the bundled version of MPC-HC)

    I've upgrade the BIOS to the latest one last night. I've also tried the Alps driver from Acer and from Samsung I think. I got more option, but the touchpad is even harder to use. I checked the laptop hardware with SIW and the touchpad is made by Synaptics, hardware ID SYN1B22.
