HOW TO: ALPS touchpad with circle scroll and back and forward in firefox

somekevinguy · 10-12-2008, 03:36 PM

OK I tried this and I get a popup that says failed to load launcher.dll. I was able to see the full features as long as I don't click OK on the popup but as soon as I do the tray icon for the touchpad goes away and I loose all my features. I tried removing and reinstalling the driver twice and editing the registry but it keeps happening.

It seems to be part of the easy launcher. when i right click on the touchpad in the task tray that is one of my options, mouse properties or easy launcher. do you have that? It is also one of the tabs under mouse properties. When I click on that it says easy launcher could not be loaded.

well I dont see any easy launcher either... are you using some external mouse settings software?

no and i never saw it before changing the registry. i just did a clean vista 64 install last week and the only other thing i have installed is the previous touchpad driver listed in the 64 bit drivers thread. I have looked it up online and easy launcher is part of alps software. it almost seems like using the stock alps GUI is trying to pull up the easy laucher but the dell version left out the easy launcher software. i don't know why i am getting it and you guys aren't.

maybe it is part of vista 64?

easy launcher is definitely part of the alps software. i have read about it online. like i said i bet the stock GUI is trying to pull it up but the dell version doesn't include it. i just can't figure out why it is not coming up for you guys.

the only place i see anything about easy launcher is in the other tab maybe disable it?

somekevinguy · 10-12-2008, 04:38 PM

yeah i was trying to look for a place to do that but i can't find it.
