I have tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it like 4 or 5 times and going in and manually cleaning out the registry and even installing some other versions and reinstalling the new version over it and I even tried disabling the taskmanger icon and it still does it no matter what I do. The name of the window that says failed to load launcher dll is Apoint.exe.

maybe uninstall it, search the hard drive for apoint.exe (with vista there seems to be more then one location it finds files.) remove the touchpad from system devices and restart and let it reinstall the drive and all

I have to say, circular scrolling is pretty awsome.
But for the gestures for each corner thing, is there a way to assign hotkeys? I'd like to use ctrl+pgup or ctrl+pgdown to switch between tabs.

there is a firefox add-on that does that.

okay, so I turned on my computer this afternoon, and now I get the same error as the above posts. A little text box with the title "Apoint.exe" says:

"Failed to load lanucher dll"
And yes, "launcher" is misspelled as "lanucher"...

It worked fine for me after installing it... and now after restarting my computer it no longer works. I'm using Logitech setpoint also.

ok i got it to work but i can get it to work going forwards and backwards in firefox

TY! Dell driver works for me also (X11XRN)

It appears, that it also supports edge-motion (only on dragging and very low speed and no settings for that, but still better than nothing)

Same thing for me. It worked fine after installing it on my Sony SZ370P, but I got the same error message upon reboot.
