Thanks!

Downloading them and I'll keep them archived aswell. Just nice to have these older ones so I can revert to them later if needed.

This one still has all the select-able options?

10.0.7.3 is the one I got with the machine, and it has more options than 10.7.5.0, but the later one makes it possible to disable one finger tap while keeping two finger tap, so I want to try that one out.

Just installed the new drivers, but doesn't look like you can disable one finger tap and keep two finger tap, even thou it should be possible since they have different checkboxes.

So basically unless there are some other important fixes with these drivers, the older drivers actually have more settings and features.

I absolutely love this touchpad, after some tweaking in the settings it's great to work with.

Can you suggest some settings? What do you use? What version of the driver are you on? TIA.

What I'd really like to do is decrease the sensitivity, and turn off right clicking. If I can live without it on the hubby's MBP, I can cope on this laptop. Most of the time I try to left click and end up hitting the other "button".

EDIT: I can't find the updated driver. Has anyone in the UK managed to update it?

i recently sold my imac and decided to get an ultrabook, precisely the zenbook, but all around in every forum, people are moaning about the sentelic toucpad some zenbooks use and evry1 wanting the elan touchpad. Then i come here and evry1's moaning about the elan touchpad, wanting the synaptics one. I had a synaptics on my HP dv6 and my thinkpad but never liked it, and personally think the Elan is awesome. Lol.

But seriously, I went to BB, the ux31's sentelic touchpad wasnt bad, but wasnt good either, but the Series 7 elan touchpad was definitely worlds better. I love it, and hardly can see any reason to moan about it. But my Series 7 should arrive in a couple of days from Microsoft store, so lets c if i decide to join you guys in ing about it or not!! But I am sure am glad to be part of this community.

It's human nature to complain about what you have, and want what you don't have thinking it might be better, until you do aquire it.

well it works pretty gud 4 me..i have single tap, double tap right click, drag n drop, tapping disabled, 3 finger back n forward, 4 finger swipe, etc. everythg works fine. i am looking for reils touchpad app tho...

The trackpad is one of the best I have used. I still have the older firmware, the one that came with the laptop. The multi touch is superb, scrolling down pages is a treat and going back with the 3 finger swipe is soo convenient, you'll really appreciate it. And it is so large you have so much space to play with!

Hi everybody. I'm a new user here, owner of the SERIES 7 CHRONOS too.
Sorry in advance for my english. I may have found a workaround to ease the use of the ELAN smartpad.

I downloaded and installed the driver Touchpad_10.7.11.5.ZIP on the SAMSUNG website in NP700Z5A-S0AUS section:
http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.co..._10.7.11.5.ZIP

Then, in the X86 folder in the zip file, you willl find "ETDAniConf.exe"
If you run it, you will see that it is the "old config panel" that we had in the previous versions of the driver.

So, I just copied all the files from the X86 folder to C:\Program Files\Elantech (without replacing the files that already were in the elantech folder). And now, you can use ETDAniConf.exe to config your touchpad.

It is not perfect as, for example, the tap&drag option is only enabled if you check the edge scrolling in ETDAniConf.exe (weird), but at least, you can configure the sensitivity and the 3-finger middle-click.

I hope it will help.

Just recently purchased the Series 7. So far so good, but the only problem I have now is the trackpad. With the lastest driver, my trackpad has not working good as you guy stated. Not having issue with click or multi touch gestures, but I have problem while trying to move the cursor. At the default driver, the cursor is jumping when I trying to move around. However, with the new one, it kinds of been reducing, but I could not move around smoothly. When I move the cursor a distance, it would stop and not response. So is there any fix at all? I am not gonna use trackpad much, but sometime I will need it.
