Just downloaded the new Touchpad driver. How do I get my page back-swipe function back?

    As Star Forge mentioned, what model is your laptop? Also which touchpad? Did you download the one from Dell's website or use the stock Windows one? The stock Windows one you are not going to get any of the touchpad gestures, you need to download either your Alps/Synaptics specific driver/application to get back all the gestures.

    Sorry-didnt think any of that mattered...

    Ive got a E6400 running on Win 7.

    Dont I just have to change somehting in the registry that then "releases" the back swipe feature. Ive dont this at least 5 times before but havent done it in a while.

    I have the Dell Alps Touchpad version 7.1207

    There was an updated driver that was recently released.
