Synaptics Touchpad settings dont "Stick".....

Hi Guys.

Ive noticed something (yes, ANOTHER thing) that is bugging the heck outta me. This time, its concerning the infamous trackpad....again.

Dont know if its just me but I wonder if anyone else has noticed this. If I change the settings for the trackpad, for example, I like a fast mouse cursor.....I click on the trackpad icon,go to device properties/pointer options and use the slider to make the mouse a little faster.

I click apply and then ok to close.

All is great, mouse moves around to my liking. However, when i shutdown or restart, all of the settings are reverted back to normal!!!

I have tried uninstalling the Synaptics driver and reinstalling, I have also tried the latest Driver directly from Synaptics and none of this has cured it.

I also use a TactX External mouse/keyboard....I prefer to have the trackpad enabled too at the same time as its the only way, afaik, to have it remain "lit up"....thinking logically here, the TactX stuff *shouldnt* mess with the trackpad 'cos its all Alienware stuff, right? (I know the drivers will be logitech)

Anyone have any suggestions as to a cure or anyone else experienced the same kinda thing?

Any thoughts welcomed.

 

I experienced the same problem with the mouse speed. I found an easy fix
go to the start menu and find "run", type in msconfig, then a little window should appear. go to the "start" tab and scroll down until you find logitech setpoint, disable it, and save and quit.
Hope it helps

 

Cheers. I shall give it a go!

 

OK....disabled Logitech SetPoint and its worked a treat. Restarted and my mouse cursor speed doesnt default back to default settings....remains fast as I like it!

Thanks very much for the help....much appreciated.

+rep for the friendly advice.

Cheers
Stevie.
