Assisstance Please (m15x)

I am the owner of an Alienware m15x laptop... I would like to state that I am not the greatest with the technical aspects of computers lol.

I am aware that with windows 7 64 bit ultimate(which I installed from vista) that multitouch (or at least 2 finger scrolling is available). However, I do not have this function on my laptop after the switch. I also can't seem to turn off my touchpad (the lights turn off, but it always works. Annoying while I game).

I attempted to download the drivers, but I'm not sure on which to download. Any assistance in rectifying these issues would be appreciated =D. Also, please keep in mind that I'm not very good at this, and will probably require a step by step lol.

 

try turn it back on then off again. after that it should stay off untill the next time you reboot. I had this problem when i uninstalled the dell touchpad driver.

 

I've turned it off multiple times since installing.... Not the issue =/... I belive the issue is driver based, I just don't know which ones to get or where to get them. I could be mistaken of course.

 

have u tried to google it? found something on howtodrivers.com, but didn't really look into it.

 

Are you using the synaptics driver from here?
If not - try it.

 

Already using a synpatics driver... When I download it, it says: There are no files to download, please go to Drivers and Downloads to select file(s). No idea where this is or what to do.

 

Any other suggestions? Btw, I'm not too sure on the nature of the bumping system and if I'm allowed to bump it =/. If not, correct me please lol.

 

i just have a quick question for you, i thought the win 7 multi touch only active for a laptop/pc that have multi touch enable, now does the m15x support multi touch?. and i have a similar problem with the touch pad like you but i have the new M15x. all i actually did was went on dell website and redownload the drivers for the touch pad or you can use the alien respawn disk and try to reinstall the driver,, but i found that the dell website driver seem to work great for me

 

your correct

 

Hi Havok,

Please have a look at my windows 7 m15x guide. The link is in my sig. It will help you to enable Fn+12.

 

Alright, thanks guys.
