    I'm using windows 7 x64 and have version 7.1107.115.102 which is dated
    5-2-2010. I was wondering if anyone knows of a later version that might correct some problems that I am having with it being unresponsive sometimes. Thanks

    Just checked here and I'm using 7.102.101.219 dated 3-3-2009. It works fine for me. Though I have always noticed occasional unresponsiveness on the M1530 touchpad even when it was brand new and with different OS's and drivers. Personally I think the M1530 touchpad just plain sucks.

    Thanks for the response! I found out that on Toshiba's site you can get the later version 7.102.303.107 which works perfectly on the M1530. It also has more options to improve the touch pad.

    Let me know how you like that driver. Maybe I'll it a try.

    It's been working a lot better than any of the Dell drivers that I have tried.
