    Hi everybody

    I just upgraded my M1730 with Windows 7 x64 but have some troubles with drivers.
    Thru this forum I did get to solve the card reader issue...Thanx for that, but I still have 1 problem.

    I cant seem to find touchpad drivers to install and I really would like them to.
    I love the part that the drivers sense when I plug in a mouse and then disables my touchpad.

    So how do it get this done?

    And another thing that bothers me...In vista I could run the resolution of 1920x1200 but in windows 7 I can only run 1600x1200 and it looks weird.
    Any help is much appreciated

    Thnx in advance
    :confused:

    1. For video: Get latest drivers from nVidia site itself.
    2. Get Latest Synaptics Touchpad Driver from Dell's site.

    In the Dell driver for the touch pad there is a selection for disabling it when an external mouse is connected. By default it is not selected.

    For the resolution, mine defaulted to 1920x1200 on driver install so you may need to re-install your driver.
