    I don't use an external mouse with the notebook. Is it possible to program the trackpad?

    I'm gonna try using the old drivers but I'm cramped as it is on the touchpad. I hope losing the upper part of it won't be a killer.

    I actually followed the link you gave and now I am having trouble locating the drivers in order to run them. I know, I'm a nub.

    Edit: found it in program files but the app won't run.

    I tried it and I couldn't get it to work.

    Thanks for Firefox addon. I looked into it and decided on Firegestures. I highly recommend it. It's sort of the "lite" version of the one you linked to.

    True. I have had to point out on occasion that the solution to someone's problem could have been found with a quick Google search, which I performed for them.

    *shakes head disgustedly*

    :p
