Hi,
I work for a company that sells laptops made in the far east which has a touch pad from a company called Constance ( www.constance.com.tw). The touch pad does not come with a touch pad driver as it uses the standard mouse port so is therefore very sloppy in it's movements as it is a resistive touchpad that is able to be used with a glove and can carry on working in water.
I have seen a program created by Lannyboy on this forum but that is designed specifically for the Panasonic Touchbook which is what our unit is based on and as soon as i tried to install it it said that i was not using a touchbook.

Does anybody know of a program or the sourcecode that i can use that is not tied to a specific make or model of touch pad?

The last time I checked I thought the 2 major touchpad drivers were Alps and Synaptics.

Go into device manager, right click on the touchpad, go over to details tab and go under Hardware ID's

You should have like: PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_05E2&SUBSYS

Copy the 4 numbers/letters after VEN and DEV and go onto pcidatabase or google and try to find the right driver.
