    I have just successfully swapped my 750 gb 5400 rpm hd, to a Momentus 500gb/sd, but now i lost all the functions to my mouse pad. I tried downloading all the drivers off samsung's website and still nothing. I tried running easy settings and, its saying that the computer's model or operating system is not supported by easy software manager. Please download and install directly from the samsung mobile website.

    Any ideas?
    Model NP700Z5B-W01UB
    i7 samsung 6gb ram :(

    I have found the solution. Go to Samsung site and pick a different model in the 7 series Download touch pad driver and it worked just fine for me.

    Samsung

    I hope this helps.
