I am facing problem to work with my laptop's touchpad. It was working fine and smoothly till last week. These days, it really takes hard to move the cursor on the screen. I think the drivers may have affected. Can anybody help me providing the drivers for working laptop's touchpad ?
thank you...
The laptop's touchpad ia also called as Synaptics touchpad or Synaptics pointing device. These touch-sensitive pads senses the position of a person's finger on its surface to provide screen navigation, cursor movement, and a platform for interactive input.
So, it is very important to keep these touchpad devices uptodate.
