Dana,

What kind of laptop is it?

Is it a Dell or HP?

If so, they use Synaptics touchpads. You can download the software from www.synaptics.com at:

http://www.synaptics.com/support/drive.cfm

The Synaptics driver has better support than the OEM drivers that Dell or HP have.

If it's a ThinkPad, you may want to update the drivers from the Lenovo support site (the name escapes me now).

However, the Microsoft drivers for mice are really bad when used with touchpads. The Synaptics ones make your life much easier.

Thanks,

Mitch
