i bought a Maingear alt-15, and it bragged about how good its touchpad is.. turns out when i got it the drivers were not installed for the touchpad and i couldnt use any function other than point and click.
I put in the driver disk thinking that if i install that stuff it will simply work. Nope.
whenever i try to mess with any settings it says "Sorry... xxx requires a synaptics touchpad and the synaptics pointing device driver."
http://www.notebookforums.com/t/2369...st-impressions has a similar error but his hotfix didnt work.
I uninstall that driver, restart my laptop then go to the synaptics website for their latest official driver, and i still get the same error.
When i go to control panel and view it in my hardware, it recognizes as a synaptics touchpad before any type of driver comes around. anyone have advice before i can get hold of their customer support? this problem along with many others through this service as a whole i've received is really making me want to get as much of a refund as i can and just wash my hands of this company; but i do want to try to get this working before i go that route.
edit: oh yeah, in the mobility center for it i can't do ANY changes to the brightness of the screen or through the function keys.
Spoiler: show
