Hi everyone, I'm new here and this is my first ever post party:!) and I have a problem that I'm quite stuck with.
Yesterday I installed the 90 trial of Windows 8 Enterprise Evaluation edition on my Sony Vaio laptop (model: VPCEH2N1E). Since doing so the multitouch gestures on my touchpad, that had worked pefectly on my 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium, are no longer working. To be honest if I could just get two finger scrolling
back I could live with it! I've tried installing the latest 64 bit XP/Window 7 drivers from Synaptics, in desperation I've tried installing Windows 8 Synaptics drivers from HP and Lenovo and I even tried the 'two-finger-scroll' application from here two-finger-scroll - Two finger gestures for Synaptics TouchPads on Windows - Google Project Hosting and so far nothing has worked!
Here's a screen shot of what I get when I go to 'Device Settings' in 'Mouse Properties'. It seems to me that my touchpad is being recognised as a mouse and not a touchpad?
and here is when I click on settings:
As you can see, there's no option for multitouch gestures at all... What's going on here?
P.S. I saw on Synaptics website that there is the new Synaptics Gesture Suite 12.3 (Windows 8 | Synaptics) which has specific gestures for Windows 8 but I can't seem to find it anywhere to download. Does anyone know if and when or where this will be made available for download?
You honestly couldn't imagine just how much I'd appreciate it if anyone was able to help me with this!
Thanks in advance!
