hi,

I am about to install Windows 7 on my Acer Aspire 5920 but don't know if the touchpad drivers will work on Win7. I know that the touchpad will work but worried about the scroll down/up feature of the touchpad. Which you can only make work with Acer software, but they don't support Win7 right now! :(

Anyone please help!

solved.

The drivers for Vista worked perfect for 7.

Good to hear. :)

For future reference, if Windows 7 drivers are not yet available for certain hardware, then Vista drivers will work the vast majority of the time, as the driver models for Vista and 7 are very similar.

Hi, sorry to bump an old thread but didnt see the next to create a new one for the same problem. I updated from vista 64 bit ultimate to w7 64 bit ultimate and when I try to install the touch pad drivers for vista I get a message saying could not find OS specific setup program. Also when trying to install the empowering technology driver I get a message saying, unsupported operating system.

Has anyone come acvross a solution for these problems?

Thanks, Chris

Hi, I had the same problem and have just solved it myself. First uninstall the drivers from the synaptics website. Download the Vistax64 drivers from the acer website and extract them. Open the WinWDF folder, then x64, and double click on the setup file there. This worked for me and the media buttons work fine now.

Hope this helps, Jon

Download the touchpad drivers from the Acer website and install them, the vista drivers will work just fine, though I think they may have some windows 7 drivers up now

I have an Acer Aspire 5630 running Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bits. I was able to get my touchpad scroll function working (but not the functions on the right side of the keyboard, yet).

Failed attempts:
I downloaded the Vista touchpad driver from the Acer website tried the setup program in the main diectory and the one in the WinWDF folder but they failed with the following message.
--> Error: Could not find OS specific setup program.
Also tried to run them in Vista compatible mode but that didn't work either. Then tried the driver from Synamptics website and reboot, that installed but the scroll function on the touchpad still didn't work. I uninstalled the Synamptics driver and was ready to give up.

Successful attempt:
I tried the setup program in the WinNT5 folder of the Vista touchpad driver from the acer webside, it launched and installed successfully, I rebooted and now I can scroll with the touchpad!

ran this --> Touchpad_Synaptics_v9.0.3.0_Vistax86\WinNT5\x86\setup.exe
