Windows Update Problem
Hi forum,
A situation has arisen that is causing a little concern and affecting PC stability.
An update option thus.... "Synaptic-Input-Synaptic PS/2 port touch pad" has
appeared in my updates. When I try to install it it refuses and shows up as an error 10 affecting the pad and pointer control. The pointer actually freezes and I can only free it by plugging in a usb mouse into my laptop.
At this time the device appeared in Device Manager with the yellow triangle attached. Trying to update the driver informs me that it is up to date.
To get my Laptop working without the attached mouse I did a system restore and all seems well now but the actual device has now disappeared from the Device list. The update still remains but I am loath to download it with all this trouble.
Going on Synaptics website proved fruitless. Any advice as to what might be happening and what could remedy the situation.
