Mouse Pad on Laptop Adjustment

[TimH1955]

I have a Gateway M-6823 and prior to installing Windows 7 my mouse pad worked great. Since I installed Windows 7 (32 bit) my mouse pad has gone crazy! I can only control the mouse by using the lower left corner of the pad. I went into the settings in the control panel but I don't see a place to calibrate the pad. Anyone have any ideas?

You probably need to update the drivers and/or firmware for your mousepad.

These are Vista drivers but should work in 7, if they don't, just install the drivers in Vista Compatibility mode. Compatibility mode is enabled by right clicking on the installer file, clicking properties, clicking the view tab and then selecting the check box and the applicable operating system (Windows Vista) from the drop down.

i.e.
Right Click D-20023-002-001.exe > Properties > View Tab > Check Box, Select Operating System in Drop Down.

Windows Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) Synaptics Touchpad DriverVersion: 9.1.3.0

All drivers for your system:

I have similar problem too. After I installing win 7 ultimate x64, the mouse pad has gone crazy. I noticed the mouse pad property is not present for alter the setting. Any help is highly appreciated.
