So I'm on Windows 7 64bit, and being the novice user I am, blindly decided to install the driver you linked to. BAD IDEA!!! After the required reboot, my HP Pavilion dv4-2160us laptop will NOT scroll using the trackpad, there is no multitouch of any kind, I can't even open a link in a new tab by click both left and right buttons like I used to.
Anyways, like I said, I'm a novice user and I've never had to update drivers. Can anyone tell me how to undo this and where I can find the proper drivers.
Thanks, found the appropriate driver and installed it. Everything is fine now. Can't believe this crappy $800+ laptop can't support multitouch but my older vaio could!
@dtom2444 you had to uninstall the previous version. you're going to most likely uninstall both the previous version and the one you just installed, under add/remove programs, reboot, and then install the new one again

waaaaaaaa, SP47815 is 32-bit and I have Windows 7 64-bit...
any chance there is a 64-bit version around somewhere?
@GuyOnline I have 64 bit and it worked anyways...
@Sonicjet thanks btw! I can now scroll with 2 fingers :)
@GuyOnline I installed that driver from 7 X64,works like a charm.

@dtom2444 Same here, but I'm using a Dell Latitude D630. Perhaps I didn't have a Synaptics pad after all?!?
@dtom2444 I did research,you have an alps trackpad..sorry!
Here is your alps driver though...http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-79538-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=4063&product=4125875
