I believe the reason you are having this issue has to do with how mouse drivers in Windows work.  If you are unaware, there can only be one mouse driver loaded at a time.

I used to try to directly integrate Synaptics drivers into my Sysprep'ed Ghost image for the school district I work at because of the laptops we have, but I found it tried to load the Synaptics drivers for everything, including desktop machines using Microsoft, Logitech, etc mice.  So I started digging through the INFs and found that the way Synaptics drivers work, they are assuming it is going to be a touchpad on a laptop in which case there is a strong possibility of someone adding another pointer device (i.e. mouse) to the computer via USB.  So how do you make it work if only one driver can be loaded at a time?  Make your driver include a catch-all.  The Synaptics drivers install for everything and has generic support for all USB mice added as well.

So people that are using this DP are getting Synaptics drivers loaded for their non-Synaptics touchpads and mice causing problems.  Although it provides generic support, it apparently only works on additional devices added, not on the primary.

So what was my solution for my school district?  I'm sort of embarassed to admit this, but to get the drivers to work the best without having to manually load the drivers on every machine, I just made a copy of the image file and included the Synaptics drivers to this image and called it my "laptop" image.  So I have about 1.5gb taken up on my server because of touchpad drivers.  Yeah, I'm sure I could just set up Ghost to install the drivers by copying the installer and running it with a switch to make it silent... and I probably should.  *sigh*  But it wasn't the first thing to come to mind.

I have taken the liberty of rolling back the non-working setpoint V4 driver to previous v3.10, now on server

-update-
Now everything works again smile

Just an update...  I tried using this on a Dell Inspiron 1100 laptop that has a Synaptics Touchpad, but it got detected as "Microsoft PS/2 Port Mouse (IntelliPoint)".

It's HWID is:

ACPI\PNP0F13\4&2A083901&0

Sadly, it was the sole reason I tried the DP.  Go figure.

hi,
it looks like this one was considered stable?
The sticky was not updated yet, and you are at.

(I'll prepare a txt for twig123, so he can update that sticky.)

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Jake/Jaak, do you have any interest in updating this driverpack?  If so, would you consider adding the Wacom TabletPC driver for XP?

Thanks in advance!
