That HID pack can be a bit of a briar patch, neh?
Here's an oddball i found in a Satellite A70.
Installed along with the proper Synaptics TouchPad software (with the icon nicely disabled, thank you - how can i do that with ATi? ) mistakenly was Elan Microlelectronics's "ETDWare PS/2-x86 v11.6.4.001_WHQL. In addition, it added a new tab in "Control Panel\Mouse" which had all options greyed out.
PS/2 Keyboard - ACPI\PNP0303\4&102A0DBB&0
Logicool was listed as manufacturer, SynTP was the upper-filter's name, and i8042prt being the service name.
I was able to uninstall the utility via A&RProgs., yet had to "roll-back" the PS/2 Mouse driver from the unexpected plain-jane MS driver, to the previously installed Synaptics driver (v16.2). The Control Panel\Mouse extension was missing.
To add to that, there were 23 files dated Sept 5th 2007 from DP_HID\D\3\H\A\ installed in my Program Files folder, including an Alps utility. In another Satellite A70, i see an Alps TouchPad installed. I will check with Toshiba Support's Drivers page to see if both Alps & Synaptics are listed &/or included on support page.
Not a complaint, just observation. Wondering if other models may be effected as this one was on XP?
Also, wondering if SAD3 would better discriminate Sound drivers better than Setup/DPfinisher11.09.012?
