Synaptic Mouse Manager for Compaq Notebook

I've got a modified compaq notebook and am having trouble with the touchpad
software. I tried it off windows update and from compaq themselves. Vista
versions of the driver and they fail to install correctly and dont boot up
right with laptop. Starts up and instantly says program has stopped working.
I tried reinstalling about 4 times and it is making me angry. Any help is
greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Have you told Compaq about this and asked them when they're going to fix it
with updated drivers?

Is Compaq supporting Vista on your particular laptop? If they aren't, you
may be in for difficulties with drivers.

I realize this doesn't help your particular problem, but within a week of
Vista release, Dell had updated Synaptic drivers available for download that
worked perfectly - I have a new Inspiron. Did you ask Compaq?

Yes I called compaq and yes they support my laptop. They said the Vista
drivers for my notebook can be found on site or through windows update. I
tried both... oh how im hating compaq. I dont really need the drivers just
want to adjust size of scroll part on my touchpad.... =(
