Aside from waiting for official drivers, does anybody know a way to turn off "tap-to-click?" I have an Acer Aspire One, and W8 runs great, but tap-to-click is a pain. I have installed official W7 drivers, and everything works great, except when I try to change tap-to-click in the mouse options I get an error.
"Windows Shell Common Dll has stopped working."
Any ideas?
On X-drivers you can find the driver release: elan 10.6.9.9 which is fully compatible. Or first hit in google when querying "elan 10.6.9.9"

Did this work for anyone? I've tried this and still have the same issue as the OP.
Make sure you have the proper driver active in device manager. Manually remove the ps2 embedded driver. It is working on both my laptops and a friends one.

Odd the only driver I have under my Mouse is "ELAN PS/2 Port Input Device", but still when I try and load the settings to enable two finger tap right clicking it get the command shell error - this is legit version of win 8 and the 10.6.9.9
Just checked something. On my aspire one , when I click the taskbar icon it goes directley to the touchpad config and no windows device dialog is opened. I will post some screens of my config later this evening.

Alright thank you! :good:
Also give us the exe/zip with your drivers please
I found a working touchpad driver for ElanTech touchpads. Just double click the system tray icon to go into the settings.
Go to the Asus support site and select a recent notebook like the S46CM with Windows 7 x64 (http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=3&s=435&m=S46CM&os=&hashedid=vxr7O9ZbnWI09JJm)

Although there are no multi-finger options to change :X, but its a step in the right direction ha!
If you'd like try these drivers http://www.station-drivers.com/page/elantech.htm - Seems someone else is having luck with these, but for me this shows absolutely no options for anything.

Like I already said, use the trayicon to open the config screen. Don't go through the drive settings.

Going through the trackpad icon just leads to the main mouse control panel, no matter if I left or right click on it. Tried with the driver you just posted, stock Asus drivers, and stock Samsung ELAN drivers. All do the same thing and crash with the "common dll has stopped working" error.
Anyone know if there are any new drivers that have been released? Since we are nearing the official launch - in just a few days.
( I had given up searching for a fully functional drivers and decided to wait until the actual release )

Hi all,
I have the HTC Shift and i really love the on screen keyboard and the possibility, to scroll the internet explorer with the finger like on pda phones with the opera mini, f.e.
Now I have a touchscreen on my HTPC and I am thinking, if it is possible, to do the same trick on this pc! Does somebody know, which software do I have to install?
Thanks a lot,
dabra
You need a version of Vista that comes with Tablet PC software add ons.
I don't know if there is a way to get this for Vista Premium. I would like to get it for my laptop as the on-screen keyboard of Tablet PC is superiour when it comes to multiple languages.
you can get the on screen keyboard in the following location of windows
%SystemRoot%\system32\osk.exe
Thanks, but I am searching for that one, I use on the HTC Shift. It is not the windows keyboard, that is too small and not so good. I don`t think, that it has to do with the windows version, cause now I have on the Shift Windows 7 Ultimate and if I am not wrong, it was to see on the screen after I installed all of the drivers form the HTC Homepage for the Shift. So I think, one of these software/driver ist it.
Anybody knows it more specific?

Vista Ultimate comes with all Tablet Functionality. And the installation should have recognized your touch screen and installed all the necessary drivers for it. Open your device manager and see what it says and fix the necessary drivers if it is giving a warning.
Thanks

and by the way, IE7 and above support the hand tool (grab and drag or scroll)
For me when i use the firefox , i have added on grab and scroll into it , i therefore can scroll up n down with my stylus anywhere besides the scroll bar
When I try to connect it shows the following error:
Cannot connect. Likely reasons are:
1. Specified computer name or ip does not exist
2. A network error occurred while establishing the connection
I have port forwarded remote desktop mobile and I have allowed remote access on my PC, I am using my non-local IP to connect, I am connected to wifi, I have added firewall exceptions and I am using a password.
I am running th 1.66 NLD stock rom and my PC is running windows vista home premium
I have searched already and found some similar threads, but none of those fixes work for me.

Hi everybody, I'm new to this HTC Shift forum. I've bought a short while ago one HTC Shift s/h, it works all right, but I am very unsatisfied with Vista, even after the F3 recovery it is so slooooowwww!
Therefore I would like to speed it up by installing Windows XP (for which I have the necessary license).
I did my good reading on this forum, but almost all the threads are 1 or 2 years old, some of the links are already dead, so I did not come to a firm conclusion on whether Win XP works completely OK on the HTC Shift. I've been reading about problems reported in connection with certain drivers, touch screen, wireless, Shift Control Center, SD and SDHC cards, switching resolution, WMP, etc which I don't know if have been sorted out or not.
So it would be great if somebody could confirm me if installing Win XP leads firmly to a positive result. Pointing to some updated links for the appropriate downloads would be the other great thing that I would appreciate.
Looking forward to your soonest answers!
Thank you so much!
I have installed Xp only on my Shift long time ago,everything is working faster and better.
Keep in mind you will not have Shift Control Center anymore but a directory with shortcuts to switch BT,WiFi,Reset Snapvue,Etc.
Also Gsensor is great with Screen Rotation.
Follow this link to install WinXp - contact me if you encounter some problems.

As Wireless Connection Managers for wifi and BT I know 3 tools that are doing the job in XP for specific brand notebooks: HP Wireless Assistant, Dell QuickSet and Asus Console Utility. I wonder if any would work on the XP Shift. I will let you know once XP installed and running, probably next week or so. About managing the 3G modem, I guess this will stay on "manual". I have no idea about how to bring up the Snap View hard-reset button.
On the other hand there were some links on this forum, all broken now, for DL an XP adapted Shift Control Center. Did that piece of sofware really exist and work fine or was it just a bluff?
Hi again everybody!
Just one question before I stat the xp install: performing the HDD Format operation during xp install would distroy the Vista recovery partition or not?
A quick answer would be appreciated and would help me a lot!
Thank you!
From what I remember Hdd format would not destroy Recovery partition as it is hidden and read only. You would need to unhide and make readable to change it.
Than about Shift Control Center for XP you will have the ability to:
Wifi Control
BT Control
SnapVue Reset
Snapvue EnterBootloader
Sound control
This is my improved version.
I was planning to make a Control Center GUI with C++ but always delayed who knows maybe one day I will find some free time will surely post.

About the Shift Control Center for XP, when you wrote "This is my improved version" did you mean that you actually have it and you can load it somewhere for public use or that you just listed the features of what you planned to be?
Anyway, if you still have the "traditional version" of the Shift Control Center for XP mentioned several times on this forum, I would much appreciate if you could attach it to your next post or sent it to me via PM.
Thank you and have a nice week-end!

xp htc shift x9500

Hi
I'm a Dreamspark Premium member so I can already upgrade to Windows 8 for free. I installed it earlier this week and I love it. My Asus X53Sv works fine on Windows 8 except for two things:
1. The function keys
They actually work. But it could be better. Windows 8 shows a nice little popup when you press the volume keys on a keyboard. It works when I connect my Logitech USB keyboard but the popup doesn't show up when I use the volume keys (with Fn) on my notebook. In the metro interface I don't see anything and in the desktop interface I see the same popup as in Windows 7. It would be nice if it just worked with the default Windows 8 interface and popup.
2. The touchpad
EDIT: found a working driver, not needed anymore
I found a working touchpad driver for ElanTech touchpads. Just double click the system tray icon to go into the settings.
Go to the Asus support site and select a recent notebook like the S46CM with Windows 7 x64 (http://support.asus.com/download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=3&s=435&m=S46CM&os=&hashedid=vxr7O9ZbnWI09JJm)

Ok, so I first tried the latest ElanTech driver. Still the same problem: the configuration utility crashes.
Then I tried the latest Synaptics driver: it doesn't really detect my touchpad so it doesn't let me configure it. It says there is a touchpad, but it's not a synaptics one.
Ok I have an ASUS N53SN and I have gotten the drivers working (charm bar swipe etc...)
But when I press a key on my keyboard I have this 1-2 seconds delay, which is hell'a annoying, and I figured out I need to remove
palm tracking for it to get fixed. But when I open my ELAN settings they look like this: http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/8780/elan.png
How do I fix that?
To get the volume OSD working in Windows 8, you have to install the Keyboard Filter driver and the ATK package from the ASUS website.
I downloaded the latest synaptics drivers 16.2.16.2 and a lot of things work right edge swipe, top edge swipe but not left edge swipe. Every version of synaptics I tried didn't work with left edge. Anyone know why?
The problem has been fixed by this guy "smjameel93" There a registry file that needs editing here is the download you just import this to your registry after removing .txt at the end of file.

You're very lucky to have Synaptics. My ALPS trackpad doesn't even have a Windows 8 driver now or later. I'm forced to install the Windows 7 ones. Anyways, what is the brand of your PC? I suggest you downloading Sony's drivers. http://www.sony-asia.com/support/download/520553/product/vpcsa36gg
You can install Synaptics drivers for other touchpads. I tried it on a different computer, it worked. But it has Windows 7.

tried them is said only works for sony viao computers.
My laptop is HP
I don't think the driver is out yet. I have an HP Probook 4530s with a Synaptics touchpad. Searching online I find a section on Synaptics website detailing the Windows 8 Gesture Suite but there are no download links or user reports anywhere. Therefore I think we just have to wait a little longer for the drivers to come out.
see http://www.synaptics.com/solutions/touch-solutions/sgs and http://blog.synaptics.com/?p=85
Hopefully it'll be along soon.
16.2.16.2 is exactly the one I had tried as well. There is nothing newer. You'll get right swipe and that's just about it until they release the new drivers.
I've also tried probably 10 different versions of drivers, including a beta Lenovo Win8 Synaptics ultranav driver. Didnt work.

16.2.16.2 seems to be the very last one. But actually the left edge works on my Envy14, however it doesn't on my Vaio VPC Z1. i suppose it's because the Envy has one of those big touchpad whereas the Z1 Touchpad is still the small one. Anyway even with 16.2.10 12 driver that came in august, the left swipe still works on the Envy

So left swipe not working is because of the touchpad area size?
The latest one available from the Synaptics site works. Left swipe, right swipe, top swipe, etc.

For me the latest drivers doesn't give me the ability to use the swipe left gesture. But top and right ones work perfectly.
I have a Dell Studio 1747. Do you have any idea if there is a way to make it work?

Some people are saying it has to do with the larger area touchpads --> newer laptops seems to have a bigger touchpad, perhaps the option is cut off because of the smaller pads?

Mine isn't big. It is around 10 cm wide. But I don't think it can be considered as small, so I don't understand. Maybe a solution or a workaround could be find.
