I have a Dell Inspiron 1121/11z and Dell hasn't updated their drivers since May. What are the alternatives to override the PS/2 Synaptic Touch pad to activate gestures until Dell, if they ever do, update the drivers (never buying Dell again buying a ASUS next time!). Is there a program? I tried Scribe and it doesn't work.
I have Windows 8 Pro fully activated.

download the synaptics driver from here, version 16.2.16.2 (N-C). I don't know what N-C means but I'm like you, using a 4 year old fujitsu laptop which definitely has no further support from Fujitsu. It works though. Swiping from left, top and right borders. Alternatively, you can check back to synaptics official website every now and then to get the latest drivers. I just checked though and the most recent one was optimized for windows 7. They should be coming out with something for windows 8 soon, hopefully.

I installed it and at first it said there was an error and I had to click yes to uninstall it. Uninstalled it. After running it again after the restart I got the same error (see picture below).
I ran it with administrator rights. Same thing. I guess I have to wait for the Windows 8 version or did I do something wrong? How do I enable gestures after running this?

hmm i didn't get any error. don't need to run it with admin rights. if u still get the same error, just uninstall it first then go to synaptics official website to download and install the universal drivers for windows 7. after that restart and try installing the 16.2.16.2 driver again.
Synpatics have uploaded there 16.2.21 Drivers for Windows 8 as well now.
Synaptics Drivers Page
Tested them and they work perfectly on my dying Netbook! No swipe from top feature but that maybe as the touchpad is too small
Thanks!

synaptics link is dead, can anyone mirror?
You can try this link (but it is quite slow...) :

Hey guys,
I have fixed the link and it nows directs you to Synpatics Driver page so the link will stay alive forever now
Also swipe from the top works on my netbook, its just as the netbook is so small, its quite difficult to do it as the spacebar is very close to the touchpad

You may need to download a driver for windows 7, the one included with the phone might not be right. Just google something like "cdma hero device driver windows 7"

Hey anyone else running the developer preview of windows 8 and finding that their touch screen PC no longer works? It works fine on the partition I am using for windows 7 but on the windows 8 partition the touch screen no longer works. Any ideas? It says the touch screen is a desperate device and missing a driver but in win 7 I don't have that...in win 7 its just the screen and its driver...I'd really like to take a spin on this with touch screen capability...otherwise I guess I'm reformatting the partition and wiping it off....
Google your touchscreen with the word drivers after it.

Device manager -> touch driver ->search for drivers ->pick a location on my pc -> type in the drive letter of your windows 7 partition.
This will then search your windows 7 install for the driver.

Go to your Windows 7 install and look in program files for the drivers software. Then install it from there or copy over the drivers from there.

I'm still on Windows XP haha, I meant to upgrade to Win 7 but never did since I can't afford to upgrade my motherboard/cpu/ram/etc. Windows 8 looks promising... but I don't really know how I feel about it looking/feeling like a mobile platform rather than a more 'traditional' desktop feel. Do they let you change it to look like traditional Windows or not?

I tried to install the sdk but it's complaining that it can't find java.exe or the java sdk even though it's installed and jave.exe is right where it says it can't find it. Did you run into anything like that?
EDIT: never mind. I was installing the 64 bit version. the sdk wants to see the 32 bit version.

Okay, I'm using windows 8 release preview x64 on my gateway desktop, and I need some help with a couple things.
First of all, metro apps will not load. I have tried several tweaks around xda and other sites and cannot get anything more than the app preview screen coming up for just a second, then closing. I have an ATI Radeon 5450HD graphics card, running proper amd catalyst drivers for windows 8, and all settings are correct.
Second, has anyone been able to get dfs tool working on windows 8? I've tried installing it in compatibility mode for windows XP, Vista, and 7, all with no luck.
Any help with either issue would be greatly appreciated... And sorry this isn't in a Q&A section, but I couldn't find Q&A forum for windows 8. TIA...

I have my Win 8 running in a VMware virtual machine. I noticed that Metro apps will timeout loading if it is taking too long.
The app eventually loads but does so minimized. Check your left side to see if it is running.
If you are seeing a lot of your apps doing this, you may need to upgrade your computer to something faster.

I understand that... But not a single one of the metro apps will start. They just bring up an app preview screen, then it drops to the background, and the app never actually opens.

I'd just reinstall. You have something wrong. Did it ever work? Maybe go back to a better point in time with System Restore.
You are logged in with a Live account, right? You can't load Metro apps with a local account (to my knowledge). You have to log on with a Live account.

Windows 8 didn't run properly on my laptop too, had some papercuts as well. The specification requirements for Windows 8 are equal to those of Windows 7. If you can run Windows 7, you can run Windows 8. So, it's all just a bit of patience before RTM and the final release become available.

Old thread, I know, but since I did not see it mentioned and I have looked myself, you might want to try TouchPal http://www.touchpal.com/en/index.html
Looks a lot like swype. The default keyboard has too many downsides for me, so I am hoping this one is better. Rather slow download though, so I havent tried yet.
