Bought a new Acer today, Aspire E5-571-503Y. I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how to change the touchpad settings. I've been used to using 1 finger to scroll on the right side of the touchpad, but on this Acer i have to use two fingers to scroll. I've tried to find out how to change it but i can't seem to find out how to do it. Anybody know how to do it? If it is possible that is, which I assume it is.

Go to Control panel/Mouse and your touchpad settings will be there.If it doesn't have Touchpad in the Hardware tab you don't have the Touchpad driver installed.

Couldnt find it, so i guess it isnt installed. I've tried to install a touchpad driver from Acer but it dosent seem to do anything. Maybe i've downloaded the wrong one. Anybody know which one my computer needs?

When i check the downloadable drivers on acer.com my computer is not on the list when you choose what computer you got. It only says E5-571, E5-571P, E5-571G and E5-571PG. My computer is E5-571-503Y, does that mean i have to choose the regular E5-571? I've already tried that, but maybe i did something wrong..

I've downloaded it, like iv'e done with other touchpad software but after thats done and i've installed it nothing happens. I think it was the wrong one, i've got Windows 8.1, that downloaded file says W7. But ive tried to download others with W8.1 but it still hasnt worked. Do i have to remove the old driver before i get the new one? Or is it something else that im not doing right... Very annoying i have to say, it feels like im doing the correct thing but somehow it dosent work. Maybe it just dosent work on this computer...

Have you tried both drivers for the two different vendors? Yes, it sometimes helps to uninstall the old drivers from Device Manager and Programs and Features.
