Need driver for Synaptics touchpad -- Aspire 5532

JohnS1606

The touchpad works, but it only to move cursor and to use left/right buttons, like buttons on mouse..  Cannot sweep the touchpad "margins" to move quickly from one spot on document to another.

A message from system (?) says that there may be another device now using PS/2 port, and to reinstall touchpad driver, or words to that effect.

Synaptics web site says that their Synaptics touchhpad drivers are now located at the sites of the various PC/laptop manufacturers.  Wrong -- not found here at the Acer site.  Where is the driver??

Thanks

Thank you, Ally,

The last question:  does it have to be located in a particular folder on the PC, e.g. C:\Windows\System32\drivers\en-US?  Or where do you recommend locating it?
