persson121 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hi!I have a Dell Latitude CPi D300XT who have a touchpad. I have installed the latest driver from Synaptics for Windows 98 SE. It's called Synaptics Touchpad for Windows 98/ME v8.1.2. But when i have installed the touchpad Win98 cannot find the touchpad.I have tried to press "Add new hardware" but i cannot find any touchpad there.The problem is that i think i have not installed hardware drivers for the touchpad, only configurations drivers for the touchpad.Have i?

jaclaz Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 From the readme.txt:Installation procedure-------------------------------------------------------First, if you have a new Pointing Device, plug it in and reboot Windows 98/ME.Windows 98/ME will then detect your new Pointing Device andinstall a standard mouse driver to handle it. You cannot install theSynaptics Pointing Device driver until this process is complete and yourPointing Device is functioning as a normal pointing device.Is this what you did/experienced?jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 SO it is this one?I: Bus=0011 Vendor=0002 Product=0005 Version=0000N: Name="ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse"P: Phys=isa0060/serio1/input0S: Sysfs=/devices/platform/i8042/serio1/input/input6U: Uniq=H: Handlers=mouse0 event6B: PROP=0B: EV=7B: KEY=70000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0B: REL=103(but what Linux can "see", not necessarily is the same as what Windows 9x can)What do you have in Device Manager?Do you have a "Mouse" item?Or you have a yellow question mark?Post a screenshot.Like:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc768194.aspxjaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persson121 Posted March 14, 2014 Author Share Posted March 14, 2014 It's no question mark in the device manager. So my touchpad is brokend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted March 14, 2014 Share Posted March 14, 2014 It's no question mark in the device manager. So my touchpad is brokend?No, not necessarily.Let's start again.Is your touchpad working right now?Does it appear in device manager as "Mouse"?Or as something else?Checking it's properties, WHICH dirver is it using?Or it is missing in device manager listing?You see, my ESP capabilities are at the lowest level, and my crystal ball is in the shop (again ) for tuning, thus I have no way to understand what hapens on your PC unless you DETAIL and DESCRIBE it.I use a common convention where I use a question mark (the little "hook" sign) to distinguish questions from statements, I would expect an EXACT answer to each of the question I ask, remember that I am asking these questions in order to try and help you.Read:http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/FGA/problem-report-standard-litany.htmland please comply with it.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
