TweakUI and my Synaptic Touchpad

Alec,
Thanks for getting back to me.
Before using TweakUI the "Mouse" link in my control panel brought up a
Synaptics touchpad options box. After installing TweakUI the "Mouse" link in
the control panel would respond with a message saying it could not find the
Synaptics driver. Also after installing TweakUI the only mouse options box I
could get to seemed to be a generic Windows driver box. Also - the touchpad
on my Dell laptop has an area in the horizontal and vertical edges that
function like wheels allowing for faster scrolling. These were disabled when
I installed TweakUI.
The bottom line is that I seemed to lose the Synaptics features of my
touchpad and they were replaced with generic Windows functions.
Thanks for your help.
- CJ

I've just had my Inspiron 6400 for a couple of weeks, I experienced the same thing. Found you on a search for the problem and hadn't realized that it was probably TweakUi that did it! Probably you are right. I have only gotten the Touchpad back with reinstalling the drivers but can't get that very useful Options box that allowed the vert/horiz scrolling and the 4 "hot spots" on the touchpad corners. Anyway, am still searching and hate to System Restore back that far, it may bring all that bloatware back!...... Will post here if I have any luck

Cheers

Zhenya
