I may be going by a Best Buy store in awhile. That's who I bought it
froml. Maybe they know.

According to site

yours should have the same touchpad as mine. Did your laptop come with
Windows 7, or did you upgrade it from Vista? If an upgrade, then you
would need to install the Gateway Synaptics driver to see it in Mouse
settings. If you look here
I had Win 7 put on about 3 weeks ago. XP Pro 32bit (I think) was the
forerunner. I think I'm on Win 7 pro.

you'll
see there are no Windows 7 drivers for that laptop; you can install the
Vista one for your version, and then follow the instructions I posted.
The pretty much what I did with mine since there were no Windows 7
drivers for mine either.

Maybe I can put paper across it with scotch tape. :-)

I the driver link for XP Pro had a touchpad driver, but no messages
there from you. The drive shows x64.


Use the Vista 64-bit driver. This is the download link:

or the tiny.url link if that one doesn't show well:

The "preview" shows you where it's going so you can verify that really
IS where it's going :-)
I do not understand this. I went to preview.tnyurl.....

I did get the driver down, but have not applied it. Shouldn't I save
the old driver somehow?
