Does not work with Windows 8 #133

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Windows 8 and official Synaptics drivers
2. Download and run TwoFingerScroll

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

TwoFingerScroll should work. Instead, I get an error message:

---------------------------
TwoFingerScroll
---------------------------
Class not registered, ClassID: {9C042297-D1CD-4F0D-B1AB-9F48AD6A6DFF}.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
TwoFingerScroll 1.0.6
Windows 8 (RTM)
Dell XPS 14 (2010 model)
Synaptics Touchpad V7.4 

Please provide any additional information below.

TwoFingerScroll worked fine in Windows 7 on the same laptop, and on the Windows 
8 Developer Preview and Consumer Preview. It did not work on the Release 
Preview, giving the same error message.

Same here. Windows 8 Release Preview Build 8400 on Acer Timeline 4830TG.

On some other sites it is suggested going into command promt as administrator 
and entering the following works.
c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\syncom.dll
c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\synctrl.dll

When I do that I get an error message of module failing to load:

"if this won't help, run this on 64bit machines to register the drivers. It 
made the trick for me:

c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\syncom.dll
c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\synctrl.dll
"

1. In windows 8 first download and install + reboot: synaptics_15.0.24.0
2. Run two commands in CMD as administrator:
c:\windows\System32\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\syncom.dll
c:\windows\System32\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\synctrl.dll
3. Download and start: TwoFingerScroll_1_0_9-MacHater-Mod
4. Enjoy!

...or try out the SynGestures.exe 
(http://syngestures.klickin-webdesign.de/).Reacts too slowly..

So it is a driver + win8 dll problem. Use driver synaptics_15.0.24.0 and the 
command above.
