Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Dell Inspiron 9400 2GHZ Core Dui 2 GB ram
2. Windows Vista

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

expected (hoped) that the program would work on my computer but it says my
touch pad does not support 2 finger scrolling, Although i have seen it work
for this laptop in linux as well as osx. Any ideas?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

1.0.1-1.0.3

Please provide any additional information below.

The support for multiple finger detection is normally disabled in Synaptics 
drivers
by default. In such case the Synaptics API reports the TouchPad as unable to 
detect
multiple fingers.

If TwoFingerScroll detects such situation, it tries to enable the support by 
setting
a registry value which is then read by the Synaptics driver upon system bootup. 
It
then displays a message that the support has been enabled and the system needs 
to be
restarted. However, there is a known bug in the current release that causes the
program to do nothing when "Yes" is clicked in the message dialog (it should 
restart
the system).

If the program is started again, without restarting the system, it will display 
a
message saying that the TouchPad does not support multiple fingers.

If this is indeed what happened in your case, please restart the system so that 
the
Synaptics driver is reloaded and the new registry setting is detected by it. 
Then
start TwoFingerScroll again. If it will insist that the TouchPad does not 
support
multiple fingers, you could try a different version of the driver. I've tested 
the
program on V10 and V11 series of the driver.

I have the same problem on an Inspiron 6400. I installed the V10 driver 
already, but 
no luck. But I didn't know, that there is a V11 driver, where can I download it?

I found a solution:
You need (a special?) V11 driver. These are only distributed by some pc 
manufacturers, e.g. Samsung. So go and grab your nice and working two finger 
driver:

The above solution worked for me too.
However, I could find no driver with the link and the site is in German.
I found this site:

I used v11.1.1.1, which is virus free.
dpinst.exe starts the driver installation and restart.
Run TwoFibger Scroll and restart.
