windows 8 support #123

I was unable to install this on windows 8 consumer preview. It was working 
great on my HP INVY 14 on windows 7. Please provide a fix soon, I need the 
two-finger tapping feature so bad.

I have found a fix for this, open Command Promt as Administrator, an run these 
two commands:
c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\syncom.dll
c:\windows\syswow64\regsvr32.exe c:\windows\system32\synctrl.dll

Upgraded HP DV7 with Windows 7 64bit to Windows 8 RTM, but Twofingerscroll is 
not working anymore. I registered the DLL's as described, but am now getting an 
error "...driver still doesn't report multiple fingers." Tried uninstalling 
Synaptics drivers, reboots etc. Going back to Windows 7 for the time being - no 
point in going backwards...

Did you upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8 or made a clean install?
I wonder whether this issue with multiple fingers just occurs after upgrading.

I tried reinstalling the driver after upgrading from Win 7, but still get the 
error that the "driver still doesn't report multiple fingers".

Exact same issue here, on clean install of Windows 8 RTM Pro x64. Was fine on 
Windows 7.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this fix. I was seriously considering going back to W7 if 
I lost two finger scroll. It's that useful.

Running the two commands fixed it for me. Wouldn't run after upgrading to 
Windows 8 Pro (64 bit)

Hi Sebastian, I think I am running 32 bit windows 8. I am a total amateur with 
computers but really want to restore 2 finger scrolling and also reduce the 
mouse pad sensitivity. I tried installing the synaptic drivers separately but 
this made no difference. Its just really strange that the options have just 
gone in windows 8!

Thanks in advance for your help

Daisy
