Hi there :)

I'm writing this hoping you guys can help me get my trackpad/touchpad to work properly.

So the deal is for christmas I got an samsung SSD harddisk for my Acer Aspire E1-572, and instead of using their included CD with the file transfer software to transfer my files and OS to the new harddisk, i just installed windows 10 from a USB so I then had a fresh clean new version of windows 10. 

And it's here the problem begins because instead of getting my previous touchpad driver which was Synaptics touchpad v7.5 on ps/2 port, from when the PC was new and had Windows 8.1, i got some crappy driver which doesn't have the scroll function. Afterwards i've tried to install the newest Synaptics version 19.0.19.1, but it woulden't install..!!

I then succeeded in installing Synaptics Elan (sorry can't remember which version), then f*cked something up, so I had to reset the PC and it then installed Elan by it self.

Then when I try to remove this driver from programs it says it can't find the module, and I'm stuck having a trackpad which doesn't scroll - and it's driving me crazy..

Please say somebody can help me...
