Any get the touchpad working under Windows 7? No luck here. It appears to install the driver (the driver folder even appears to include the 7 drivers), but nothing shows up in the folder it says it's installing to. |

Thats weird. It detected and installed it automatically on mine. The ELAN drivers direct from dell also didn't work? RTM x86 here. |

That might be my problem -- I installed 64-bit RTM. |

Define "works fine" -- does multitouch work? How does it appear in the device manager? As a generic PS/2 mouse or does it see it as a trackpad? |

yes its set up as a generic track pad, I thougt you were stating that your pad didnt work at all, I havent tried to intall the multi-touch feature in win 7, I wasnt a big fan of it in Vista, and after 15 min of playing with vista I formated the drive and installed win 7, seems to work just fine as a generic..... ....IMO I would rather have the mini 12 track pad than this one, it took me a few hours to get used to the 11z track pad |

Before I installed the ELAN drivers from dell, the generic driver supported only 2 finger scroll. I needed the utility to get the rest like 2finger tap for right click, zoom and 3 finger tap gestures. |

I'm going to reinstall this weekend using 32-bit Win 7, my guess is that's the problem. |

Was that your problem? I want to install 64-bit but if it doesn't work then I'm gonna do 32-bit. |
