How to install HP Mini TouchPad drivers

If anyone has recently purchased an HP Mini Netbook they might notice one thing not working after a fresh install of Windows 7. The touchpad scrolling doesn’t seem to work after fresh install of Windows 7 x32. Read below to find out what you need to get it working. The nice thing is, Windows Updates should pick up everything else automatically.

HP Mini Netbook

Step #1

First thing you will need to do is download the Synaptics Touchpad Driver from their website. Download them here.

Step #2

If this is a netbook, most likely you are running 32-bit of Windows 7 and so you will need to click on “Windows Vista 32-bit Edition v10.1.8″ while on Synaptics’ website.

Step #3

Once you download it, simply double click on it to run it and then you will have to restart your computer.

Step #4

No configuration is necessary. Once you have restarted, you will once again have your touchpad scrolling back.
