How To Restore Synaptics Touchpad Drivers?
My Touchpad is not working and my laptop says that the drivers are corrupt. I have tried reinstalling the driver which I downloaded from the internet, but it still not working. In addition to this, any pointing device that I use, like an USB mouse is also not working. Having a look at device manager, I see a PS2 compatible mouse listed but with an exclamation mark. How can I fix this problem? Please respond soon as I am not able to use a mouse with my laptop. Thanks in advance.
