Alps touchpad

**magnethead** · 12-20-2008, 09:24 PM

Dell Latitude D610 POS

My dad's work computer

I've fought through all 3 iterations of tapping in the registry, tried to make Apoint.exe come up with a GUI (if it even has one), and scoured google endlessly

How do you turn off touchad typingn on an alps?

Hi Magnethead,
Is this a Vista or XP driver you are looking for?

Windcraps XP.

Try this Alps

or

I would try the Alps first as Synaptics drivers can be a pain to remove if they do not work. I know of some people using the Synaptics drivers on an Alps touchpad and have had no issues, but I have not done it myself so I can not confirm the results.

Synaptics driver:

Let me know. I can not gaurantee the results.
I have also know people to use other manufactures drivers and manually installed them.
with the ALPS drivers there a various versions. Some have a typing off function, but it depends on the version.
