I have a problem with my touchpad. I just have the windows driver (setting/bluetooth.../touchpad) but there is no ELAN tab in mouse properties. So I can't fine-tune the touchpad such as inertia adjustment, scroll zones. Does anyone have the same problem?
This package provides the driver that enables the Synaptics and ELAN TouchPads in supported computer models using a supported operating system. The driver enables general touchpad functionality (for example double-tap and scroll) and provides a user interface.
download elan mouse driver
it does not offer any inertia (momentum) or chiral scrolling adjustment...
Suffice to say that the most interesting functions of a quality touchpad are absent. I need the original driver from ELAN, there is no W11 version?
Once done, one is told to use the drivers provided by windows. certainly, they have the merit of existing but are not complete. And on the Microsoft side, we say to see with the manufacturer. And presto, the circle is complete.
This package provides the driver that enables the Elan Touchpad in supported notebook models that are running a supported operating system. The driver enables general touchpad functionality (for example double-tap and scroll) and provides a user interface.
I have a very bizarre problem.I have a laptop running Windows 10 pro, with an Elan Smart Pad. The problem is that it would disable itself in a seemingly random pattern. I got around it by navigating to the elan settings via keyboard, but that takes a lot of time and is very annoying. Today however, I discovered that the trigger disabling it was my laptop charger. When I unplugged it, the touchpad would become disabled and would become enabled again when I plug the laptop back in. Weird.
I emailed the laptop company with the serial number, and they replied with a link to a product page on the msi website with a computer that looked like mine. I never would have found it myself. Downloaded the driver and all seems to be working now. Guess I just had to ask.
When I add psmouse.proto=bare touchpad works but it's behaviour is disturbing and it is recognised as a PS/2 Mouse and nolonger ETPS/2 Elan(with xinput), and does not have any of the touch gestures functioning in this state. Also can not turn it off in Settings once registered as PS/2 Mouse. Tried a lot nothing works yet also purged synaptics.I Installed synaptics tried it out, did not work out then purged it.
If the driver listed is not the right version or operating system, search our driver archive for the correct version. Enter ELAN Touchpad into the search box above and then submit. In the results, choose the best match for your PC and operating system.
Once you have downloaded your new driver, you'll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.
If you could not find the exact driver for your hardware device or you aren't sure which driver is right one, we have a program that will detect your hardware specifications and identify the correct driver for your needs. Please click here to download.
Hello, good morning, I have searched for driver updates and it continues to fail, I have tried going back to the previous drivers and it continues to fail. I always update windows 11 and it keeps failing. I have also downloaded the 2 drivers from the Acer page for my notebook model and it keeps failing. I did a hard drive check and malware scan and it keeps failing. Any solution? Thanks
I wrote: "Reboot and Windows11 will reinstall the touchpad drivers". Don't install anything yourself. The reason I wrote to connect an USB mouse was to help you navigating after you delete the touchpad drivers as you will lose total control (not for fixing your touchpad issue).
July 2020.
After a huge amount of research and experimentation, here as a working Windows XP driver for Elan touchpads.
It was specifically produced for the touchpad of an Asus X102B(A) notebook, hardware ID ETD0108, but it may work also with later touchpad versions and on other machines.
The driver can be downloaded below.
The rest of the thread is from the past, and if anyone has the time and enthusiasm to wade through fifty pages, they can see how we got to the the final result!
Thanks, I will certainly checkout the touchpad driver.
If I can get the touchpad working properly with full settings available (at the moment it's just a generic P/S2 mouse) that will greatly influence my decision as to whether to abandon XP on this machine or not!
Cheers, Dave.
I used SDIO to find the touchpad drivers, there were a huge number of options from many PC manufacturers, a huge package to download, and while I didn't try all of them as it would have taken many hours, I didn't find a single one that actually worked properly of the ones I did try.
As for the graphics driver, I don't think the option to uninstall/reinstall it on every boot will work either, quite apart from the fact that it will horribly slow down the process!
I've done more experimenting, and if I disable the display adapter so I can boot into normal mode, and then enable it, it enables OK, but is still shown as being in 640x480 mode in the Display Properties. As soon as I change that it tries to change the resolution, and then BSODs.
I can't imagine that the same thing wouldn't happen if it was being installed on every boot.
Fundamentally, it's not communicating with the hardware properly, and even if it could be got to work as it should even the once, I suspect it would always be very unstable.
Thanks, I've tried so many touchpad drivers that I really don't know whether I've tried that particular one, but I will give it a go anyway!
I have tried directly editing the registry entries for the Elan software with other drivers, when the normal control panel is not working, but changing the settings never makes any difference.
I suspect it's a bit like the graphics problem, the drivers are just not communicating with the hardware properly.
If it's OK, and I realise this is off topic for this thread as it stands, I would like to concentrate on trying to get the touchpad working properly before going back to the graphics problems.
As I said earlier. if it proves impossible to find a driver that will allow me to change the touchpad settings, especially disabling "tap to click", there is probably no point in carrying on with XP on this machine anyway, as I really don't want to use it the way it is at the moment.
I tried that touchpad driver.
Setup doesn't work (not a valid win32 application) so I guess it isn't XP compatible.
Installing from the INF file does work, but the touchpad is then completely dead!
Device Manager now says it's an "Elan Input Device", but the driver isn't loaded.
The error is -
"Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39).
I guess that also means that the driver isn't compatible with XP.
You should look at both drivers' sys files in dependency walker and tell us which dependencies are missing. If there are (which is probably true) dependencies lacking, then it isn't compatible with XP.
It's version 7.0.6.4 and it does install despite the fact that when you look at the package contents it appears to be only for Windows Vista and Windows 7!
Some other drivers from that series, like 7.0.5.9 which I've tried, install as well, but the touchpad is then completely dead, despite no apparent errors in Device Manager.
With this driver, the touchpad still works, there are no errors in Device Manager, and there is a control panel, but it's only showing the copyright information and one setting (for the button functions) which doesn't actually seem to change anything.
There is also a tab added to the mouse properties window, which allows the device to be apparently disabled and enabled, but nothing actually changes.
Just a quick update.
I looked in the INF files for the driver, and ETD0108 was not listed there, so I added it and uninstalled and reinstalled.
No difference.
If I look at the tab added to the mouse Windows Control Panel applet, the Elan tab says it's a Standard PS/2 Mouse.
There is an option to disable it and enable it, which apparently works, but the "options" button, which presumably should bring up the settings control panel, is greyed out.
It's showing all the symptoms of not recognising what the touchpad actually is.
If it did recognise it correctly I'm guessing that it would show the appropriate options for it.
Device Manager now shows it as an "ELAN PS/2 Port Smart-Pad", but whether that's actually what the touchpad hardware is, I have no idea!
1) you have the described Registry structure
2) that what the (not working) options tab does is in a nutshell:
a. change some settings in the Registry path
b. make the driver re-read the (changed) settings
I actually downloaded with SDIO the whole touchpad package that said it was compatible with my machine, which was huge (several GB!)
When I unpacked it there was a huge number of drivers in there, from many different PC manufacturers.
All those drivers were in there presumably, and I tried all the likely looking ones with no success.
One possible issue, and I'm probably being very silly here, is that the machine is actually a 64 bit machine, although I'm running 32 bit OSes on it.
I'm just thinking, I've always assumed that a "64 bit machine" is that only because it has a 64 bit processor.
Am I right in that, or can other hardware be 64 bit as well?
If that is so, that would go a long way to explaining why both the 32 bit graphics drivers and touchpad drivers seem to be having a problem communicating with the hardware.
