I'm having problems with my Synaptics Touchpad on my laptop after engaging the Internet Connection through my router ...
After every few minutes, this message pops up:
"The advanced features of your touchpad have been disabled because the Synaptics Touchpad driver detected another pointing device plugged into your computer."
However, I don't have any other such device plugged in. The touchpad is the only one I use.
I notice that this message only happens when my Internet Connection is enabled through my router .... and only when the "NDIS driver" has an incoming connection to my laptop. I've only started getting this problem after setting up my network through the router ..
I checked up NDIS and I found out that it is some Networking driver that is used in WinXP ... what I'm wondering is why it should cause conflict with my Touchpad.
I have the lastest version of my Touchpad drivers .... running both Antivirus and a software firewall. My PC manufacturer has no information about this problem on their website.
Plz help ...
