natural_orange Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I installed Windows 7 on my Acer Aspire One. The problem is that, it came with XP and all the drivers are for XP/Vista not windows 7. I installed the Synaptics TouchPad drivers that are for XP. The problem is that when I log in and the small utilites start up that make the extra touch pad features like scrolling and multi-touch. I get prompted everytime to allow them to run. Like you do in XP/Vista when you download a file from the internet. And no matter how many times I uncheck "Prompt me about this in the future" button I still get it. And even if I go to the files and try to uncheck the same option in the properties, it rechecks it the next time i look at it. Anyone to permanently remove that?

Zimmer Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 disable uac :( or reinstall the driver or head to google Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Use the fracking Vista drivers then, not the XP ones. Stuff made for XP isn't designed to deal with UAC, even if it is enough to get the hardware going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h3%5kr3w Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 yah, vako is right, you can get generic synaptic drivers all day for vista/7 from their site (hell it should work out the box with 7 anyways... why did you install the drivers? unless you want your multitouchness, in which your just going to have to go get the modded vista/7 drivers) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natural_orange Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 It's not a UAC issue, at least i don't think it is. Because you get a similar warning in XP when opening files that you downloaded from the internet. I tried installing the drivers from Synaptics website, but they are two generic and don't have the extra features that I really like. The XP Drivers install and run fine, I think its just an issue with how the installer installed the files, so that they appear to be downloaded and are questionable so Win7 prompts you about it.

SomethingToChatWith Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 File Properties -> Unblock on the general tab. You should be using Vista drivers. W7 is supposed to have full support for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
