What did the crab do?
Hey all.
Some laptops (ie mine) come with some Synaptics software, which allows you to turn, for example, certain areas of your touchpad into virtual scrollbars or right/middle buttons, etc.
However, some laptops (ie my girlfriend's) don't come with that software. Admittedly it's a sony and I haven't looked into whether thye have their own similar software, but does anyone have any idea (becuase i'm too lazy to get up and try it myself just yet) as to whether I'd be able to simply install the synaptics software on her laptop and have it work as normal?
I'm pretty computer literate. I grew up around them, dad used to sell them, I work in a major consumer electronics store, so I'm at home with the drill of "don't do anything the manufacturer doesn't say you can"...
Technically the touchpads are just a ps2 mouse (on both lappies) so the theory would go it should be fine. Anyone had any experience?
