Acer Aspire 1300

    I have an Acer Aspire 1300 Laptop. The motherboard died and was replaced and since then the touchpad has stopped working and I've been using a mouse. As the touchpad no longer works does this mean that the motherboard drivers need updating? If so, can anyone name a website that I can download the drivers from?

    Thanks!

    :D

    Full link to the touchpad driver:
    ftp://ftp.support.acer-euro.com/notebook/aspire_1300/driver/xp/mouse.zip

    Try em and see I killed my touch pad drivers by accident and reinstalled them and they were grand. I have an Acer as well.

    OK, I downloaded and tried to install the touchpad driver and nothing. It looks as though everything to do with the touchpad has gone as I did a search for it and nothing came up.

    Don't really know what to do next.
    :confused:

    Acer in the UK repaired it as it was still under warranty at the time. It's not now, though, so must find someone to take a look at it. It works fine apart from that.

    I was thinking a bit more about this. The touchpad can be disabled in the BIOS and froma key board shourcut (Fn+F7 on my Acer). You should check both those. Is the touch pad listed in the hadware list?

    Just tried Fn and F7 and nothing and the touchpad isn't listed in the hardware list. Looks like something drastic happened when the motherboard was replaced. :( Will get someone to take a look at it. Thanks for the advice! :)
