I'm almost positive someone else had this problem in this thread, but for the life of me I can't find it now. I installed the x64 version from Microsoft's website last night on my crummy Dell Inspiron 1525 (I was surprised it checked out okay for x64, honestly), and it is so much faster then the 32 bit Vista was, however now the touch pad no longer scrolls and I cannot find a driver that doesn't freak out and say it can't run on this operating system. Also, the buttons on the laptop for volume up/down don't work, but the one for mute does.

Anyone know of a driver for the touchpad that might work? Or a setting I just can't seem to locate?

You most likely need the Vista 64 drivers for synaptics:

Unfortunately that driver seems to think the touchpad is a mouse. Oh well, thanks for posting it, it was worth a try.

How is your touchpad detected by Win 7? Does it show up as a touchpad or a mouse?

Much like Kameleon said, Win 7 just thinks it is a ps/2 mouse. Hopefully closer to the actual release someone will provide a working driver.

At lease the computer actually shuts down when I tell it to now, with Vista it just hung around pretending to shut down for several minutes.
