I have just received my first laptop in which I use the synaptic
pointing device ( finger pad ) to navigate .
I want to " wipe " the drive on this machine and perform a clean
install using an XP Pro-SP2 disk which I had purchased to install this
OS on an old desktop PC which I no longer use.
When you "wipe " the drive on a desktop PC and use the XP Installation
Disk to clean install the OS , the mouse always works afterwards as ,
presumably , the necessary mouse drivers are included in the XP
Installation Disk.
Are the synaptic pad drivers also included in these disks if I use
this disk to clean install the OS onto a laptop , does anyone know ?
Should I need to separately install such drivers in this case ?
B.N.
