First, if you have a new TouchPad, plug it in and reboot Windows 2000 /WinXP. Windows 2000 / WinXP will then detect your new TouchPad and install a standard mouse driver to handle it. You cannot install the Synaptics TouchPad driver until this process is complete and your TouchPad is functioning as a normal pointing device.
Log on to your system as "Administrator", or as another user with administrator privileges.
Run "Setup.exe". This program will automatically install the Synaptics TouchPad driver to handle all PS/2 and Serial pointing devices attached to your computer.
You will need to restart Windows after the installation is complete. If the driver has been installed correctly, after you have restarted Windows you should see the TouchPad Icon in your task bar next to the clock. Also, a dialog box entitled "Information about your TouchPad"
will pop up. You can prevent this dialog box from coming up in the future by checking the "Stop showing me this message" checkbox.
