Информация о программе
Описание
ELAN Touchpad Driver – драйвер, необходимый для работы тачпада на ноутбуках. Без него сенсорная панель будет работать некорректно или вовсе перестанет реагировать на нажатия. Программное обеспечение необходимо для ноутбуков, которые используют тачпад от производителя ELAN.
При инсталляции ELAN Touchpad Driver на компьютер также устанавливается программное обеспечение для настройки сенсорной панели. Благодаря утилите можно регулировать скорость перемещения курсора, чувствительность и другие параметры. Пользователь может настроить вертикальную или горизонтальную прокрутку. Это пригодится при просмотре страниц в текстовом документе или веб-браузере. Также можно программировать нажатия, свайпы и другие движения по тачпаду, применяя к ним определенную функцию.
Помимо настройки сенсорной панели программное обеспечение, устанавливаемое вместе с ELAN Touchpad Driver, позволяет управлять кнопками тачпада.
Функции и особенности драйвера ELAN Touchpad Driver 22.4.22.2:
- Драйвер для тачпада от одноименного производителя;
- Простая интуитивная установка;
- Бесплатное распространение;
- Возможность настраивать сенсор и кнопки, переназначая функции;
- Совместимость с Windows 7, 8 и 10;
Утилита Smart-Pad, входящая в состав драйвера, позволяет также настраивать мультитач — движения сразу нескольких пальцев по панели.

About TouchPad Drivers:
Windows operating systems automatically apply a generic driver that allows users to benefit from basic touch functions; however, advanced features will not be available until the proper files are installed.
When enabled by required software, the touchpad component is recognized by computers and all developed features are made accessible.
Even though touchpoint technology is mostly associated with notebooks or laptops, other systems can also benefit from it with the help of an external wireless or wired TouchPad device.
If you wish to update to this version, know that it can enhance overall performance and stability, add different fixes for various touch problems, improve existing gestures, or even include support for new ones.
As for the installation procedure, first make sure that all system characteristics are supported and only then save and install the downloadable package. Even if other OSes might be compatible as well, we do not recommend applying any software on platforms other than the specified ones.
With this in mind, follow all aforementioned steps and apply the present release. Should you choose not to update right now, check back with our website again to stay up to speed with latest releases.
It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.
Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.

Step 2 — Install Your Driver
Once you have downloaded your new driver, you’ll need to install it. In Windows, use a built-in utility called Device Manager, which allows you to see all of the devices recognized by your system, and the drivers associated with them.
How to Open Device Manager
In Windows 10 & Windows 8.1, right-click the Start menu and select Device Manager
In Windows 8, swipe up from the bottom, or right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose «All Apps» -> swipe or scroll right and choose «Control Panel» (under Windows System section) -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
In Windows 7, click Start -> Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Device Manager
In Windows Vista, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance -> Device Manager
In Windows XP, click Start -> Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> System -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager button
How to Install a driver from Device Manager
Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
Select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.
In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.
Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.
