hellow,
When I installed Windows 7 RC on my DELL 1520, the Synaptics Touchpad was recognized as a PS/2 compatible mouse. I missed the scroll function of the touchpad driver. Since the Windows 7 is just came out, there is no dedicated driver for it.
what can i do?

thank you!

Welcome to the site dudi

Have you tried the vista drivers for your touch pad

Here is a link for Dell Inspiron 1520 and Vista-32bit touchpad

I'm also have the same problem like you before, then I uninstall the driver, clean it with CCleaner and reinstall with version.901.0, I've been upload it to my 4shared account cause my friend have the same problem too and he can't find the driver so i upload it for him, you can download it to at http://www.4shared.com/file/10889575...ting_9010.html
Hope it will solve your problem too.

Thanks for reporting the fix Ozel

I think this is the same driver (9.0.1.0) in case anyone is wary about the link:

thank you all for your help!
someone in another forum gave the answer. it's important to say that to install drivers vista on windows 7 you need first of all to disable driver signature before windows start.
this action solve thr problem for me.
thank you again and i am happy to be in this great forum!

I installed win 7 on a HP business notebook nx6125, and the synaptics drivers were found on doing a full windows update.

I tried the synaptics website, a few other synaptic touchpad downloads, and none of them worked. The synaptics file, an RAR archive, would not expand under win 7. The message was an "unrecognized format or broken file". I downloaded it several times. I tried Ian's CNET link and the error message was that it couldn't find an OS specific installer. I finally tried clifford's dell driver download and it worked. Version 10.x.x. Just a note to add some other experience to the mix.

Just for the record, I had the same issue on my Dell Inspiron 6400. I ended up resolving the issue by updating the Dell drivers via Device Manager (the old fashioned way).
