Hello,

I've had this problem for about a day now. Whenever I try to play a game, it is nearly impossible to do so. I try to move with WASD and move my mouse around, but it won't work. I've tried various things said on the web, but none seem to work. Most of the solutions are for synaptics touchpads, which I have no idea what they are, but I know that I have an ELAN one. Help would be greatly appreciated.

I just had this problem after doing a clean install of windows 7. I downloaded a different driver, and installed it. Did the job, however I'm not on that system at the moment to tell you which one worked. I suggest trying an older one, if you go into device manager and right click on the touchpad, click properties and look at the driver version. Depending on which one it is (I believe you may have the latest one) try find an older driver and install it. Should work, if it doesn't, I'll happily post back here with the driver version that worked for me when I'm home and able to get on my own system.

Update: Sorry for the double post, but I've just been able to sit down on my own laptop. This is the driver you need: http://www.techspot.com/drivers/driver/file/information/14513/ - just download and install, restart your system and you should be all set to go :) Driver: ElanTech Touchpad 8.0.7.0 - Hope I've helped.
