    I'm used to having all my drivers (and a lot of bloatware) installed in the factory of my computers, so my face as I'm scouring "Programs and Features" for things I want to uninstall is a mixture of confusion and relief, you'd be forgiven for thinking PC Specialist actually know their customers...

    PCSPECIALIST, PCSPECIALIST How to enable Edge Swipes on the Vortex IV Touchpad?

    Hi guys, I've had a quick look on the net, but have only found Synaptics answers to do with Synaptics pointing devices. From what I can tell the touchpad on the Vortex IV isn't a Synaptics device, so the drivers won't work. I want to enable to touchpad swipe gestures, such as swipe in from the...
