Gestures not working on new 17.3" Vortex IV

[andbro]

Hi,

I bought this laptop a few weeks ago and so far have not been able to get touchpad gestures working. I've tried updating the "Synaptics SMBus" driver in device manager which I think is the drivrs but this hasn't done anything.

Also, I've been to the Synaptics website and downloaded the driver package (linked below) for Windows 8 but this wouldn't install properly.

Any help please?

Thanks,
Andrew

I emailed PC Specialist and they provided the following link, it now works great and there is loads of options for customising the touchpad, if anyone else is having the same problem - give this a go!:
