How to change the settings of Windows 8 trackpad
I have an Asus S400C with Windows 8 is installed and pain with my trackpad.
I'm used to be able to scroll with two fingers on the trackpad, but this function seems to have completely abandoned.
When I got my phone a few months ago, that this would work sporadically, but now nothing. I tried to hunt around in settings, etc. to see if it needs to be enabled/disabled, however I can not even find the trackpad settings! I searched touchpad/trackpad etc. and looked through the settings of the mouse, but none seem to control the current laptop keyboard. Instead, it maintains direct me to the tactile features on the current screen.
I'm so use to scroll with one finger on my screen while using the mouse trackpad for other features...
I tried to have some Google around for this online but everyone seems to have slightly different questions and no not to Asus - some answers have to give on the brand of computer - but wouldn't it be bound to the windows software and where touchpad info are stored?
If anyone knows how to change the functions of the trackpad, or at least where to find who would be most appreciated!
Thank you
Hello
There are several different manufacturers of the Trackpads. The computer manufacturer decides what trackpad to install based on compatibility with other hardware and software on the system.
The computer manufacturer will include a utility for the trackpad, which is designed for this particular model options. It is usually a utility that adds a Trackpad tab in the Control Panel/mouse component, or it may be a separate control panel item.
You must contact the Asus support for a solution.

Thanks for all info
I don't have a solution to your problem of file using DVD backup.
I just want to make a suggestion...
Abandon the DVD method. It's stone age, and several times he does not. I know, I have here.
Please, invest in an external hard drive and backup with it.
It will secure you all the aggravation of the use of DVDs.
You won't have to sit by the computer, feeding beside with dvd, whenever he asked one.
You can simply walk, watch TV, read a book, etc. and let the computer and the ext.hhd are doing their job.
According to the country of whichn you are, an ext.hard of 1 TB drive can be had for less than $150 in the United States and the Canada.

I can't change some settings in Windows Update
My Windows 7 PC is part of a workgroup, not domain, but still I can't change some settings for Windows Update. I have the menu drop-down gray and set to download updates but let me choose whether to install them. I checked gpedit.msc > user configuration > administrative templates > windows components > windows update. All 3 setting there are not configured and irrelevant. How can I activate this setting?
Please note that I have no problem receiving updates, but I just want to be able to change the settings, and also I don't have answers about the probability of my system compromised by any means.
Thanks for you valuable feedback.

I get the error code 80073712 - windows component store is damaged - when you try to install windows vista SP1 and also the Cumulative security update to explore 7 (KB978207). Fails every time.
I followed the advice and installed the system update tool for Windows Vista (does this twice), but still cannot download and install updates - get error 80073712.
How can I fix the corrupted windows components store?
Thank you
Dan
CMDC,
If the SFC was not able to repair files then the best thing to do is to reinstall Windows. You can try running a disk error check, if it fixes all of the problems, and then rerun the SFC and then install and run the System Update tool. If there is still a problem with the SFC nto be able to complete then you should do a reinstall.Mike - Engineer Support Microsoft Answers
