 Mno | It is constantly using 98% or more of the processor until it is killed. |
| Alfred Abplanalp | Compaq Notebook Touchpad Util. Some versions XP-incompatible See also: Link |
 Michael S. | Raubt Systemresourcen. Unbedingt Prozeß beenden. System wird danach deutlich schneller. |
| Bruce Wetherall | It grabs large amounts of CPU resources, up to 90%, for no apparent reason. |
| DaWuf | Does use much of processing power. If able use a usb mouse and kill the process |
| | Agree with Mno. It uses 99% of CPU on booting up. Have to kill it to get going |
 Gerk Deukkler | deletes c drive after 4 hours |
| Mr. T | It does seem to run away, best to uninstall it as the touch pad will still work without it. |
| spider @ IBM | Shouldn't be using as much resources as Bruce Wetherall's computer is - may be a problem there. ThinkPad touchpad driver. It along iwth SynTPLpr.exe should only take about 7,500K. Killing it may disable touchpad (but not trackpoint) but don't delete it! |
| alex | pops up and freezes everything, very annoying |
| Phil Bowerman | Agree with comments about using up to 98% of resources. Stopped it running at startup using start/run/msconfig. Laptop is now flying with no apparent ill effects! |
| Tom Parker | I have a compac presario laptop with a synaptics touchpad. Most of the time I use it with external keyboard, mouse and monitor. Many times I've found synTPEnh.exe to be totally hogging cpu time, blocking all other applications. I use Task Manager to end the process with no negative effects. But every time I reboot the application is loaded and eventually dominated operation. |
| hippe | its useing large amounts of cpu resourses for no apparent reason |
| vik | Supposed to be the process that regulates touch pads on laptops, but recently mine has been taking up 99% cpu usage. Annoying. |
| | Synaptic Touchpad Driver (DELL and other) |
| IqbalHamid | This is the driver software to allow your touchpad to operate. It is completely safe and essential if you wish to use the touchpad. |
| Adam | This file is not "dangerous" in any way shape or form. It drains processing power better used elsewhere if you can get ahold of a USB mouse as opposed to using the touchpad. Gerk Deukkler, it will NOT delete your C drive under any circumstances unless you have some whacked out worm of the same name, |
| | Not dangerous, came with Packard Bell laptop - no issues ever |
| Phil | Synaptics Touchpad Driver that screws Dells up. Uninstall it and get the latest drivers from the Dell website |
| Garry Garrett | Consumes 99% of CPU. Need it to disable the touchpad (prefer the stick mouse on my Dell D610 and commonly accidentially hit touchpad moving my mouse, registering mouse clicks, trashing whatever I'm working on) |
| | controls my touchpad and doesn't hog cpu cycles |
| EK | Enables TouchPad features (middle button on ThinkPads won't work without it); should use very little CPU if working properly; unnecessary if you use USB mouse or do not use advanced features |
| FoxBat | controls trackpoint scroll function, and creates dead pixels on IBM T60 laptop |
| r | enables mainly the scrolling area on my touchpad's right side. uses some 0.3..1% of CPU resources. principally dispensible, but I'm used to the scroll function :-( |
| Igor | in IE 7.0 causes all user-written words to be written backwards. In FF 2.0 constantly abuses the mouse so that nothing can be clicked or scrolled down. Annoying |
| CyBerto | It brings the CPU at 99% |
| Chris | Synaptic touchpad driver |
| swift | just saying gerk is lieing |
| Yeaktom | After you installed the driver, system uses 99% of cpu power. After about 10 minutes system returns to normal |
| Dennis | spikes CPU to 98-99% every 10 seconds or so...drops to 0% in between...most definitely does not "delete ur c drive"... |
| mrkortek | on boot up on a desktop machine it takes up 99% of the cpu until killed - I want to permanently put it out of my misery |
| ENTER data | Uses approximately 75% of CPU power on a Dell laptop with Win 2000. Solution: Uninstall the Synaptics application. |
| tollstore | Not dangerous just a complete cpu hog will drag performance down get usb mouse and kill this |
| | synaptics touch pad for dell notebook |
| sk | Just chills out. No ill effects, no processor use, only 4.5k memory, but utterly useless |
| | Without it running your touchpad can't do any scrolling functions. I find that eXceed X.11 server sometimes causes the mouse to hang, and the only way to get the mouse unfrozen is to kill this process. |
| Vincent Nunez | syntpenh.exe is a process installed alongside the Synaptics touchpad for laptop computer touchpads. Provides additional configurations and support, and is essential on some machines for the functioning of this input device. This program is a non-essential system process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems. |
| Dan | Not a critical application on my laptop. Only uses about 600 kilobytes of memory. |
| | It's just...a driver for the touchpad. I disabled it then the touchpad didnt work, you can disable if you want but keep in mind you must use another mouse. Never had any issues with it... |
| Amu | It's simply a touchpad driver. Nothing to get your panties in a knot about. It uses about 5,000 k of memory on my comp, and with 1 gig of ram it's not too bad. Don't worry 'bout it. |
| | Got the message on Sony Vaio laptop,too. |
| mb | If killed on IBM-T series the middle button scroll with touch stick does not work anymore. It takes some I/O resources and about 0.5% processor |
