Deals with a laptops built in mouse

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"...
