This driver can be completely omitted and your touch pad will work just fine. Windows XP comes with a driver for the Synaptics touchpad that makes all the usual mouse/touch_mouse things work. The fancy, plump, and sluggish Synaptics driver supports a couple of things I never use, like tap-to-click and pressure sensitivity. I was able to completely remove the Synaptics driver using add-and-remove programs in Control Panel. After rebooting the laptop the touch pad still worked and the machine was perceptable more lively.
In short, speed up your laptop for no cost, just remove the Synaptics touch pad driver. I did this in Windows XP, but it ought to work in Vista and Windows 7.
