----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added translations in for the Macro Key Recorder help button.
-Updated two translation help section for all languages. One section was
added to describe that button clicks can cancel locking drag actions.
Another section was added to describe that tapping needs to be enabled to
have the edge motion while dragging feature to work.
-Added the proper translations for the description text for the 'Button 4'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.12.10 12/02/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features

Bug Fixes
-Added new PnP ID's for OEM.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.12.8 11/12/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed a problem where the TouchPad was disabled after Suspend/Resume. This
bug was only present when the TouchPad disabled through BIOS keyboard
function keys was activated. When the system goes to S3 while typing, our
keyboard callback handler received keystroke events with scancode 0. This
triggers the driver to disable the pointing device due to an issue in the
driver. Now the driver only filters on valid keyboard scancodes.
-Fixed an issue where the button events from a mouse (either the left or
right button) would not get sent to the OS until the mouse was moved.
This only occured when the Both Button feature was activated.
-Fixed a problem where TouchPads with new product types was creating a
trashed registry key name in HKCU.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.12.7 11/04/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed issue where disabling the zone for the round TouchPad was not be
drawn properply in the control panel.
-Fixed a problem where a docking event on a MUX KBC, with a ext Ps/2 mouse
attached could cause the driver to hang. This only happened if the
KBC got a reset command during the docking event.
-Fixed a bug where using PS/2 mouse to depress a button, nothing would
appear to happen until the mouse was moved.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.12.6 10/29/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added notification when TP is disabled/enabled through Driver API. This
allows Enhancement App to show the red X for tray icon when the TP is
disabled.
-Added support to dynamically change the size of the default button on the
device settings page. This will allow the text for the Russian default
button to fit.
-Enlarged the size of the pop-up tips dialog box 'Go to Device Settings'
button so that the Spanish text will fit into it.
-Added the ability to now uninstall the driver silently.
-Fixed an issue where the very top of the list box for the Slow Motion
Action Key, and the Contrain Motion action key could get cut off when
selecting the first list item.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.12.5 10/21/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Removed the string "tap_zone" from the Japanese help text.
-Fixed a problem where the vertical and horizontal scrolling would remain
enabled even after they had been set to disable in the UI. This issue
would only happen when the 'scroll with edge motion' control was set.
Now the vertical and horizontal scrolling will disable properly.
-Fixed problem whereby older TouchPads with Firmware pre-v3.1 do not
default to the proper absolute packet format in the current driver.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.12.4 10/14/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Unified the font set in the German help file to be the same. Also fixed
an issue where different font sizes were used in the same sentence.
-Create new PnP ID for customer.
-Added ShowDisableIcon and ForceNoTips to OEM ini file.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.12.3 10/08/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Updated all the control panel help files to contain the most current
patent information.
-Fixed as best as possible an issue where the HCT mouse functionality test
would fail when testing a USB TouchPad. There is a limitation that this
test can fail when the system has both a PS/2 and USB TouchPad present.
Although the test will always pass if the system only has a USB TouchPad
attached.
-Enlarged some of the control on the settings dialog so that Russian text
will not get truncated. Fixed a problem with missing incorrect hot-keys
on the Russian Device Settings page. Lastly, fixed up the Russian help
file so that it now properly displays the help in Russian.
-Added a 2 second delay before exiting the InstallShield installation setup
to allow IKernel to finish what it needs to do. This works around an
InstallShield issue where the UI hangs with certain language versions of
WinXP SP2.
-Put translations for Spanish (Castilian) back to previous (correct) ones.
-Fixed up the simplified Chinese help file so that the entire file uses
the same font and font size.
-Fixed an issue where the font set was inconsistent within the English
control panel help file.
-Fixed a problem with the control panel sending out too many notifications
to the driver when the user hit apply or cancel. This could sometimes
cause a large delays in the control panel UI.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.12.2 09/30/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Use a formatted string for the error msg during installation when the OS
we are installing to is not the correct one.
-Implemented a new scrolling flag to disable tracking cursor for apps that
require focus to scroll.
-Do not send empty packet to OS. Empty packet means no X, Y deltas, no
buttons flag, no finger flag and no extended button flags. This will
avoid disabled Stick device to wake the system up through TouchPad
packets.
-Added horizontal scroll cursor image for horizontal scrolling.
-Fixed a problem with the embedded help file for the control panel for
Simplified Chinese. Some of the fonts where of different sizes within the
same sentence, now all the fonts are the same size.
-Modified the OEM inf file to collapse PNP ID's with the same Add_Reg
sections into the same install section. This fixes an issue with inf
file not passing the PC99 cat ready test on Win2K.
-Fixed the language identifier in the Russian help file. This will make
the Russian help get displayed when a Russian OS is present.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.12.1 09/24/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Fixed an issue where a WinNT4.0 system with PowerCon support would hard
lock the system when the screen saver was activated on battery power,
and a pointing device was used to turn the screen saver off. The issue
was that the KBC claimed there was no data in its output buffer when
there actually was. This stuck piece of data was causing the system to
lock because it was not getting read out. Now the driver attempts to
read the output buffer on the KBC even if the KBC claims there is no data
there.
-Use "Extended Button 4" and "Extended Button 5" resource strings for
"Button 4" and "Button 5" for non-English languages until they get
translated.
-Fixed a bug in the keyboard filter where we acquire and release PS/2
port even for non-PS/2 keyboards which we shouldn't.
-Added back new translations of "On port" to korean device list. This
should be short enough to fit in the drop down on the buttons page.
-Added new product information support in the driver and control panel.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.12.0 09/17/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features
-Driver will pass HCT 12.0 DirectInput and Mouse Functionality test.
Bug Fixes -Fixed an issue on the Japanese buttons page where the text at the bottom
was too close to the group box. The text dialog has been moved up a
little bit so it doesn't look so cramped.
-Added support for the HCT 12.0 DirectInput mouse test to pass by using
the vertical virtual scrolling gesture. When the Enh App detects that
the DirectInput test application is present, it will send wheelmouse
message through the kernel when then vertical scrolling region is
activated.
Added support through the COM API to force packets up to the driver that
contain wheel motion. This can be used to pass the DirectInput test with
HCT 12.0.
-Added button 4 and 5 capability to the WDM driver.
-Modify button 4 and 5 action description to support Windows 98 and/or
non-default button action assignment.
-Fixed an issue where the vertical scrolling strip would not appears to be
disable in the control panel when the vertical scrolling feature was
turned off.
-Fixed several problems with the dedicated scroll strip UI presentation in
the control panel. 1) Selecting the default size for the Edge Zone,
closing and re-opening the control panel will no longer cause the default
Edge Zone size to change. 2) The finger tracker will no longer track in
the vertical scroll region when the finger is in the normal edge motion
region. 3) The finger tracker will no longer track in the normal edge
motion region when the finger is in the vertical scrolling region. 4) The
edge motion regions in the vertical scrolling region have been removed.
This was an error since the vertical scroll region does not support edge
motion. 5) The finger tracker will no longer track in the vertical scroll
region when the finger is in the normal scrolling region. 6) The finger
tracker will no longer track in the normal scrolling region when the
finger is in the vertical scrolling region. -Added sign extension to TouchStyk reverse feeds, also pushed OnAPIClose
down into the port object to allow port cleanup upon close.
-Fixed a problem whereby button state was not maintained across wheel
usage.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.11.14 09/09/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed a problem where the stick scrolling feature would stop prematurely
when the user was still trying to scroll.
-Added a scrolling entry into the Enh App data file to send WheelMouse
scroll message to the HCT Mouse Functionality test app. Sending these
messages can be done by using the vertical scrolling action. This allows
the Synaptics TouchPad to pass this HCT test.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.11.13 09/03/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Made a fix to allow tapping to set button 4 and 5 actions.
-Added bitmaps for the oval TouchPad into the control panel.

Note: How to do HCT on button 4 and 5:

1. Run Mouse Control Panel.
2. Click on Device Settings tab.
3. Select the device from the list and click on Settings button.
4. Select Tapping from the left tree list and make sure the Enable
Tapping checkbox is checked.
5. Expend Tapping node from the left tree list and select Tap Zones.
6. Make sure the Enable Tap Zones checkbox is checked.
7. Expend Tap Zones node from the left tree list.
8. Select Top Left Action and set Top Left Action to Button 4 Click.
9. Select Top Right Action and set Top Right Action to Button 5 Click.

You can change step 8 and 9 to use other tap zones if you wish to. Once
this is setup, you can respond to HCT button 4 click with a tap on top
left corner of the TouchPad. And respond the button 5 click with a tap
on top right corner of the TouchPad.

Note: How to perform the HCT mouse compatibility test with the Wheel:

1. The Mouse Functionality test will ask the user to scroll up 3 notches,
and to scroll down 1 notch (this is the current requirement for
HCT 11.2. This can be subject to change in future versions of HCT.).
2. Use the vertical scrolling feature on the TouchPad to generate the
scroll messages that the mouse functionality test will receive.
3. The message box that measures 'Z' will contain how many wheel messages
the application has received.
4. To scroll up 3 notches, scroll up until the Z read 3.
5. To scroll down 1 notch, scroll down until Z read 2.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.11.12 09/02/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features
-Added support for Oval pad TouchPads.
Bug Fixes
-Added support to build the Synaptics executables for AMD 64.
-Fixed an issue where the stick scrolling plugin action would not always
work.
-Fixed a driver upgrade issue from pre-COM versions (pre v7.0.3) to newer
versions. The issue was that the COM Dlls failed to register on install.
This bug was caused by the system failing to run the correct copy of the
coinstaller so the new coinstaller/RegisterDlls commands did not get
executed. This has been fixed by using a different name for the
co-installer, so the correct one will be ran on an upgrade.
-Added button 4 and 5 actions to gestures and plugin lists. Now, users can
set tap zones and buttons to button 4 and button 5 actions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Change Touch Sensitivity Slider range from 22~62 to 22~52 for platforms
that use under plastic TP. This is because for the Heavy Touch setting the
cursor is very dificult to move.
-Fixed multiple truncation issues in multiple languages for OEM UI.
-Changed the translations for the 'OK', 'Cancel', and 'Apply' buttons in
Spanish to be consistent with the Microsoft translations.
-Restored the translations of 'OK' 'Cancel' and 'Apply' in the Thai string
table back into English. This was done because it is consistent with the
Microsoft translations in Thai.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.11.6 07/23/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Fixed an issue where the Enhancement application would crash when it
incorrectly processed bad packets when the system was under a high CPU
load.
-During upgrade installs, the installer will now remove the defaults
section of the previous driver out of the registry. Also, the previous
version of the media directory will be deleted before a new one is added.
This is to fix a problem where old .ini files would get incorrectly
processed.
-Fixed up the driver such that the BothButtonAction variable has been more

with HCT 12.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.11.5 07/15/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed a problem with overlapping controls in the Illumination settings
area of the control panel.
-Fixed duplicate hotkeys with all the languages for the Illumination
controls.
-Fixed a truncation issue on the Japanese popup tips dialog.
-Fixed a tab issue where controls that did not have text associated with
them could not get tabbed into. This has been fixed.
-Implemented a driver notification for reset devices driver API. This
notification will be sent out when the device reset for all devices are
completed upon a prior API request. The Control Panel can use this
notification to reenable reset button.
-Fixed a problem with a blue screen occuring when an a specific serial
device was attached and the MonitorPnPDevice feature is turned on.
-Fixed a problem whereby WindowUnderPointer returned an invalid window and
prevented the scrolling backend from being initialized.
-WindowUnderPointer now uses the focus window if it is a child window of
the under pointer window.
-Changed all the file version product ID's to the same value.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.11.4 07/09/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-A fix for a reset bug - If the left/right handed radio button has
the focus while bringing up the diagnostic dialog. After a reset and
closing the diagnostic dialog on "OK", there is an unexpected button
click message sent to the control which previously had the focus. This
causes the button swap state to get messed up. If we change the focus to
a non-radio button control, this extra message will not be sent. So
there, to play safe, we kill the current focus before bringing up the
diagnostic dialog.
-Added support to replaces mouse control panel pages if only a specific
device exists. This is used to display different pages on single and
dual-pointing systems.
-Added support for a new swap buttons on external device control.
-Fixed issue with the practice button not working on WinNT4.
-Slightly increased the size of the popup dialogs in the control panel to
fix a problem with the buttons getting truncated when certain large fonts
are used in Win2K.
-Fixed the data offset for PNPID exclusion list to read the data in the
correct location.

-Added Ioctl to Tapping Action static string so won't display unless
the device is a Synaptics TouchStyk.
-Change TouchTheshold setting to apply to TP and not all devices (Default).
This was causing the Stick to pick up this value as the default and caused
the touch sensitivity slider to not show.
-Increased the size of some radio button text so it won't get truncated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.11.3 07/02/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)

'Enable'.
-Fixed an issue where the control panel would crash if the PS/2 mouse
settings dialog was opened.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.11.2 07/01/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Removed the old help files and cleaning up the batch files that
reference them. This will help make the driver software package be
smaller.
-Fixed a problem where some of the hotkey mnemonics where in lower case
for eastern languages.
-Fixed an issue where both the run/URL and key macro strings would be
empty if the string previously entered was too long.
-Fixed a problem where the practice button wasn't launching the practice
application. This problem was introduced in 7.11.1.

New Features
Bug Fixes -Added a function to check if the old 9x driver installed
-Added a message for 9x driver installed
-Moved the start and stop tracking of the cursor into the place where the
scrolling starts and stops.
-Further prioritized vertical over horizontal scrolling, lowered rotation
requirements for changing directions in free scrolling, increased chiral
priority over than of OEM if chiral is active.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.10.16 06/18/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

button could not get selected.
-Fixed dependency list for Tap and Drag. This fixes a problem where the
Tap and Drag settings could incorrectly get configured when Tap to Click
settings was toggled.
-Added a scrolling cursor when coasting to indicate the state of the
TouchPad. Note this is mainly for addressing IE coasting problem. For
coasting using thumb position, the cursor will not change since the
scrollbar (of its application) owns the cursor.
-Increase maximum API connections from 50 to 500 to support 50+ logon
users in WinXP.
-When there are multiple users logon WinXP, disable a TouchPad sometimes
is not persist after system suspend/resume with password dialog prompt
disabled. The problem is that SynTPLpr for each user account is
monitoring device notification and calls APILoadState for it's user
settings. The order of receiving the notifications for each user object
may varies from time to time. We only need to do APILoadState if the user
session is correctly active.
-Fixed an issue where a pass-through Stick device would remain if the
device configuration changed the the Stick's master device was removed.

Synaptics driver file info, registry info and KTL log.
-Added KeyboardController = 1 to OEM platform section.
-Fix the SynPS2_Inst bug for WDM driver also use custom settings for
legacy devices.
-The WinME driver needs to have legacy IDs included for OEM. Also, added
missing OEM platform.
-Added missing Inst.Services section for platform OEM hardware IDs.
-Fixed up the IlluminateState Enh API code. This value is an int and not
a bitfield.
-Use a more appropriate device type.
-Do not update device property page on receving synPacket if the page has
not yet initialized.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.10.9 04/29/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -We now unregister the SynCOM dll upon reboot after uninstallation, it no
longer takes place during uninstallation.
-Added fix to get the new starting button swap state after each 'Apply'
call so it will handle proper action later on. Once the modified settings
are applied, they cannot be cancelled.
-Fixed the co-installer (SynTPCol.dll) to validate installDir path with
SynTP.sys. If the file cannot be found, parse DevicePath and search
SynTP.sys for the driver dir.
-Wheelmouse scrolling feature now works in iTunes application.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.10.8 04/22/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)

fixes an issue where the dialog message that states a key is still down
will no longer incorrectly pop up.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.10.6 04/09/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fix keyboard macro config after run app config bug.
-Changes to support the KBC Disable interface.
-For Synaptics Scrolling Practice app, we do not use wheelmouse simulation.
This allows the app to scroll up and down at an even speed.
-Fixed a bug that the external USB pointing device cannot re-enable
the TouchPad when there are more than one user logging on the system (XP
fast user switch).
-Removed redundant registry entries from the inf files. The defaults in
the code match the registry values that were removed.
-Fixed the issue where the left and right buttons were not animating the
tray icon.
-Added a warning dialog for when users attempt to stop the macro key
recorder while a system key is still pressed. This feature still requires
localization.
-Added new message to display configuration dialog. This allows the
control panel to operate independently of the plugin manager apps.
-Tighten open security on our device objects.
-Added deletion of synmouse.inf that may be around from an install of an
older version. This fixes a problem that after uninstall of an upgraded
driver, upon reboot the system attempts to install our driver from
Synmouse.inf

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.10.5 04/01/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added support for control panel combo boxes to work with and without
plugins.
-Move Common_AddReg so we don't overwrite the custom registry values in
the WinWDM driver inf files.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Add a identifier to the registry to aid in determining which OEM/ODM inf
file was used to install the driver.
-Added scrolling flags to properly scroll a software application developed
by Haansoft.
-For WDM installs, moved the Common_AddReg section so the defaults are
written to the registry prior to the custom settings.
-Made changes to lower the installation priority of our generic hid
device.
-Updated the errors messages for the SynDrumPad application to include the
minimum required driver version.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.10.3 03/18/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Fixed an WInNT4 issue where the power management driver would crash when
the Synaptics release version of the driver attempted to receieve a power
event. This appears to be a problem with the VC6 compiler optimization
settings.
-Added the SynDrumPad application into the samples area when the COM API
Distribution folder is created.
-Updated the COM API Help file to include new help topics that are used in
the sample application but are not documented.
-Fixed the issue where after switching the button handedness pressing the

issue where the help language table would be created empty. This only
will happen on machines where we have manually changed the registry
during testing.
-Change the tray icon from off to static for OEM.
-Fixed issue with SynTPEnh.exe using 100% CPU when loading. Also fixed a
bug that the "SynTPEnh /D" to stop the Enhancement App does not work
when the program is spinning at 100% CPU resource.
-Fixed an issue with hidden Enable/Disable buttons still getting activated
by the use of hotkeys.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.10.2 03/12/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Add a function in CntDevice that allows us to attached to a device and do
all the proper stuff. Then call this from CosKBFilter. And call this in
InitPnP in CntDevice.
-Fixed a problem where the LuxPad would get the incorrectly illumination
state when the user logged in.
-Added OEM range.
-Fixed an issue where after selecting "Other Devices" on the buttons page
and switching to device page the tray icon settings could not be changed.
-Added code to prevent trying to use an invalid buffer if FormatMessage
fails in InstNT. This error is unlikely to be seen in the field.
-Added a no tips entry for OEM
-Fixed bug introduced when the suppress motion feature was added whereby
forced feed motion was incorrectly suppressed.
-Fixed bug whereby reported and virtual button functionality documentation
was inverted from the implementation.
-Added check for input packet length in when building relative mode
packets. Only fill in the scroll information if the input packet length
is long enough to contain such.
-Added driver version in an attempt to lower the install priority of our
generic mouse entry. This does not appear to have any effect on Win 98.
But perhaps it does on 98s or ME so leave it in. Also fixed COM and USB
uninstall bug.
-Changed driverver date to 01/01/1998 from 00/00/0000. The previous date
caused a whql format error.
-Modified USB port so that if our driver should be installed on a USB HID
keyboard, that keyboard will continue to function.
-Added ability to use the chiral mouse dispatcher with TouchPad relative
mode data.
-Fixed incorrect physical versus reported button change.
-Adding the Readme txt file for the Theremin.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.10.1 03/05/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Fixed a misspelling in the OEM WDM inf file that caused an installation
failure.

feature.
-Fixed a problem where the Enh App would crash when the AC power state was
changed when no TouchPad device is attached to the system.
-Changed back to using a BroadcastSystemMessage to change the button swap
value. This fixes a problem where swapping the buttons was actually
swapping the "Other Pointing Devices" buttons incorrectly.
-Added code to initialize and use a security descriptor in the call to
CreateFileMapping for the SynTPFcs.dll.
-Fixed OEM inf files to turn on the red X feature.
-Changed the serial hardware IDs to list PNP0F0C and PNP0F08 as compatible
IDs.
-Added inf entries for generic USB HID mice.
-Added support for USB mice.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.10.0 02/27/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features
-Synaptics LuxPad driver and control panel support.
-Added two new features. 1. A disable/enable pointing device feature
with configurable trigger keys. 2. Automatic changing of the tray icon
when the pointing device is disabled.
Bug Fixes
-Added an ini file to turn on the DisableOnKeyStroke feature.

the LuxPad device.
-Added correct ioctl dependencies for Illumination time controls.
-Added the ability for the control panel to accept multiple dependency
modifers for controls.
-Changed the LuxPad defaults to have Illuminate When Touched ON by
default.
-Changed the default illumination time after Log On from 30sec to 20sec.
-Added the ability for the Log On illumination timer to get prematurely
killed if the user generates motion on the LuxPad.
-Added BroadcastMouseButtonsSwapChange and code to call it on Left/Right
hand selection and on Cancel. This is configurable by the registry.
-Added new string for warning if no "Primary Click" action with no mention
of Tapping. Note: this is only translated for Japanese - still needs to
be translated for all other language.
-Added warning for bad button assignment even if Tapping/Press-to-select
enabled based on registry setting.
-The default pointer acceleration is smaller in the NT family than in the
9x family. Increase the coarse styk gain to compensate. This leave fine
pointing mostly the same but gives a higher ultimate pointer velocity.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.9.5 02/19/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-The TouchStyk press-to-select slider is now inverted to now match the
description of how the slider should work (as described in the help).
-Added two new features. 1. A disable/enable pointing device feature
with configurable trigger keys. 2. Automatic changing of the tray icon
when the pointing device is disabled.
-Enhanced the method of which the Enhancement app looks for the system
current window focus. This method is used to determine which app to
scroll.
-Added power management support for the illumination ability into the Enh
App. Now when a power state change occurs, the enh app will notify the
driver of the proper illumination setting.
-Added support for the tray menu to dynamically display the LuxPad
Illumination settings menu item if the device supports the illumination
feature.
-Removed the default settings for the illumination state in the driver.
This allows the settings to be read/set only when the user has logged in.
-Added support to correctly configure the illumination state of the
device in the driver.
-Fixed an issue where swapping the buttons on 'Other Pointing Devices'
would incorrectly swap the TouchPad and/or Stick buttons also.
-Check the raw packet pointer before using it, because it can sometimes
be NULL while in chording mode. This is to fix a blue screen issue.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.9.4 02/12/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Fixed an issue with the WinNT4 power management using PowerCon where the
driver would not properly place the KBC back into legacy mode when the
system suspended. There is still another outstanding issue, but this fix
is an improvement.
-Fixed a problem that the system goes to idle (sleep) while scrolling. We
now Use the user present notification to reset the idle timer for the system
while finger is present (scrolling). Also fixed the no-op code for reset
idle timer when extended buttons are pressed.
-Improved resyncronization code for when wheelmice are attached/detached.
-Added wildcardmatch() and changed IsPnpIDInExcludeList() to call it
instead of strcmp() so we can match a PNP ID against a wildcard Exclusion
List entry.
-Fixed an issue where other keyboard filter drivers would be unable to
connect to the keyboard driver stack. The Synaptics driver now uses
the correct keyboard filter flag values when connecting to the keyboard
stack, this allows other keyboard filter to attach properly.
-Added various backend support for the LuxPad. This includes new
control panel settings and driver configuration support.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.9.3 02/05/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Improved device detection when an external mouse is removed on machines
with Multikey KBC's.
-Fixed a bug that disables the PS2 device on an OEM machine using hotkey
Fn+F5. Previously this would crash the mouse control panel in the
"Device Settings" page.
-Improved our idea of the current focus window when the focus following
dll has failed. This fixes an issue where we lose focus and cannot
scroll IE when the autocomplete feature is turned on and has been used
to a previous webpage.
-Fixed an issue where IE would not be able to scroll properly when the
titlebar had the word "Netscape" contained in it.
-Added the Japanese translation for "Other pointing devices"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.9.2 01/22/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed an issue in the device settings list in the control panel. If a
user used one device to disable another device, the Enable/Disable
buttons for the newly disable device would be incorrect. Now the
Enable/Disable buttons will be properly set to correctly reflect the
device state.
-Fixed an issue with inconsistent UI settings for pass-through devices on
the buttons tab. Now if devices are pass-through (either master or
slave) and both the devices share the same set of buttons, the UI will
now map the button swap state correctly with the associated device. For
example if you swap the slave device buttons, then select the master
device, those buttons will be swapped as well.
-Added scrolling support for Japanese rail schedule App.
-Corrected a couple of grammar errors.
-Fixed a problem with a control overlapping in the buttons tab. Also
fixed an issue with a duplicate hotkey in German for the Press-to-Select
setting on a stick device.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.9.1 01/16/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-ADjusted the default settings for PalmCheck.
-Fixed more Spanish hotkey issues. Also made the hotkey for Apply button
the same for both the settings dialog and the Pointing Device tab.
-Remove config popup from plugin start code. This fixes random problems
with the config dialog popping up when the control panel is
opened/closed.
-Added disable displaying of icon in Device Settings tab.
-Added registry setting for using OEM bitmaps on buttons page and for
static icon.
-Fixed an issue where resetting the devices via the diagnostic page would
cause the button swap UI to get out of sync with the actual settings.
-Fixed a bug where on a stick only system the control panel would crash
when selecting 'other device' from the buttons page.
-For the COM API, use thread local storage to call CoInitialize only once
per thread.
-Fixed a problem with a control overlapping in the buttons tab. Also
fixed an issue with a duplicate hotkey in German for the Press-to-Select
setting on a stick device.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.9.0 01/08/2004 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)

-Added capability to customize strings and bitmaps for specific OEM/ODMs.
Bug Fixes
-Also add new abilities to read default settings out of the
System\SynTP\Parameters section and remove IsRegistryReady scheme.
-Fixed an issue on the device settings dialog where after the APPLY button
was selected, no control would have the focus. Now the last selected
tree control item will be highlighted.
-Do an insurance set of Report Rate to low for OEM.
-Adding check for initializing COM library to prevent multiple
initializations that creates page faults.
-Added PNP Ids for new OEM platforms.
-change Use to Apply for Simplified Chinese
-Only define USB instead of actually having the USB settings here so we
don't duplcate them in the all INF.
-Restored other mouse compatible PNP ids.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.12 12/19/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enhancements
-Add code to get bitmap from alternate source, like a resource DLL.
-Added in scrolling audible feedback changes. Only enabled by reg key.
Bug Fixes -Fixed an issue where the Edge Zone control would disappear if the edge
motion feature was disabled. Now the Edge Zone control will be properly
be disabled (yet still visible) if the edge motion feature is off.
-Fixed an issue where the state of the control panel settings would not be
consistent with that actual device state while performing a fast-user
switching event while the control panel was open. This issue was most
obvious with the enable/disable state of a device.
-Removed a superflous 's' in the Korean help.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.11 12/11/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enhancements
-The SQA certification dialog has been removed from the Enh App, and is
replaced with a [ EVALUATION COPY ] string message that can be seen in the
control panel device settings panel. This string will be located below
the driver version information string. When the driver has been properly
certified by Synaptics SQA, the strings [ EVALUATION COPY ] will be
removed from the control panel.
Bug Fixes
-Added a the ability to leave the Keyboard port enabled during interrupt
communication. This can resolve an issue where keyboard data can be lost
while the driver is re-detecting the devices. This new ability can only
activated with a registry key.
-Changed ParentClass back to FocusClass so that the add/remove programs
dialog scrolling will work.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.10 12/05/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enhancements
-Added full optimization for all drivers (WinNT, WinWDM, and WinNT5).
-Various Chiral scrolling improvements.
-For COM, create the securable objects (such as mutex, memory map file, etc.)
with all access attribute. This is to allow NT service applications to
use COM API.
Bug Fixes
-For Win2k/XP, implemented IoRegisterDriverReinitialization for the I/O
manager to call after all devices have been enumerated and started. This
is to fix a bug that APILoadState call failed during the "Detect" routine
when the registry is still not available. Use this method and register a
callback routine to ensure the registry is ready when it is called.
-Remove driver configurable parameters because they are already default to
1 (settable), no need to specify in registry. Only need to set in the
registry if the desired value is different from the default.
-Modified the Japanese help text for the sensitivity slider so it uses the
same terms as the slider static text.
-For TouchScreens, we will rezero if .5 sec of ZX|ZY > 0 && X&Y clipped,
or if finger present for 30*80 packets. Also, change the FW negative
finger recal settings to require 3 rather than 11 negative traces.
-Add new COM sample application called SynDrumPad. This application
allows the TouchPad to work as a small Drum to generate drum sounds.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.9 11/20/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Adding ability for WDM driver to properly uninstall the UltraNav pointing
device. This fix is a port for the WinNT5 uninstall into the WinWDM
uninstall.
-Added OEM mfg settings for PNP SNY9007, ECS, and SNY9008.
-Updated the TrackPoint scrolling tips files to fix a scrolling issue in
Outlook 2003.
-Fixed an error where the chiral backend was searching for integral
scrollbars among direct children of the target. Also fixed an error where
the chiral backend was changing the scroll target while scrolling was
underway.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.8 11/13/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added for OEM to remove Slow motion, Sticky, and Edge Motion. THis will
be used until we are able to add the controls registry settings into the
INF files.
-INF style version of NewUICtl.ini - needed if we are to put the settings
page controls into the INF file.
-Added version information to cPad AlarmWatcher module. Also change the
version checking back on AlarmWatcher in setup script.
-Changed Add/remove window to use wheel mouse messages to scroll.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.7 11/06/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes

defined with the right, left, middle button actions.
-Stop allocating memory for every API call.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.6 10/30/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enhancements
-On Win2K/XP, the control panel will close during a suspend. This is to
fix UI/settings inconsistencies.
Bug Fixes
-Added reg settings RetryTimeoutsDuringDetection = 0 and
SendAuxResetWrapMode = 1 to fix TP detection taking 1 second longer on
resume compared to older driver.
-Fixed a bug that tap-and-a-half on a corner zone does not work. This bug
happens when the slider zones and tap zones for scrolling are in the same
region (top-right, bottom-right, and bottom-left corners).
-Fix a problem where the system would appear to lock after installing
the WDM driver on a Korean system. This issue could be present in all
WDM drivers, but it always appeared on a Korean system. This issue has
only existed since driver 7.7.1.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.5 10/24/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enhancements
-Added feed support for wheelmouse buttons 4 and 5.
-Added hot keys to two and three finger check boxes.
Bug Fixes
-Corrected the polarity of the up/down bit in keystroke recording.
-The control panel settings dialog will now close when the system is
suspended.
-Manually start InstWDM when installing via Setup. This prevents the
occasional failure of the OS installation subsystem.
-Fixed a bug that cannot scroll down by the wheel of the USB WheelPad.
-Added Tab stop index to Scrolling Speed so we will highlight ScrollSlider
Control on CTL-C.
-TouchPad can't be disabled when USB Mouse is used on Driver V7.8.3.
-Fixed an issue where the setting dialog for a device in the control panel
would crash when a Synaptics controlled device was removed or added from
the system.
-Removed the code to reset the user's IE smoothscroll setting. This was
only ever an issue with IE4.0. This fixes an issue where the
'Use Smooth Scrolling' selection of IE is disabled once you re-boot
system.
-Fix zooming in Excel.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.4 10/16/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enhancements
-Added power management support for the WDM driver for docking/undocking
events. Now when the system is docked/undocked, the devices will
continue to work.
-Squash finger motion on packets when the finger count changes. Doesn't
have much effect yet, but will once firmware is modded to
properly avoid filtering the data.

Bug Fixes
-Increased the size of the context sensitive help in the control panel by
1 point (from 9 to 10).
-Changed action list boxes to be 113 units high to prevent overlap with
the configuration button. This error was not visible but was caught by
our programmatic checker.
-Fixed a bug where some keys including '[', ']', '{', '}' did not record
and play back correctly in the record keystrokes action.
-Changed all occurances of SynMouse.inf to SynPD.inf
-Added a check to ensure the up/down pairs were for the same key when
backing up in the keystroke macro recording dialog. The issue was that
for some chording situations pressing the back button would cause the
code to think it had an up/down pair.
-Fixed an issue where selected the 'Smooth Scrolling' option in the tray
menu would cause the same menu to not work properly once it was opening
again.
-Fixed several issues with corrupted characters in dialogs boxes that the
Enh App generates. This issue only occured in Chinese, Japanese, and
Korean. Also, this issue only occures in Win98. The dialog boxes
effected are: the 'Information about your Pointing Device' dialog, the
'Record a sequence of characters' plugin, and the 'Launch a URL/Program'
plugin.
-When launching the Tutorial help for scrolling, it will no longer launch
help for the tutorial. The help for the tutorial can be found in the
device settings help window when the practive button is clicked.
-Fixed an issue with the UltraNav TrackPoint scrolling. Once the stick
scrolling was activated, the TouchPad would no longer generate cursor
motion. This is now fixed.
-Fixed an issue where the context sensitivie help was corrupted in the
Control Panel for Japanese Win98 systems.
-Added capability to create a notify only feed or a packet only feed.
-Added new sample program.
-Fixed problem whereby display arena threads were not being destroyed
properly upon display destruction.
-SynAPI objects now use the new notification only feed. SynDevice objects
now use the new packet only feed.
-Use a local CTouchPad object to do the find device without interfering
with the device object of the API class. This is to fix the problem that
driver notification is not received because the notification window was
destroyed by using the same object improperly.
-Change installation script so we can reinstall cPad without uninstall
first.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.3 10/09/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Enhancements
-A driver cannot be WHQL'ed if it has not been certified by Synaptics.
Bug Fixes -Implement power management message handling functions into COM
API and remove from the SDK client applications.
-The KTL feature now works properly on the i8042 driver for Win2k/XP.
-Added a step when certifying the driver to appended the certification
value into the SynPD.inf file. This will allow the driver to be WHQLed
with no error. The Certify.ini will no longer be used.
-Fixed an issue where double-byte languages would show corrupted
characters in the TrackPoint tips dialog, and the compabitility mode
dialog for Win98/ME.
-Fixed an issue where the UltraNav driver would not uninstall the pointing
device properly for Win98/ME.
-Fixed a crash on uninstalling the UltraNav driver after you have used
the stick scrolling feature.
-Fixed an issue where the UltraNav Magnifying glass and scrolling features
would not work properly with the newly COM ported Enh App.
-Changed the hotkey for Animated tray icon from 'A' which also was the
apply button's hotkey to 'N'. Languages affected are All Chinese and
Thai.
-Fixed an issue where the tray icon would crash when single clicking on
the Synaptics tray menu. This issue only happened in 7.8.2.
-Make sure we only update images when the device is a cPad and is enabled.
-Added code to refresh a cPad display on configuration changes.
-Added list of devices to API object. The API object goes through the list
and refreshes all devices when it receives a configuration changed
message. Subsequently, it calls the client's notification routine. This
allows all devices to be updated before the client receives the
configuration change notification.
-Fixed possible inappropriate flushing of the serial port receive buffer
by retrying until the timing is correct.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.2 10/02/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Updated the control panel help by adding a help clause that states that
all the multi-finger gesture directions might not be present on all
machines. This was currently only localized in English and Japanese.
-Added callback function PowerHandlerCallback so we can get early VPOWERD
notification for suspend/resume.
-Updated hdr comment to include correct file name and copyright dates.
-Fixed an issue where the device focus would change after the settings
dialog is open for a specific device. This 'feature' of auto-selecting
the active device will now only work if the user has not changed or
selected any controls.
-Fixed a bug that Double-taps do not function properly on OEM system.
-Fixed an issue where non-USB only Synaptics drivers would fail to install
properly after the Synaptics USB only driver was installed.
-Start and stop feed unecessary for notifications.
-When selecting a device, do not tear down a feed that has not been
started. This optimization allows a touchpad object that is only being
used for notifications to select different devices.
-Changed hardcoded fixup parameters to enums.
-Tuned chirality tracker noise parameters.
-switch the SendStykScreenResolution with RestoreState call.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.1 09/26/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Implement power management handling functions to disable and re-enable
cPad apps on system suspend and resume.
-Removed changes accidentally checked into InstWDM. This caused Inst95.log
file to be left in the installation directory.
-Removed the allowwheelsettings lines from OEM's ini files since the
default has been changed to allow user changes.
-Fixed a problem where the left button of tray icon does not amimate when
tapping on the TouchPad.
-Fixed the WinWDM KTL logging.
-Fixed an issue where two devices of the same type on two seperate MUX
port would share the same settings. Now the mechanism that saves the
settings to the registry can uniquely identify similiar devices on each
MUX port, and can save the settings seperately.
-Leaving the SelectDevice in the CTouchPad constructor unchanged. We add a
SelectDevice in the CSynAPI Initialize function so that calling Initilize
at a later time will allow to reconnect to the driver.
-Added useful "IsDevice..." functions to the COM interface wrapper class.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.8.0 09/17/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features
-Removed the Old UI code from the control panel code.
-Enhancements application now uses the COM API.

Bug Fixes
-Fixed two issues with the Enh App. 1) On a few tablet PC systems, our
driver gets such a late start loading that the Enh App starts up before
the driver finishes detecting the devices. This causes the Enh App
to fail to properly start its feed up. This in turn results in an error
notification during shutdown, "The TouchPad helper window is not
responding". 2) For the Synaptics USB driver, if the USB device is
hotplugged after the system is loaded, the Enh App will not start up. Both
of these issues are now fixed by having the Enh App wait indefinitely
until both a driver is present, and at least one device has been detected.
-Allow multiple devices to work in ZMeter (including Styks).
-Updated the message displayed just before installing the driver. This
still needs localization.
-Fixed a problem with Korean text getting truncated in the buttons device
description dialog in the control panel. Also fixed a problem on the
same page in Korean where the double-click Jack-in-the-box control was
overlapping the groupbox.
-Renamed Release.doc to Release.txt.
-NOTE: This change modifies the default behavior of our driver so that the
OS wheel settings are not reset to our preferred value when the system is
reset. This may cause scrolling in applications where we use wheel mouse
messages to scroll slightly differently than ones where we don't use the
messages.
-Disallowed simultaneous activation of more than one scrolling zone.
-Use setup script functions to create special product registry keys and
move them out of the registry file.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.7.1 09/11/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Increased the size of the general tips dialog's buttons to accomodate the
Greek text. Also made the check box multiline and taller to accomodate
the Greek text.
-Fixed a problem where the "Scroll Left" plugin name was not showing up in
the Finnish control panel.
-Adding ini file to enable RoundTP support.
-Fixed problem whereby touching down in the lower righthand corner would
activate both scroll zones and result in the cursor not being suppressed
when scrolling.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.7.0 09/05/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features
-Productize chiral scrolling for new TouchPad

Bug Fixes
-Fixed a bug to preserve the user settings on the PNP disable feature
after the user cancelled the device settings dialog.
-Add functions to turn the display backlight on and off. Using SetProperty
with SP_BackLightOnOffOnce and a timeout value in milliseconds. Any calls
to SP_BackLightState with the parameter value non-zero (turn backlight on)
prior to this call will be turned off once it timed out.
-Updated the wording of Japanese help text for the enable scrolling
checkboxes so it is clear which controls are being referenced.
-Added OEM Hardware IDs and settings sections.
-Reworked the multi-thread access protectsions to Feed List.
-Fixed a 20 second delay in resume when SD card security is installed.
-Added a change to the default palm setting for OEM.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.6.6 08/29/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Fixed an issue where the WDM driver would not place a MUX KBC into legacy
mode when the system shutdown/suspended/Shutdown to DOS. This fixes an
issue on Win98 where a USB keyboard would not work in DOS when the system
was shutdown to DOS.
-Added new unclipped bitmaps for the current selected device for the button
swap control.
-Removed an unnecessary delete of InstWDM.inf which would cause infrequent
crashes of the silent installation. While this is a general issue this
bug is very timing related and could only be reproduced on certain
machines. Added code to handle use of a NULL pointer. With our current
installation disk layout this bug will never trigger, but could surface if
the disk layout is changed.
-Fixed the issue where disable/enable from the device manager causes the
keyboard to lock up.
-Increased the size of the reset button by 6 dialog units to fix the
truncated Brazilian text. This only shows up if the font size is small.
-Fixed a bug that plugin modules are not been unloaded upon exiting
Enhancement app.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.6.5 08/21/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed an issue where the driver rollback feature on WinXP would not work
when upgrading to a newer version of the Synaptics driver.
-Fixed an issue with a duplicate hotkey 'I' on the German UltraNav device
properties panel. The enable TouchPad button is now mapped to 'n'.
-Fixed a problem with the all the list boxes in the control panel. It
used to be possible to select an item at the bottom of the list box, but
actually get a different item selected. By now allowing the list boxes to
auto-size themselves, this issue gets resolved.
-Removed lowest press to select sensitivity setting and spread the possible
settings over a narrower range. This only applies to TouchStyks.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.6.4 08/15/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Fixed a hotkey issue in the Italian control panel. The hotkey for Edge
Motion speed would not work when switching to the 'Control speed with
finger pressure' control. This hotkey has been changed from 'P' to 'V'.
-Fixed an issue where the driver rollback feature on WinXP would not work
when upgrading to a newer version of the Synaptics driver.
-Fixed an issue on Win98/ME for the UltraNav driver. The issue was the
magnifying glass image would become corrupt when WinDVD was running.
-Fixed an issue with the magnifying glass on Win98/ME. If the user has a
multi-monitor system, the image in the magnifying glass would be
corrupted.
-Fixed an issue where the UltraNav middle button lock feature would not
work properly, and the stick would not scroll as expected when the middle
button lock was activated.
-Changed default "tap to click" value to TRUE.
-Added OnDeviceChange function to update the display (device status) upon
USB device connecting/disconnecting.
-Added a check box for enable/disable internal devices when an external USB
pointing device is attached. Added new checkbox "Disable internal pointing
device when external USB pointing device is attached" added to the
"Device Settings" page. This flag (checkbox) is a global flag for all
internal pointing devices. The internal pointing device(s) will be
disabled once the checkbox is checked when an external USB pointing device
is connected. However the setting will be saved only when you click on
"Apply" or "OK" button. A pointing device can be "Disabled" with or
without the flag being set. A pointing device can be "Enabled" only if
the device is not disabled by external USB pointing devices. Note,the
device status will show "Yes", "No", and "Ext" depends on its condition.
-Fixed a bug when click "Apply" button at "More Features" will
automatically close the synaptics control panel.
-Fixed an issue where the text for 'Scrolling Speed' on the long distance
scrolling tree menu item was overlapping the group box for 'Long Distance
Scrolling'.
-New press-to-select sensitivity parameters.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.6.3 08/08/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Change hotkey to be more consistent. -Fixed a hotkey issue in the Italian control panel. The hotkey for Edge
Motion speed would not work when switching to the 'Control speed with
finger pressure' control. This hotkey has been changed from 'C' to 'P'.
-Updated the control panel Buttons page and the Synaptics Pointing Device
page. The Buttons page will now have smaller, higher quality bitmaps for
the button swap device. Also the buttons page has been resized smaller so
it better matches the sizing of the other tabs in the control panel.
-Fixed a problem where the UltraNav magnifying glass would not be able to
move onto the secondary monitors if the second monitor was moved in
various position with respect to the primary monitor.
-Fix Control Panel New UI dependency problem.
-revert the size of Synaptics Pointing Device page, and simplify the Title
and Version
-add pre-swapping for SetOSButtons for Synaptics Controlled mice
-Fixed a hotkey in the Spanish version of the control panel. The hotkey
'I' for disable was also mapped to another key. Now the disabled button
has the hotkey 'N'.
-Fixed a problem where the compatibility mode dialog box would appear when
the TP spontaneously reverts to relative mode on machines that support
polling for external device removal.
-Fixed a problem with a hotkey in the English control panel. The hotkey
for Edge Motion speed would not work when switching to the 'Control speed
with finger pressure' control. This hotkey has been changed from 'C' to
'P'.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.6.2 08/01/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added support to show the proper edge zones for Edge zone regions and
scrolling regions for round TouchPads.
-Added a new KBC type called TP_KBC_MultiKey38802BiosDisable for use on
machines with 38802 KBCs where the BIOS uses the MultiKey "disable
internal port" feature to disable the internal device when an external
device is present. Use of this KBC type will prevent absolute packets
from being received after the BIOS reenables the internal port but before
the polling thread configures the packetizer to expect absolute packets.
-Expand the with of the static 'Scrolling Speed' string to fix
text truncation issues in Spanish.
-Fixed a problem where no warning message is displayed when disabling
buttons from the stick properties while tapping has already disabled
on the Touchpad.
-Added new round TouchPad bitmap to buttons page when a round TouchPad
device is present.
-Fixed a bug where no warning message is displayed from the Point stick
settings when changing Left button action when no other left button
action is assigned.
-Added support into the Win2K/XP inf file to require defaults USB services
to get installed before the Synaptics USB components.
-Change the default reboot option to 0 for the default silent install
script. This seems to be more likely since most silent installs will be
on factory floors where reboots aren't likely to be desirable.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.6.1 07/25/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed the edgemotion settings for X and Y axes in round TP with the
Cartesian coordinates
-Fixed a problem on MUX machines that caused the "supress taps" feature to
fail.
-Added PnP Register/Unreg callback and code to support attatch/remove on
PnP notification of KB interface change to hook hot-plugged Keyboards.
-Added HID_MOUSE_INST section from MsMouse.inf for HID_Inst into the
Win2K/XP drivers.
-Fixed a bugcheck upon shutdown/suspend for 85750 KBCs and machines with
DisableUponSuspend turned on. Also optimized code that sends mux
deactivation sequence.
-Added code to track the packet byte stream to monitor for gaps during
packet collection. This will detect when the stream is interrupted and
resumed in a manner which cannot be detected by the driver. An example of
this is an On/Off switch that sends a disable to the pointing device via
the KBC. This feature is off by default.
-Fixed an issue where the message "The Data is Invalid" would get displayed
after hot-plugging in the USB Composite device. This also fixes an issue
where the coinstaller for the Synaptics ini file would prematurely abort
failing to install custom ini setting. Lastly, this also fixes an issue
where reinstalling the driver (via InstallShield setup.exe) over the
driver that displayed this error would cause a fatal installation error
during the InstallShieldsetup. This error only occures on Win2K.
-Fixed a problem with the UltraNav magnifying glass not being able to move
onto extended desktops typically used with a multi-monitor environment.
-Fixed a problem with the UltraNav tray menu showing up when the control
panel setting had the tray menu set to disable. Now the actual tray menu
state in the control panel will reflect the state in the tray menu.
-Add COM API into the NT4 installation package.
-Fixed a bug that the slider bar of EdgeMotion Speed cannot be changed.
-Fixed a bug where two radio buttons are shown selected at the same time on
edgeMotion page.
-Fixed an issue where the Synaptics Control Panel would not show up if the
Group policy for "Only allow approved shell extensions" is set to enabled.
Now the Synaptics control panel will run when this setting is enabled.
-Change the access key of "Stop pointer at window border" from Alt+U to
Alt+B to fix the useless access key.
-Undid old temporary fix to speed up XP ballistics. This was done to
facilitate usability testing with the enhance pointer precision checkbox
turned off. Later another fix was applied that mostly masked the Microsoft
bug associated with enhanced pointer precision. This applies only to the
TouchStyk algorithms.
-For COM, added support for storing/retriving device background image.
Also added one more display acquisition mode "SE_AcquirePassive" to allow
background process to add itself to the bottom of the stack.
-Added the ability to not horizontally scroll windows that have a vertical
scrollbar but no horizontal bar.
-Added WDM driver serial device improvements.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.6.0 07/10/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features
- The Control Panel is now supported via the COM API, and no longer uses
the older TouchPad API.
Bug Fixes
-Added all the correct bitmaps for the Pointing Stick touch sensitivity
bitmaps for each index.
-Fixed a pass-through on mux problem where the passthrough device does not
work.
-Fixed an issue with the vertical and horizontal scroll zones that scrolled
by grabbing the scroll thumb. The issue occured when a coasting action
was initiated from the lower right hand corner, basically where the two
scroll zones overlapped, but the coasting action would not properly hold
onto the scrollbar. Now, coasting will work properly when scrolling
starts from this region, and the scrollbar is properly updated.
-Reworked TP_Feed item to more completely separate it from report
suppression.
-If a window has a vertical scrollbar but does not have a horizontal bar,
then don't send horizontal scrollbar messages. Some apps such as Outlook
2000 respond to horizontal scrollbar messages even though they have no
business scrolling.
-Fixed driver verifier problems with pending Irps. Also fixed an exception
upon removal of a COM device under XP.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.18 07/03/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Fixed the timing of when the keyboard hook attachment is made for the WDM
driver. The actual attachment now happens later than it did previously.
This fixes an issue where the middle button was not working because a
specific video driver was not sending data through the keyboard device
stack correctly. Attaching our hook in later after this video driver has
hooked in fixes this issue.
-Add fix that originally was on a branch to fix 0x7E blue screen on an OEM
system during restart.
-For the UltraNav driver, the horizontal scrolling plugin actions to now
work with Internet Explorer 4.0+.
-Moved button swap functions to SynProps. Fixed an issue where clicking
the default button on an OEM page did not work. Added context help
strings for OEM page. These strings are generic so they can be used for
other vendors.
-Added a registry key in the PS/2 UltraNav ini file to copy the default
PS/2 UltraNav settings into default USB UltraNav settings section. This
fixes an issue whereas after install, the USB UltraNav center button
feature would not be working.
-Fixed an issue for the UltraNav driver where each time the system was
rebooted, the USB UltraNav devices would get the same settings as the PS/2
UltraNav devices. The USB UltraNav now properly reads its set of device
settings, and these settings will be persistent across boots.
-The USB UltraNav tab will not display the button for launching the
UltraNav Wizard since the Wizard only applies to the PS/2 devices.
Also, the UltraNav tray menu will not show the menu item for the UltraNav
Wizard.
-Fixed an issue where the USB and PS/2 UltraNav stick devices shared the
same PS/2 setting for launching the Stick scrolling tips dialog. The
support for this has been moved from the kernel driver into the Enh App to
resolve this issue.
-Updating the Japanese strings for the control panel to enlarge the
top-level tree items for the pointing device properties.
-Improved the selectivity of the scroll initiation gesture.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.17 06/27/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed the timing of when the keyboard hook attachment is made for the WDM
driver. The actual attachment now happens later than it did previously.
This fixes an issue where the middle button was not working because a
specific video driver was not sending data through the keyboard device
stack correctly. Attaching our hook in later after this video driver has
hooked in fixes this issue.
-Fixed a problem with the TouchPad/TrackPoint scrolling not being able to
properly scroll applications that processed scrolling messages slowly.
This fixes an issue with scrolling LotusNotes, Adobe Acrobat, et al.
The solution was to prevent sending scrolling messages while packets
are pending.
-Fixed an issue where the TrackPoint button state was not getting cleared
properly. This fixes an issue where dragging by using the TrackPoint
device would not send the button down event with the buttion was
physically let go.
-Fix a bug with resetting the actions for the Left/Right/Middle buttons.
-Use WINDISK to replace C: drive for the WinNT4.0 installation. This
fixes an issue where the WinNT4.0 driver could not be uninstalled.
-Added external device button swap control for OEM.
-Increased width of the 'Reset Device' and 'Click Lock Setting' controls
for Finnish/SPanish translations.
-Fix the bug "After moving the TrackPoint stick, TouchPad buttons don't
work for a while". When filtering TouchPad packets, we also detect
z-values to detect tapping actions. This will allow the buttons states
to get passed onto the OS.
-The "disable internal TP if ext PNP PD present" feature can now be set to
use both internal and external devices as default.
-Removed the completion routine that was used to grab the PDO during filter
attachment. We can get the same information from the IO_STATUS_BLOCK that
we allocate. Also, it is incorrect to install a completion routine in an
IRP that you create yourself without first skipping a stack location (and
allocating an extra stack location).
-Fixed the bug when "DisableIntPDIfExtPnpPDPresent" feature is enabled, you
can only cancel to restore to the previous state but not the original
state. Like all other features, cancel should restore the original state.
-For cPad, fixed a bug that Calculator temperature conversion missing
offset value.
-Added a delay before processing a focus change message. This is to allow
MS Excel to complete initialization before the scrolling subystem attempts
to find scrollbars.
-Fixed a problem whereby Touchpad packets reported while a key was down
would cause the system speaker to beep.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.16 06/19/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added localizations for the 'Enable TouchPad' text for custom versions of
the control panel.
-Changing access key of "Settings" button from 'I' to 'M' for the Italian
device settings tab.
-Add a new information registry key to the WinNT inf file that will include
product information and driver version.
-Fixed an issue where the tray icon would not appear for the UltraNav
WDM driver.
-Modified the mechanism that attaches to the keyboard filter by walking
the list of attached devices and comparing DeviceName to i8042prt or kbhid.
-Fixed a syntax error which caused the HCT's infcheck.exe to fail.

NOTE: The v7.5.14 and v7.5.15 drivers are used for Synaptics internal
purposes only, and do not contain any code updates.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.13 06/13/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-add three bitmaps for Synaptics Styk sensitivity slider
-Added all the language translations for 'Enable TouchPad' for the 'More
Features' tab.
-Added support for the custom UltraNav tray menu. The Enh application can
now launch and close the tray menu application.
-Added support into the control panel to send a 'refresh' message to the
UltraNav tray menu when the UltraNav settings have changed.
-Fixed a error removing the custom UltraNav tray menu.
-Fix a bug that some garbage texts displayed on LCD. Change character set
to DEFAULT_CHARSET for Polish only.
-when install from desktop, copy files to syntp.tmp and install from there
-Modified the keyboard filter to attach even when
IRP_MN_QUERY_DEVICE_RELATIONS returns STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED. This allows
the filter to work when KbdClass/ConnectMultiplePorts is set to 1.
-TouchPad will be disabled if plug in USB Keyboard. So, add several
specific PNP IDs to exclusion list to avoid the result.
-Removed the line that reset the tray icon to not present for 2 OEM ini
files.
-Doubled the height of the Press To Select check box to fix a Dutch
translation issue.
-Added new PNP IDs for ODM.
-Changed basic gain of WheelMouse scrolling and added ballistics.
-Fixed embedded Word and Excel docs inside of IE. Also changed ballistics
slightly to not accelerate quite as fast.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.12 06/06/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Removed the temporary fix to prevent keyboard lockup upon disable/enable
from the device manager. This has been superceded by the new device
destruction code.
-Added a temporary fix to make the keyboard filter attach to the correct
stack on Japanese XP.
-Fix the issue where the "Rocker Switch" image is left when using the
external PS/2 mouse. This issue only occures with the old UI.
-Fixed the issue where Stick UI shows up when selecting the TouchPad
device.
-Fixed the accelerator key for the optional reset devices button. It was
'R' and the remove tray icon was also.
-Added ability to scroll a broad class of windows without the use of an
application configuration file.
-Added support for NT console windows. Changed landing zone departure
selectivity.
-Added an ini file to turn off the new buttons page and put the MS page
back.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.11 05/30/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Updated a Japanese string 'Selected Destination', thatis seen during the
installation process . This string is now changed to 'Directory'.
-Added a temporary hack to make the keyboard filter attach to the correct
stack on Japanese XP. This fixes a problem where the 'constrain cursor
motion' and 'slow motion' features were not working.
-Fixed problem where USB devices do not resume from suspend properly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.10 05/29/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Improve robustness of pending packet handling. Occasionally, the pending
packet count could become invalid, leading to sub-optimal scrolling.
-Backed out the changes to register for WM_CLOSE messages. Left in the one
change to close the CPL when the ULtraNav wizard pops up. This is a
non-standard UI action and we are hoping to replace this with a modal
behavior instead.
-Fixed the Turkish short plugin names 'minimize' and 'maximize' to contain
shorter text.
-Fixed a bug that the corner tap indicators on the cPad are not showing up
after a hot-unplug/replug.
-Added a KeClearEvent to FlushOutputBuffer. This will prevent incorrectly
reading from an empty data queue on a machine with a buggy KBC that can
send bytes even from disabled devices.
-Build debug symbols for the release driver. Fixed ClearDeviceInfo function
to never fail to clear the device info.
-Adding support for the PS/2 and USB UltraNav setup.iss files. Currently
the USB setup.iss file is being used for the PS/2 install which is causing
install problems.
-Added more support for the TrackPoint scrolling algorithms to work with
BrioQuery.
-Fixed a problem with the "Disabled/Enabled" buttons on Mouse Properties
tab not enabling the 'Apply' button. Also, the Cancel button would not
undo the Disable/Enable setting previously set.
-Added localized text for 'OK' and 'Cancel' on texts of buttons in
ClickLockSetting DialogBox.
-Fixed a problem when the UI for the external device is not updated
correctly when the DisableIntPDIfExtPnpPDPresent feature is enabled on a
NoteBook with more than one PS/2 pointing device.
-Removed the word 'selected' from the "Selected Destination:" string for
all languages. This string was seen during installation and its meaning
was confusing.
-Added a UI check to showing some of the controls on the "More Features"
page and suppressing unwanted controls.
-For the stick controls, the "Slow", "Fast" and "Slider control" dialog
text are now dependent on the setting of "Enable press to select". These
values will be grayed out if the Press-to-Select value is disabled.
-For COM, the API mapping will be compatible with older enhancements app
binaries.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.9 05/16/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added routine for setting an exception on a memory location. Useful for
debugging only.
-Created memory suballocator for kernel data structures. These structures
are now contiguous in kernel virtual memory space.
-Synchronized power down with detection. This is to fix a problem where a
machine can come out of standby and immediately go into hibernation. In
this scenario, detection could fail to complete before entry into
hibernation.
-Updated the TrackPoint scrolling algorithms to now contain scrolling
support for Eudora, FrontPage, BrioQuery, Java, and Outlook.
-Fixed a custom six-button TouchPad that only provides Left/Right
button in their machine layout. The UI will reflect the intended button
configuration.
-Fixed a bug where the TouchPad cannot be enabled when the "Disable
Internal touchpad if External PS/2 mouse present on MUX" feature is
enabled and plug-in an external PS/2 mouse.
-The touchpad can now be enabled from the control panel when the
MonitorPS2PDChangeOnMUX feature is enabled.
-When the DisableIntPDIfExtPnpPDPresent feature is enabled, the Cancel
button would restore the wrong state of the enable/disable of the touchpad.
This is now fixed.
-Changed the default communication method for WinXP from polling to
interrupt.
-Fixed a potential problem where the device load state in the Lpr might not
get called if we cannot get the MaxHandle value.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.8 05/09/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed an issue with animation of scroll and edge motion zones.
-A stick response of 0xFC 0x00 will now be accepted as a valid device
response.
-Made the keyboard filter process Irp asynchronously. This is to handle
HCT's use of asynchronous Ioctls. Apparently, when HCT sends random
Ioctl's it cancels any that pend for any length of time. Synchronous
processing of Irp's breaks this paradigm.
-Modified CosKBFilter to intercept device ioctls and grab our publicly
advertised port mutex before passing them down. The mutex is released upon
irp completion. This forces keyboard clients to cooperate with our device
detection code.
-Removed IoMarkIrpPending from SendIrpSynchronously completion routine.
This is in error as the routine will not return STATUS_PENDING.
-Restricted the list of keyboard IOCTLS that acquire the port mutex.
-Added the sub sub minor version to the version checking code so branch
build version checking will work.
-Remove a extraneous right bracket character from the Setting button in
Mouse Properties CPL of Simplified Chinese OS.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.7 05/02/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added a windows hook to monitor window creation so the control panel can
notify the Enhancements application when it starts. The issue was that a
single customer does not use our buttons page and if that buttons page
does not start none of the control panel code that is run when the mouse
control panel starts up has access to a window handle. Therefor the
feature added did not work for that customer.
-Fix text error for Traditional Chinese help file.
-Fixed a problem with the WDM driver not being able to open the 'browse'
window when setting the Tap Zones or button actions to the plugin 'Run a
program of your choosing'.
-A stick response of 0xFC 0x00 will now be accepted as a valid device
response. Typically only an 0xAA 0x00 was acceptable.
-Fixed a problem with some DWORD registry values not getting adding into
the registry properly for the WDM driver. This problem was causing the
plugins, 'Send double click' and 'Use stick to scroll', to not to show up
in the plugin lists.
-Fix cPad help icons for all languages.
-Fixed a problem with the blue screen occuring when the user pushes on the
stick device during boot.
-Added help for new Disabler features.
-Added new capabilities associated with disabling and enabling devices.
-Added new disabler sample.
-Added new sample program for disabling devices in a dual pointing system.
-Added new sample program.
-Added workspace for sample build
-Renamed SecGestures to SecondaryGestures.
-Added support for interrupt driven diagnostic communications.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.6 04/29/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added the tap zones default settings for the UltraNav driver. This will
allow the tap zones sizes to be correct when the TouchPad is in its
various modes and the user selects the Defaults button.
-Fixed dependencies on the 'No EdgeMotion' radio button in the control
panel.
-If the WinNT4.0 driver fails to get the handle to laptop.sys, it will
release device object before returning. This will fix a blue screen
from occurring.
-Update the cPad and Enh App headers to define WINVER to 0x501. This will
pull in the WinXP defines.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.5 04/24/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added support to close the control panel when the UltraNav wizard is
started from the tray menu.
-Added support for the UltraNav driver when the user is in "Use pointing
device for tap zones and scrolling only" mode, and selecting the Default
button in the control panel will now set the tap zones to the largest
setting. Then when the user goes out of this mode, the default setting
for the tap zones will be the original tap zones sizes.
-Hard code the registry path for the WDM driver so it is the same as NT5.
-For the UltraNav Wizard, changing the center button settings of the
stick device will not properly update the actual device settings.
-Added WinNT4.0 kernel level power management support. The driver will now
properly received power management messages from the LAPTOP.SYS driver (if
present). This fixes issues with the TouchPad and/or Stick devices not
working after a suspend/resume event.
-For the WDM driver, the UltraNav help files will now properly be deleted
during uninstall.
-Fixed a problem with the WinNT InstallShield not displaying the correct
product information for the UltraNav driver.
-Change "Applikationsstartprogram" to "Applikationsstartaren" for text
"Application Launcher" in Swedish.
-Fixed Japanese help file bugs. The string "Launch Mouse Control Panel"
used as a button object cannot display Japanese correctly. Checked with
all other double-byte language (Chinese, Korean, and Japanese) help files,
none of them has the localized string for it.
-UPdate string "Meer functies" from "More Features".
-Fix the bug which Right Button Action will become "Primary Click" when in
Buttons page set Buttons to default.
-Added a mechanism to add the version information of a driver into the
registry during install. This is for Win2K/XP and WinWDM drivers.
-Make sure the current device is not left with OS reporting suppressed if
another device is selected.
-Separated OS feed management and user feed management.
-Fixed SynDisplay wrapper touch coordinate functions.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.4 04/18/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Make sure clear display area covers the entire cPad screen.
-Remove FingerTouch checking for cPad "Tap" determination.
-Check in M3N.ini file for removing "More Features" page and changing
default SliderScale to 360.
-Fixed a potential issue with the cPad if a user attempts to use the
'Browse' button on WinNT4.0. This button will now correctly activate
the file browser.
-Fixed a problem on WinNT4 where the 'Browse' button would not work when
configuring a button or a tap zone to an executable.
-Fixed extended buttons suppression.
-Added a simple IRP completion routine for the WinNT4.0 kernel.
-Rotate TP coordinates to 90 degree via an ini for an OEM.
-Fixed a problem with the UltraNav driver. The TouchPad pointer would
occasionally move when the user had selected the TouchPad to be in 'Use
Pointing Device for scrolling and tap zones only' mode. Now the pointer
will remain frozen in this mode.
-Fixed a bug where incorrect information would be put into the clipboard
when devices were missing on MUX ports.
-Removed debug that broke the build.
-Fixed the bug Directory not clean on Win ME after un-install, left
"INST95.LOG" in c:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP folder.
-Changed Thinkpad to ThinkPad in the file copy for Win NT4
-Replace English strings in Spanish Help file.
-Added a check in IdleDevice() to prevent significant action from taking
place if the device has not fully started. This fixes a bug where the
keyboard locked up after enabling the Synaptics device via the device
manager.
-Fix a potential bug which sets the wrong Y value on the lcd display (I
believe it is a typo error).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.3 04/11/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed an issue with the UltraNav driver. When coasting with the TouchPad,
and pressing the stick button at the same time, the TouchPad would lock up
until the user started scrolling again with the TouchPad. Now, pressing
the stick button while coasting will not lock up the TouchPad.
-Move registry key path of filtering tapping/tapzone to "Software\SynTP".
-Add cPad API class for interfacing with SynCom API.
-Added a mechanism to prevent installing our driver on a specific device.
-Fixed a truncation issue with Japanese on the 'More Feature' tab in the
control panel. 'Disable internal pointing device when an external USB
Mouse attached' is not longer truncated.
-Added a registry key to the UltraNav driver ini file to use the Microsoft
default buttons page in the control panel in place of the Synaptics custom
page.
-Cleanup the thread control that monitored the button swap state for
Win2K/XP and WinNT4.0.
-Fixed a problem with the registry key that would only pre-swap the
TouchPad buttons when the user changed the handedness setting on Win2K,
WinWDM, and WinNT. WinXP was already working.
-Changed key words from "PNP" and "ACPI" to "$PNP$" "$ACPI$". Also fixed a
bug in uninstall code per Ray's request.
-Fixed the cancelling of the scroll coasting action to work with both the
Synaptics and UltraNav scrolling algorithms.
-Changed the French translation of "Reset Devices" to an abbreviation after
we determined there is no short way to say it.
-Fixed a bug where the TouchPad and Stick hang after boot or resume. The
driver times out before we have any chance to read the data through DPC.
-Added more support for XP session changes. Now a cPad app need do nothing
to keep from writing to the display if it is not in the active session.
-Register to receive session change messages for current session only.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.2 04/07/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Added three registry keys used by UltraNav driver for the suppress
TouchPad taps filter feature.
-Fixed a problem where the wheelpad settings for scroll per wheel value
was not getting saved properly in the control panel.
-Fixed NT platform detection.
-Fixed problem where device could be requested to report adc info with the
driver unprepared to receive it. Now the driver will just do nothing
instead of crashing.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.1 04/04/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-The Zone sizing control will now be active when the scrolling EdgeMotion
is on and general EdgeMotion is off, in addition to being active if any
type of general EdgeMotion is turned on.
-Change a registry value name for the UltraNav driver for the new filter
feature that will suppress any TouchPad taps when a Stick button was just
seen.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.5.0 04/02/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features
-Disable Internal device if PS/2 device arrives on external port.
-Transparent passthrough communications.
Bug Fixes
-The new Tree-control UI will no longer launch help when the scrolling
tutorial is launched. This is because we are trying to disassociate the
Tree-control UI from the old help system.
-Added a fix for not removing the PS/2 device or the keyboard filter once
they have been created. This will fix two blue-screen issues where we are
seeing unexpected DEVICE_REMOVAL IRPS. Typically we expect a system to
never send these IRPS.
-Updated by the build process.
-Fixed CScroller::SendLinePageMessages() and CScroller::ScrollTo() so that
they won't get confused by irrelevant ScrollFlag bits. This solves a
theoretical problem with windows that use both horizontal and vertical
scroll line messages.
-Fixed an issue with the DisableIntPDIfExtPnpPDPresent feature not getting
updated properly when fast-user switching. The problem was that the
driver was not getting informed about what state it should be in when
fast-user switching.
-Added hot keys to the SC, TC, and HK translations for the pnp disable
radio buttons for OEM.
-OEM requested to implement a new feature that will suppress any TouchPad
taps when a Stick button was just seen to relieve a design issue where the
buttons are directly above the TouchPad. Users were getting inadvertent
taps due to the layout.
-Fixed an issue on WinXP where the button swap state was getting the wrong
value in another users session when fast-user switching.
-Added another fix for allowing the StatusRequestSequence and
SampleRateSequence commands to recover for any communication errors.
-For the UltraNav driver, when setting the TouchPad in the 'Use Pointing
Device for Scrolling and Tap Zones only' mode, the tap zones will adjust
themselves to the largest size. Also added a fix to the UltraNav tray
menu to enable and disable the proper menu items when the TouchPad and
Stick for disabled.
-Added a fix for the UltraNav driver to allow the TrackPoint/TouchPad
scrolling to use Wheelmouse messages independent of what the user may have
set the 'Scroll Lines to Wheel' setting in the control panel.
-Added an exclusion list for the device that we don't want to install our
serial driver. This solution is for 2K/XP. WDM installer is not done.
-Fixed an enh app crash bug when you turn MonitorPS2PDChangeOnMUX = 1 but
did not turn DisableIntPDIfExtPnpPDPresent on (both keys default to 0).
Plug in an external USB mouse or PS/2 mouse, the enh app will crash.
-Added a parameter to only pre-swap the TouchPad buttons. This will have
the effect of treating the stick devices like standard devices.
-Removed some code that started up a thread in the Lpr to monitor the
button swap state on WinXP. Now, the Lpr itself will start the thread up.
-simplify the IsLaterSynapticsDriverInstalled() which is used to determine
if the user is trying to downgrade the driver version.
-Added documentation for the SE_DevicecPad device type.
-Changed priority of asynchronous flush thread to be below normal. This was
prompted by the observation that on win9x the cpaddraw sample was not able
to keep up with finger motion.
-Removed device selection upon device removal. With improved feed
management, this is no longer necessary.
-Removed persistent flag as feed management refactoring has removed the
need for this capability.
-Criteria for determining whether or not a device is a cPad now include
whether or not a device is a TouchPad. Apparently the sensortype spaces
are different for different types of devices.
-Fixed problem where selecting a device could interfere with another
device's feed.
-Fixed problem whereby asynchronous timer threads would fail when a cPad
was unplugged and replugged.
-Refactored feed management so that feeds do not get setup on driver
notification. Instead they just get restarted if the kernel has stopped
them and the client thinks they are started.
-Streamlined feed management some more.
-Change the ellipsis from dual byte characters to single byte so they will
fit on the settings button.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.4.4 03/27/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Implemented a SynTPEnh.ini field called MajorLanguage that controls
scrolling based on language. Also added entries that force Arabic and
Hebrew systems to use wheelmouse and line left/right messages.
-Made CSynStatic derive from CSynMutableCtrl rather than CSynVisibleCtrl.
Although static controls are not mutable, it is useful for them to have
tab stop indices for the purpose of giving mnemonics to other captionless
controls. (Activating the mnemonic for a static control causes the focus
to jump to the next control in the tab stop order.)
-Changed the tab stop order of the scrolling speed selection slider control
to ensure that it comes directly after the scrolling speed selection
slider caption. This will make the static's mnemonic work correctly.
-Fix the standby/resume blue screen bug. In order to avoid some bad KBC to
cause BSOD during resume, we must check the powering down state and decide
whether do CommitSuicide.
-add OS related double-click data
-change a hot-key letter setting for "IDS_DISABLE_INTERNAL_ALWAYS" (from
"w" to "y")
-Fixed the left and right handed strings in Hong Kong string table.
-Added a static text control to identify the UI language to the driver
status page.
-Modified the context help so we can begin migrating to resource based
help. This will allow us to stop shipping the SynTP.hlp when the Old UI
is no longer being shipped.
-Changed the application of DoubleClickToOpenInWebview to only apply if the
control was shown for the OS.
-Add a registry key "InstallSerial" to indicate if we should install the
serial driver on 2K/XP and WDM drivers.
-Check the registry key "InstallSerial" to decide if we should install the
serial driver on 2K and XP.
-Added the ability to turn off the TouchPad objects automatic cleanup and
recreation of a feed when upon device addition or removal.
-Supplied Synchronous flag when setting up the synchronous feed.
-Updated doc, also fixed a problem whereby a device could be disconnected
and reconnected and an associated ISynDevice could feed could not be
reconnected properly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.4.3 03/21/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Finalized the transparent pass-through code. New code supports handling
any diagnostic communication with the pass-through device. Also
thepass-through device is now properly reset with an AuxReset command
instead of the ResetAuxDefaults command.
-Created a "New" enum for the default ASIC type.
-Added a destructor for CAssociate. This fixes a memory leak when the
Enhancement application was manually terminated.
-Updated the OS detection code to make it more gracefully handle new
OS's.
-Move the "disable internal touchpad if external PS/2 mouse present on MUX"
code to Enh App and integrate with the PNP code.
-Add two more pnpIDs to the OEM ini file to be excluded for disabling
internal TP
-Rename the registry key that contains the exclusion list so it
communicates the usage.
-Added localizations into the control panel for the new Disable Internal
device if external PnP device is present feature.
-This verison of the OEM Flash movie will show the english movie for all
non-japanese OS's.
-Fixed a problem with the Disable Internal device if external PnP device is
present feature. Now when changing the settings in the control panel, and
the user hits 'Cancel' button, the settings will now properly change to
the previous setting.
-Fixed a problem with the tray menu not animating at all. This was causing
the tray menu to not appear.
-Fix the garbage texts(Traditional Chinese) shown in control panel.
-Removed copying over the preinstall.inx file for Win2K/XP. This file is
only required for USB only drivers.
-Added a check for OEM UI to suppress adding the new buttons page.
-For the OEM UI the help button in the bottom right of the control panel
page will read "Demo" instead of help.
-Fixed a problem with the old-UI. When only one Synaptics device was
present, the Synaptics controlled tabs would show a drop-down list with
only one device listed. Now if there is only one device the text is
static, and not in a drop-down.
-Use "Flere funksjoner" (More features) in help file to sync up with the
application.
-Added new functionality to the Tray Menu to now allow bitmaps images in
the menu items.
-Switched the position of the Enable\Disable device with the device
properties in the UltraNav tray menu.
-For the UltraNav driver, when the user sets the TouchPad into 'Use
pointing device for Tap Zones and Scrolling only, the user can now adjust
the sizes of the tap zones. Previously this was configured so that the
user cannot adjust the tap zones sizes.
-Added a new entry into UltraNav ini file to allow WheelMouse scrolling
setting to change.

cPad changes:
-change the button captionID for extButton1 from "Scroll Up Button
Action"(default value) to "Launch Button"
-Default the show cPad help to false.
-Separate the cPad help from the Touchpad help control flag. In order to
display a menu item for cPad Help, we create another control flag under
cPad registry key which the Enhance app will check for displaying cPad
Help item in the tray action menu.
-Make a copy of Spanish (Mexican) string resources for Spanish (Castilian)
as the default Spanish resource.
-Added "Clear" button resource string for Czech and Spanish (Mexican).
-I changed the text-drawing format to use DT_EDITCONTROL and
DT_END_ELLIPSIS in addition to DT_WORDBREAK, this will give us as close as
the edit control behavior and also the ellopsis and the end if the text
cannot fit in the rectangular. After this change, a long sentence will be
broken down to multiple lines based on: 1) word break (space in SBCS).
2) any character if a single word is over the width of the display area.
-Adding Spanish (Modern) resource strings for all cPAd applications. We had
Spanish (Mexican) initially but any other Spanish OS will show English
instead of Spanish resources. We later on added Spanish (Castilian) as
suggested default resources for all Spanish OS. The test works on Spanish
(Spain) Windows 2000. However, it failed on Spanish (Spain) Windows XP
system. So we ended up adding all three Spanish resources.
-The display is too narrow so that the Japanese translation, 'feet'
cannot be displayed on the cPad LCD. Change 'mile', 'yard' and 'foot'
Japanese text in "TEXT" to English.
-"No memo for this day" in Japanese is taking two lines (using default font
size 16), so it is cut shorter with a new string.
-Added ISynPacket::Copy method per code review comments.
-Update help index
-Remove #include "stdhdr.h" and put "windows.h" in. The idea is to remove
standard header file form a shared source file.
-Added capability to force devices into relative mode via a registry key.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.4.2 03/14/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed an issue with the tray icon not showing up.
-Fixed an issue where the OEM button page was replaced with our new
button page.
-Added the ability to put a cross mark on the tray icon when the internal
Touchpad is disabled on a MUX KBC machine.
-Added a new object to load the ShellAPI.dll functions. This allows the
Control panel to load properly on WinNT4.0.
-Fixed a problem with the WDM driver not correctly passing scroll wheel
information to the OS. This affected both WheelPads and external
wheelmice.
-Added a guard boolean to prevent recursive calls to the OnItemChanged
handler. This was causing a control panel crash.
-For cPad, added a "Clear" button on Schedule Editor dialog.
-For cPad, changed the default font size from 12 to 16 for "date topic".
-For cPad, fixed the display problem showing in the unit conversion screen
where the unit type background exceed the display area.
-For cPad, moved the calendar display up 1 pixel to avoid touching the
scrollbar controls. Also reduced the World Clock font size from 13 to 12
for Japanese time stamp to fit in the display area.
-For cPad, the Animation Speed Control "OK' and "Cancel" buttons are now
properly localized.
-Fixed some Simplified chinese strings that were garbage in the control
panel.
-Make cPad version information on Properties dialog title consistent with
Driver.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.4.1 03/10/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added a guard boolean to prevent recursive calls the OnItemChanged
handler. This was causing a control panel crash.
-Added Transparent pass-through mode support into the Win2K/XP/WDM drivers.
With the proper TouchPad, it is possible to place the TouchPad in a
transparent mode that will allow all communication with the pass-through
device to happen as it the TouchPad does not exist. This allows for much
faster detection of pass-through devices. -Fixed both button feature to now look at the packet times to determine
a both buttons action instead of counting packets.
-Fix the HTML Korean help file with garbage index strings.
-This fix is for virtual scrolling flip problem under MS Word 2K with double
byte IME. Now using PostMessage to emulate vertical scrolling action.
-Added an improvement into the USB composite device detection to compliment
a new feature in the Cypress chip. Currently the Cypress chip will report
a composite device is present even if the device is broken or missing.
Support has been added into the driver to look and see if a device is
truely attached, or if the Cypress is just reported a ghost device.
-For cPad, added the ability to change the backlight timeout.
-For cPad, added a find to match the best Character Set for date/time
display.
-For the control panel, fixed the enable/disable buttons and indicators to
work correctly. Also changed the "No" in the enabled column to read "Ext"
to indicate the external device takes priority when the PNP disable feature
is on.
-Made initialization of the COM API optional. This is to allow the
Enhancements app to start properly on Windows 95.
-For cPad, added change to use user default locale to create font for
schedule editor display.
-For cPad, created Japanese specific dialog boxes for Japanese
character input purposes (using font "MS Mincho") .
-For cPad, set the initial time zone captions with localized resource
string. Also, set default caption string without "1" and "2" to fit in
the display area.
-Reverted the time zone window to using font size 14 to 13 to accommodate
problems with overlapping.
-For cPad, use locale specific character set for unit translation display.
-Fixed a problem with various duplicate hotkeys for the Danish Tree-control
UI.
-Fixed an issue with Stick buttons that has been swapped via the
button-swap feature, where getting the swap state of the TouchPad. Now
each Synaptics controlled device (TouchPad, Styk, and Stick) will each
have their own button swap state.
-Fixed a problem with the DoubleClick speed not getting saved across boots.
-Changed the usage of SetupAPI dll in the PNP disable feature so that it
explicitely loads the library to prevent crashing the enh application when
turned on for Windows 95.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.4.0 02/28/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features
-Replace the standard buttons page with a clone that allows the user to
select which device they want to swap the buttons for. The items in the
drop down are a list of Synaptics' devices, which can have buttons swapped
independently of each other, and "Other Devices" which are the devices the
OS or other drivers have control of.
Bug Fixes
-Make "Apply" string in New UI consistent with MS mouse page.
-Make Danish button action labels consistent
-Added the ability to see if a device has GlassPass abilities.
-Added a fix for the surface-effect moisture problem. This corrects errant
behavior on devices that are particularly susceptible to moisture.
-Added a value to control the surface-effect moisture problem fix.
-Check if ClearWallPaper needs to be fixed or removed.
-Using wallpaper ReadConfig return value is somewhat confusion in certain
operations. In this case, we are trying to modify the setting but was
blocked by a reading error.
-Use "cWallpaper.SetCalendarMonthOffset(lOffset)" return value to call
"SetCalendarScreenCmd(lRetVal)" because lOffset may be adjusted due to
the boundary conditions.
-put "cPad Properties v2.x.x.x" on the Properties dialog title.
-Added a line to remove the wheel scrolling page from the settings dialog
for OEM.
-When a message uiWM_CPAD_RELOAD_AND_REFRESH_IMAGES calls to the main
program, only suppress cursor when there is no dialogbox running.
-Create a function GetDisplayLocale() to adjust the user locale for use.
Also, find out the locale specific marker position to fromat the correct
display for AM/PM string.
-Stretch out 1 more pixel for each column, leave 2-pixel margin on each
sides.
-Moved the OEM icon to a clear area for the "Driver Settings" page.
-Changed the "operation" radio buttons to use DDX. Also made the default
for the "operation" group to be "disable if external PnP PD present" and
cleaned up the destructor.
-Made CSynTPEnh write the configuration key for the "disable internal PD if
external PnP PD present" feature. This fixes a problem where the feature
was not persistant across boots.
-Adding the default OEM ini file that Fidel sent.
-Added code to notify the driver when a button swap occurs for the "other
devices".
-Changed definition of the com event override function to be consistent
with changes made to the COM DLL.
-Limit Memo string to 255 characters as we told OEM.
-Moved the cPad .ini file from Win95 to share.

even-sized.
-Fixed a problem with the tap zones control not getting centered properly
on the Tap Zones tab.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.3.2 02/19/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Merged SynTPCpl and SynTPCplExe. This has the effect of making the
settings dialog modal and it also reduces the size of the Control Panel
files.
-Added UI support for new button configurations on the Buttons tab.
-Updated OEM ini file with new button configuration settings. Also added
settings to disable internal device when USB device present.
-Updated the install process to no longer copy over the SynTPCpl.exe file
since it no longer exists. Also updated the Win2K/XP CoInstaller to copy
over any custom help module during install.
-Added to the description of the 'disable internal device when USB device
present' feature to make it more clear that all PS/2 devices controlled
by Synaptics are disabled when an PNP, not just USB pointing devices
appear. Also added corresponding controls to the "more features" page to
support the disable internal pointing devices on PNP pointing device
arrival.
-Add code to cooperate with the COM dll cPad display arbitration mechanism.
-Added build project to assist with building a COM API distribution
package.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.3.1 02/14/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-New ini file supplied by OEM.
-Add some browsers to the "IsBrowser" list. Also, support embedded
IE/Mozilla windows (though many of them don't support the "stop" and
"reload" functionality that this test is used in).
-Changed synchronization code to synchronize with the keyboard interrupt
object only if there is a keyboard device object. This fixes a bug check
on systems that do not have a PS/2 keyboard.
-Merge all GetOS() functions so the interpretation of the OS is unified.
-Added a fix into the UltraNav driver. This will allow a new window to be
scrolling with the TouchPad if the user moves cursor with the stick device
into another window.
-Fixed an issue with the Stick device not reporting motion while the user
has their finger on the TouchPad performing a scrolling motion. Now, if
the user is scrolling on the TouchPad, a leaves their finger on the
TouchPad, the stick device can still be manipulated to move the mouse
pointer. This is for the UltraNav driver only.
-Fixed an issue with the UltraNav driver scrolling algorithms. It is now
possible to scrolling both pointing devices at the same time without
locking out the other device. Also removed some unused functions.
-Removed two registry keys from OEM .ini file that are not using active
code in the Enh App.
-Updated the TouchPad API function SuppressCursor() to not attempt to
suppress the cursor if it is already suppressed.
-undefine _RICHEDIT_VER in header file will force it be defined to a value
>= 0x0200 so the RICHEDIT_CLASS will have the proper declaration. This is
to fix a bug in StickyNote.
-Added new PnP ID support for OEM for Win2K/XP. Also cleaned up the
ordering of the PnP ID's to increase readability.
-Added a new help function that can look for, and load any given custom
help module. In order to load a custom help module, the correct registry
setting needs to be present.
-Updated default settings files and OEM ini files to change the control
panel icon setting so that these new values are consistent with the new
control panel methodology.
-Removed WinCE files from the repository.
-add Silent Install Notes to readme files.
-Added a progress indicator into the Win2K/XP InstallShield installation.
This indicator shows the progress of copying the files to the target
machine. Since this can take a significant amount of time, it is nice to
let the user know that something is going on.
-For Win2K/XP, the entire installation package will now be copied onto the
local machine. This will now allow the driver in the future to
auto-install for USB devices and auto-install for hot-port switching USB
devices.
-For Win2K/XP, the installer now has a new helper function that will
completed remove directories during uninstall. This is currently used for
removing the install package directory that was copied there during
install.
-For the cPad ini file, the language list has been added so that the
control panel will only display the supported languages.
-Folder shortcuts can now be launched using the App Launcher. Was a
problem with apps that are launched via DDE, which would pump the extra
TP windows messages during ShellExec, which caused the app to be
launched multiple times.
-Removed code where the thread that is terminating a notification thread
waits for the notification thread to end before closing its handle. This
caused a problem when a notification object that was created during dll
attach was deleted during dll detach. It appears that the notification
thread could not terminate properly until the main thread exited the dll
detach context. According to the windows doc only one thread can be in the
detach context at a time. In any case it doesn't look like there is any
reason to wait for the thread to terminate before closing its handle.
-Added the ability to do a bulk transaction with a zero length write.
-Added the custom setup silent-InstallShield file for the USB and PS/2
UltraNav.
-Set cPad default MaxCalendarYear to 2012
-Because cPad Setup program uses SynISDLL.dll so we make sure it is also
built before we compile the setup program (we request only the NT release
version of the dll).

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.13 01/31/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Disabled the "No hardware detected" warning dialog when the software is
launched without any touchscreen connected.
-Updated the WDM ReadMe files to contain the correct OS support
information, and the correct driver and device terminology.
-Changed keyboard interrupt object acquisition code to defer looking at the
keyboard device object until it's needed. This fixes a bug check on
machines where the keyboard device object had not been created when the
hook mouse IRP is sent.
-Fixed truncated title strings for the setup program.
-Fix cPad setup process to remove CVS and setupdir folders under "Disk#"
-Added NLS support for days of the week. (needs testing on asian langs)
-Implemented "Touch to launch" for App Launcher. Required a change to how
the calc/keypad/calendar apps handled their button activation to account
for the finger being down when the app is launched.

de-suppress tray icon and export a new EnhAP API "SuppressTrayIcon" for
user's application.
-Declare a new window message in EnhAP to service suppress tray icon and
de-suppress tray icon and export a new EnhAP API "SuppressTrayIcon" for
user's application.
-Harmless resize of buffers. Might be related to vendor reported
bluescreen (which we are unable to test).
-Modified USB UltraNav registry copying routines to add a special value to
the destination key. This can be used to determine whether the key has
already been copied. It fixes a timing-related problem where some of the
device settings would not be copied.
-Added feature to optionally notify clients upon the closure of an API
connection.
-Changed touchpad object to not gratuitously close the driver connection.
This change was made to lessen the frequency of ApiClose postings in the
kernel. There is a new kernel feature to notify on ApiClose if requested
and this feature needs to notify only when informative.
-Made changes to global state to not require C runtime startup code that is
not available in DLLs at least without more investigative effort.
-Added a fix to properly update the tray icon hover text with UltraNav
devices attached.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Created a miscellaneous enum to contain limits and numbers used in the
driver and APIs.
-Checked in the wrong edit to build2.bat. Correct it to copy the correct
preinstall.inx file.
-Added code to grab the i8042prt keyboard object's InterruptObject for the
purpose of synchronizing with the keyboard's ISR. Modified
EnableInterrupts() and DisableInterrupts() to synchronize with the
keyboard ISR rather than the aux ISR. This fixes device detection on
multiprocessor machines.
-Fixed an issue where vertical scrolling would not work properly on Hebrew
and Saudi Arabic systems.
-Initialize IoStatus.Status to STATUS_NOT_IMPLEMENTED as required by the
documentation. This will fix and intermittent blue screen (1 in
1380 restarts)
-Fixed a problem with the USB UltraNav uninstall program trashing the
registry settings of any Synaptics installed PS/2 device. This fix is for
Win2K/XP.
-Added a fix to that will work around a USB Styk firmware issue. Now when
the Styk device is booted or hotplugged into a machine, the cursor will no
longer jump.
-Updated the driver doc to include how to handle the USB UltraNav driver.
-Updated the TrackPoint scrolling tip files for French, German, Italian,
and Spanish.
-cPad
Calendar app is now featured schedule editing capability, please
refer this bug database for the spec. The basic behavior is now you can
tap the calendar screen on a date to bring up the schedule screen for
viewing on the cPad device. It also allow you to tap on the setup icon
(top-left corner) to edit the schedule for the specific date. Two events
are allowed to save per day. - The setting is saved as "schedule.cnfg"
under your %UserProfile% directory (xp and 2k, need to verify 9x) - Added
new CSynConfig class to store/retrieve schedule information in Lib (since
CPadWallpaper needs it) - Added a copy of stdafx.h (MFC include file) to
enable CSynConfig functionality. - Changed a lot dsp files and stdhdr.h to
be compatible with MFC header includes. - Have to remove
"SynTPEnh/zmouse.h" (Windows SDK file) to fix linker problem.
-Change copyright 2001-2002 to 2001-2003 (did not change the version
until I know what our policy is to follow) - Re-adjust width, height and
x-offset to fit in the screen without disturbing the scroll bars at the
same time fulfill requirement to increase the space between days for
tapping.
-Change max animation frames for cpad animations.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.11 01/16/2003 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added feature to copy over PS2 registry setting into the USB settings
when a new USB device arrives. This feature is activated with a registry
key.
-Updated the Enh application so that a USB UltraNav device will now
dynamically modify the tray menu. The PS2 and USB UltraNav menus will now
fully modify the setting of the respective PS2 and USB devices. Also added
support to remove the tray icon when the USB UltraNav is removed from the
system.
-Updated the control panel so that the USB UltraNav keyboard device will
now dynamically add and remove a tab into the mouse control panel
properties.
-Add ability to add reg keys before installation. Add ability to not
install the PS/2 driver via registry key for Win2K/XP. Add copy of
Preinstall.inx file during setup build.
-Add ability to preinstall registry keys in WDM driver. Add ability to
turn off PS/2 install via the registry. Copy the Preinstall.inx file
during build of setup.
-Updated the copyright date from 2002 to 2003 in the Tree-control UI.
-Change the Finnish text from "Peruutus" to "Peruuta".
-Changing the short key from "Alt+S" to "Alt+U" to fix this bug.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Changed to align with slight changes to the ActiveX control API.
-Changed dual-reset code in ThreadFunction() to call
CosPS2Port::RedetectAllDevices() instead of CPointingDevice::Detect().
This fixes a problem where the second detection was triggered from
RedetectAllDevices().
-Added a new entry for Styk product ID's.
-Updated the UltraNav control panel to dynamically add and remove a USB
UltraNav tab depending on if the USB device is present or not. Also added
support for the TouchPad settings buttons for the USB and PS/2 tabs to
open the corresponding properties panel for the specified TouchPad device.
-Delete SynTP and SynTPEnh keys in Registry of other users to fix the bug
for Windows NT 4 and Windows 2000.
-Cleaned up interface as part of documentation effort.
-Update the word 'Neither' for the UltraNav control panel and tray menu.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.8 12/24/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-TS controls fail to open when no touchscreen connected
-Changing to one of Primary/Secondary/Middle would flip between the three
items in new UI. This is because of the wrong usage of variable in
function GetExButtonAction.
-Update from the code review, we now let the port determine if the device
removal msg needs to be sent before a device arrival.
-Added a ISynPacketCtrl::ZXRaw property.
-Changed styk sensitivity variation mechanism to rely more on non-linearity
to increase sensitivity. When low end gain is increased too far, single
pixel selectivity is sacrificed.
-Synchronized feed timer messages when a synchronous feed is active.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.7 12/19/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added more functionality into the tray menu. Now the USB and PS2
devices and be enabled seperately on each menu. The disable/enable
tapping for each TouchPad device has also be added. The tray menu icon
will now reflect the joint state of the PS/2 and USB devices and not just
the PS2 device. The tray icon will also dynamically change when USB
device is attached and removed.
-Added support for the tray menu to dynamically change when the
USB device is present, or when it is removed. Also added support
to change the device listing into BOLD when the specified
device is being used to manipulate the tray menu.
-Changed the behavior of the disable devices in the WinNT/2K/XP kernel
driver so that there is no longer any constraints on how many devices can
be disabled. It will now be the responsibility of the UI to constrain the
disable device feature.
-Added a new installation feature that will check that the version of the
driver a user is installing is newer that the currently installed
version. This prevents the user from downgrading the driver version.
-Fixed a problem with the desktop icon disappering sometimes after closing
the excel sheet in WinXP after performing virtual scrolling.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.6 12/13/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added a new way to determine the set of languages we want to support. Now
we can list a subset of language we want to support in the registry.
-Fixed a potential problem where the IRP was being accessed after
completion.
-Modified the code to get the maximum number of devices supported by the
Pointing device driver from TPIOCTL.h. The new maximum is set to 10,
8 USB + internal w/Passthrough.
-Fixed a problem with the stick only tab, the slider context help missing
the link to the actual help topic.
-Updated the old Japanese help file to include more accurate information
about stick device features.
-For the UltraNav driver, when TrackPoint center button is configured for
special actions, the system will now create a fake mouse packet whenever
the center button is pressed. This is required because the center button
is not sent off to the OS, so we need to create no-op mouse packet to
force the monitor to awaken when it is asleep.
-Added new TrackPoint scrolling tips files for US and JP.
-Added a fix for the UltraNav driver. When the tray icon is hidden, it
will now be possible to bring up the magnifying glass menu.
-Fixed an issue when installing the driver for both the internal PS/2
UltraNav and the USB UltraNav. During install the SynTPEnh.exe would
crash 3 times during install.
-Fixed an issue on Win2K UltraNav driver where if a user plugs in a USB
device, after the devices have completed detection, touching the USB
TouchPad will cause a blue screen.
-Fixed two issue with the USB composite device. When plugging in the
Synaptics composite device after the PS/2 driver is already installed, the
Styk device will not work. Now the TouchStyk device will work after the
driver has installed the proper USB filters. A second fix was if a
composite USB device is removed from the system, if will not longer
blue screen. The basic problem was that the incorrect port filter was
being applied to the USB devices.
-When a Synaptics USB device is unplugged, the driver will now send out
a TP IOCtl DEVICE_REMOVED message.
-Disallowed diagnostic transactions, reading and writing of registers and
reading of ROM for non-synaptics PS/2 devices.
-Added support into the USB driver to detect special capabilities of the
TouchStyk device, specifically, the ballistics algorithm.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.5 12/06/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed a potential problem where an IRP was being accessed after
completion.
-Copy the driver debug symbols and maps to a persistent internal location
for use in debugging crash dumps.
-For Win2K/XP, when installing a driver over a previous version, any
previous files will now be updated to the new version regardless of file
protections.
-Added a Yield() before performing installation processing. This is to
allow any invoking program to complete its processing first.
-Changed order of addition of registry keys during processing of
Default_Install. During silent install instwdm.exe is trapping somewhere
in krnl386.exe. After the crash, both the key that started instwdm and the
subsequently added key are not in the registry. So it could be that
somehow instwdm is being started and run before the second key is added.
Since the second key being missing could result in the coinstaller
trapping, I reversed the order in the hope that adding the second key
first would insure that it would be present when instwdm is started by the
runonce processor. I also fixed the coinstaller to not trap when the key
is missing.
-Initialized an install directory path local variable to the nullstring so
in case the proper path cannot be retrieved from the registry the
resulting local string will not be garbled.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.4 12/04/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed the size of "restore all defaults" and "restore page defaults"
button to fit all translations.
-Fixed the bug "'Right Control' key does not work as the 'Slow Motion' and
'Constrained Pointer' key."
-Moved code for refreshing the tray icon from power down to power up action.
Also added a fix to update the tray icon properly.
-Fixed an issue with the magnifying glass function image getting the border
of the previous image when the user changes the custom size in the control
panel.
-Add Temperature and Speed units to cPad calculator weights and measures.
-For the styk only UI, the middle button text will properly when change
when the middle button is pressed.
-For stick only systems, the tray menu will change such that the TouchPad's
'Tap to Click' menu item will be replace with the TouchStyk's 'Press to
Select' menu item.
-Updated the Japanese string for "Heavy Touch' in the control panel.
-For Styk only UI, the default plugin for the middle button will be stick
scrolling.
-For stick only models, the TouchPad "Touch Sensitivity" and "Pointer
Motion" controls will be hidden from the motion tab.
-Fixed a Japanese misspelling in the UltraNav driver Welcome Installation
screen.
-Added support for COM API Motion Rotation Angle function.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.3 11/27/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Fixed the magnifying glass window when it contained the wrong image when
the user switches from a small to a large custom magnifying glass size
in the control panel.
-Fixed an issue with the stick magnifying glass function. When changing
from a fixed sized magnfiying window to a larger custom size window, this
would leave a corrupted image in the magnifying window.
-Fixed hotkeys for Thai strings.
-Fixed an issue where the middle button text would show up if there were
no TouchPad and Stick present. Fixed an issue where the Stick UI would
not show up when only a stick was present.
-Updated the Enhancement application tray icon to load custom tray icons
from OEM ini files based upon the resource ID of the icons.
-Changed UsesLatinCharset() to check that the first call to GetLocaleInfo()
succeeded. For some reason this fails under Win98SE if the language does
not use a Latin character set.
-Updated the TrackPoint scrolling data files to include support for MS
Access.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.2 11/22/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added a OEM Stick Page. This page is based off the Synaptics Touch page.
I also modified the OEM's Buttons page to show the middle button on the
Stick only system.
-Fixed bug in rotation angle property. It inadvertantly got changed to
point to the wrong underlying service.
-Added a fix where the Default buttons are correctly enabled and disabled
depending on the "restorealldefaults" registry key.
-Added some Japanese translations for new ui.
-Added some more translations for the control panel.
-Added translated help for Restore all defaults and Restore page defaults
buttons.
-Finally added all the translations for the control panel.
-Fixed hotkeys for Restore all defaults button. Also fixed the hotkey for
one string in thai.
-Made some modifications to the filter attachment routine: changed
AttachToCorrectDevice() to AttachToDevice(), now using
SendIrpSynchronously() instead of IoCallDriver(), and now allocating
buffer from the stack instead of the heap.
-Added a stick icon into the Enh App project.
-Added an entry into the OEM ini file to turn on custom icons for the tray.
-Added support for having OEM tray icons under various situations.
-Added the middle button string to the japanese buttons page.
-Modfied the parsing of ini file entries that use [DELETE] so the key name
can have spaces in it. I needed to delete "Pressure Graph".
-Added a comment to clarify the default case in the switch statement that
sets the ASIC type.
-Fixed a crashing bug for "Running New UI with a debug build of
syntpcpl.exe, get syntpcpl.exe crash."
-Added support for turning on/off keystroke filter for a stick device.
Previously this setting was always on.
-Changed the plugin update code in OnDriverNotification() to prevent a
series of timeouts when a device arrives with a new handle. This was
causing a problem on mux machines where the Synaptics user-mode apps would
be unresponsive after hot- plugging an external PS/2 pointing device.
-Added OEM supplied ini files that consolidate pre-merger files.
-Fixed the synchronous feed mechanism so that the number of undispatched
message will get reset when a synchronous feed is created or refreshed.
This fixes a problem with the magnifying glass function not moving when
the user activates this function after a suspend/resume.
-Changed the access key of item "Edge Motion/Always" from 'Alt+I' to
'Alt+M'.
-Rolled back change where the reverse feed respected the suppression state.
-Changed semantics of feed suppression to return an error if a device
handle conflict occurs. Currently, no error is returned if one device is
currently suppressing the cursor and another device tries to change the
suppression state. Changed the model to follow the COM API's acquire
semantics. Only one device is allowed to acquire the cursor at a time.
-Fixed a hotkey that was lower case.
-Fixed the "on" to have a leading and trailing space.
-Updated the device suppression code to work properly with reverse feeds,
and also suppressed devices will not report any buttons information
through a master/slave device.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.1 11/19/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-German translation for IDS_TREE_BOTTOM_LEFT_ACTION was wrong. Changed
from "Aktion f(c)úr linke Taste" to "Untere linke Aktion".
-Added a function to attach the keyboard filter to the correct device
object stack rather than the first one it finds. This fix only affects
Win2k/XP. -Updated the Japanese control panel help to include new help about the
'Default' buttons. Also, updated the run/browse dialog titles in
Japanese.
-Fixed a bug where the settings dlg was not poping up correctly.
-Adding an registry entry to change the i8042prt buffer size to 132 for
Win2K/XP.
-Created a setup.iss file for Win2k/Xp

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.2.0 11/15/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features
-Updated the WinWDM inf files to now include support for Synaptics USB
composite devices.
Bug Fixes
-TouchScreen Diagnostic Software initial check-in Version 1.0.1 (Beta)
-Removed the libmng files because the MNG viewer will probably never be
implemented.
-Added a fix for the Synaptics TouchStyk ballistic algorithms to counteract
a Microsoft WinXP acceleration algorithm issue.
-Fixed a problem with the old-UI when the user opens either the scrolling,
edge zone, or tap zone tab with any non-TouchPad device would cause the
zone GUI to contain strange round bezel graphics. These graphics have now
been removed.
-Changed one more 5 button wheel mouse string to just wheel mouse.
-Changed the DisableInternalPD... key name to more accurately indicate the
feature's functionality.
-Added a fix where "restore page defaults" button does not appear for tree
items which dont have configurable buttons.
-Added new help topic for the Restore all defaults and restore page
defaults button.
-Fixed some duplicate and missing hot keys.
-Fixed the hiding of the defaults button for tree items that don't have
buttons.
-Fixed a corrupted help file for SC.
-Added the T1004B and T1005A ASIC types. Also changed T1004 to T1004A.
This "fixed" a two finger gesture issue where lifting a finger while
gesturing would not revert to pointing behavior.
-Made the mnemonic checker display a message box if discrepancies are
detected.
-Added support for configuring and controlling USB composite devices for
the Win2K/XP/WDM drivers.
-Updating the Win2K/XP inf files to now support Synaptics composite
devices.
-When setting "Select program to run" or "Go to a web page in your
default browser" with 'Button Action' or 'Tab Zone', the content
would be cleared in edit box with re-invoking dialog box. Before
configuring the two functions, updating the flag
'm_bNoDefaultRunAppURLConfig' by calling function
'NeedsConfiguration'would fix the bug.
-Added two new disable and enable buttons for the feature
"DisablePDifexternalPDPresent".
-Added two new enhapi items to turn on and off the monitoring for external
device arrival and asking if this feature is enabled or not.
-Made the enabling and disabling of the settings button correct with the
plugging in and out of the external device.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.1.0 11/08/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
New Features
-Release version of the "Disable internal Synaptics devices if external Pnp
pointing device is detected feature". This feature is registry controlled
and off by default.
-Release version of the "Restore all defaults" feature. This feature is
registry controlled and off by default.
Bug Fixes
-Fix a bug where the TP properties window(new UI) close automatically when
the alt-r hotkey is used to reload a page. We now check to see if the
window is a browser then stop loading web page.
-Added a check to ensure the DisableInternalSynapticsDevices... feature
does not run on 95 and NT4.
-Modified the code to dynamically load the Register/Unregister functions.
Added a line to put up a TouchPad icon with a red X when the TouchPad is
disabled.
-Restored the Trackpoint JP string.
-Added a new mechanism to setup a syncronous feed system for receiving
packets from the TouchPad API.
-Refactored the entire enhancement application so that it now runs as a
single threaded application. All the locking and unlocking code has now
been removed. Also, as a side-affect, the TrackPoint magnifying glass
function now works more smoothly.
-Fixed a problem with the Win9x driver with the new version of
InstallShield. If the driver was installed with an OEM ini file, the file
would cause an error during install, and be left around after uninstall
because the file has read-only attributes. Now when the file is removed,
the attributes are changed so that we can delete it.
-Fixed an uninstall registry key delete issue. We need to delete "The
Synatpics Pointing Device Driver" key since we changed "TouchPad" to
"Pointing Device".
-Restored the original tab order of the controls in the mouse properties
control panel for the old UI.
-Fixed two WinNT InstallShield v6.3 issues. The first issue was to
increase the size of strings that can be displayed so that the 'Make a
repair disk' message will no longer be truncated. Second, any OEM ini
file that happens to be read-only during the installation process will no
longer cause the installation to abort mid-installation.
-Localized the new UI dialog title. These strings still need translation,
but they now will pick up the translations when done.
-Added an .ini file that can be used as a temporary solution to the ISR
buffer overflow problem.
-Added new cPad discovery mechanism
-Added support for asynchronous update of a cPad display.
-Improvements made to be consistent with new sample cPadDraw.
-New sample program for drawing on the cPad.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.0.6 11/01/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Added an object to detect the arrival and departure of USB Devices.
This allows the driver to disable a device if a USB device arrives.
-Added "restore all defaults" settings in the new ui. This feature is
configurable with a registry key.
-Fixed translations for press-to-select in Japanese in new ui help.
-Fix a problem with the scroll bar turning gray when virtual scrolling
in WinXP.
-Fixed the bug where the tray icon remains in animated state after
stand-by/resume. -Fixed a bug where the check box to enable two and three finger gestures
was not showing up in the new ui.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.0.5 10/25/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-Changed the behavior of moving the TrackPoint magnifying glass on
Win2K/XP such that the movement is smoother. -Added code to watch the WM_TIMECHANGE message for updating the clock for
cPad.
-For the InstallShield Install\Uninstall error messages, and the
'Information about you TouchPad' dialog box, all references to
'TouchPad' have been changed to 'Pointing Device'.
-Implement a registry-controlled "Disable TouchPad" entry in the tray
menu. This feature is enabled via the registry.
-Changed the default show command for the cPad applauncher to use SW_SHOW
instead of SW_SHOWNORMAL. This changes the launch behavior so that the
newly launched application ends up on top of the Z order.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.0.4 10/23/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes
-The 5 button wheel mouse will now be displayed as a wheel mouse in the old
and new ui. -Changed SendIrpOSControlAndCompleteIrp to respect the m_bFilterDevice flag
when building the OSControlInfo structure that is passed to SendOSControl.
Before the change SendOSControl would mistakenly pass down an Irp in
situations where there was no lower level driver, for instance in a WDM
driver PS/2 device.
-Fixed a problem on the tree-control UI page. If there is no URL link
listed in the registry, it is still possible for the user to click on the
URL area between the 'Defaults' and 'OK' button and launch windows
explorer. Now if there is no URL listed in the registry, the entire URL
control is turned off.
-Fix the bug: Can not save the name of a program to run or URL of a web
page with "Buttons" and "Tap Zones" tab. Fix the bug by setting the flag
'm_bNoDefaultRunAppURLConfig' to FALSE in function
CPluginAction::NeedsConfiguration.
-Change "TouchPad" references to "Pointing Device" where we meant generic
Synaptics devices.
-Added new translation for Japanese strings for information messages when
user attempts to install/uninstall the driver withour Admininstrator
access.
-Fix the bug: having no buttons configurable causes new UI to crash.
-Added functionality to enable\disable\hide the extended buttons. Before
we assumed that all the extended buttons were valid and configurable. Now
we correctly check that actual settings in the registry.
-Created a batch process to help in editing and compiling help files.
-Removed the creation of the floppy copy batch file.
-Altered maintenance of the feed notification thread's exit flag. The
thread itself now resets the flag when exiting. This allows for situations
such as re-running an app under Visual Basic. The COM dll is not unloaded
from one run to the next so once the app has exited the feed thread will
exit prematurely unless the flag is maintained properly.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 7.0.3 10/17/2002 (Win9x&ME/WinNT/Win2K/WinXP)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug Fixes -Update the Lpr to save the correct button swap state so that this
registry value will not be written to the registry incorrectly during
uninstall.
-Fixed a bug with scrolling where scrolling through a popup window (like
the WinXP network disconnect message, or the WinXP 'Take a Tour of WinXP'
message) would actually select the popup window and launch the popup
window. Now scrolling will be cancelled if we ever attempt to scrolling
over a taskbar popup window.
-Fixed a problem with the USB and PS/2 WheelPad devices sending incorrect
button and motion information when the user is using the Wheel.
-Fixed a problem with the stick device not getting disabled if the user
enabled the TouchPad (when previously disabled), and disabled the stick
(when previously enabled) then pressed apply. This problem only occured

'Scrolling' page of Control Panel(Germany). This will not duplicate with
the hot key of Apply button.

causing any problems at this time.

area during uninstall. The uninstall invocation of instwdm now passes its
location in the command tail when invoking the cleanup phase instwdm.

of the Synaptics devices from "Synaptics PS/2 TouchPad" to "Synaptics PS/2
Port Pointing Device".
