Vista - Alps Touchpad drivers for Vista 64 bit

Hi
I have a Dell Vostro 1000 laptop.. I upgraded it to Vista Ultimate 64 bit edition today and it flies like horse with a rocket engine in its a**

Only experiencing 1 problem...

1) My Alps touchpad is working but the scroll function on the side and bottom are not working as Vista did not pick the drivers up. There are drivers on Dell's site but not for 64bit Vista. So does anyone know where I can find drivers and setup program for my touchpad?

Also, I associated some files to play with Real Player and want to change the icon. It was pretty simple in XP. Folder Options -> File Types. How can I do this in Vista???

Until and if Dell or the touchpad manufacturer offers drivers for Vista 64,
you can't. Good luck! Before upgrading any machine, it's a good idea to
assemble all the required drivers. If they are not available, either change
you mind, or be prepared to live with limited functionality. (Sometimes XP
64 drivers will work - sort of....) Good luck.

It works!!!!!!!!! It works!!!!!!!!

I got my touchpad back and it scrolls too

Read on another forum Vista 64-bit on XPS M1330 - Notebook Forums and Laptop Discussion that Synaptics drivers also work with some Dells so I downloaded the drivers from Synaptics and they work...

All my hardware is active now and system is performing like a dream.. Im thrilled!!

Hi I just found the following driver by searching the Dell web site.
It says it's for Microsoft Windows Vista 64-bit:
Studio Laptop 1535
Studio Laptop 1735
But it works just fine on my Latitude D830.
