Hi guys
I wonder if anyone can help me out with any or all of the following issues I'm having with Windows 8.1:
1) For some unfathomable reason the controls to modify touchpad scroll speed and scroll inversion are greyed out under Control Panel > Mouse > ELAN. I know where ELAN lives in the registry but can't figure out which entries need editing to enable this functionality. Actually I guessed at quite a few, changing their values (#registryvandal) but no change.
I'm minded just to disable ELAN completely, but I don't know whether Windows will fall back to a simpler, default touchpad driver or whether it will be disabled altogether.
Lastly, I've reinstalled the ELAN drivers... no change.
2) I cannot, for love nor money, get my GMail contacts integrated. I've been through the steps on MS's help page on this, removed my GMail account, reconnected it, etc etc. In both People and Mail the GMail symbol appears, confirming the accounts are connected, but the contacts fail to come in. EDIT - actually - and this is even worse - just ONE of my GMail contacts comes in! How to even begin to guess why one comes in and not the others?
3) Staying with the People app, I appear to have a weird bug whereby any letter I click simply shows me all contacts, not just contacts under that letter. Someone said to restart the app but this made no difference. (Incidentally, none of the letters are highlighted to show which do and don't have contacts under them, which would be the expected convention. Not sure if this is related...)
Thanks in advance TPU!
