    Hello again.

    Got my XPS14 downgraded to Win7 nicely. I am growing rather fond of this machine but should mention it's considerably slower than my 2011 Sony Z series (on boot, I havent done anything remotely challenging yet)

    Everything is working fine on driver install except one little thing - trackpad issues. Latest Dell / Synaptec drivers installed but I still face the following issues.

    - It sometimes take 3 or 4 clicks to register a click - on any part of the pad (centre, left or right buttons).
    - gesture scrolling. a two finger flick will scroll a webpage then randomly it will jump down much lower in the page (as if id scrolled 5 or 6 pages down or pushed the "end" key). I've tried playing with the settings in the dell software but I can't make it stop.

    Incredibly annoying and not very good for workflow.

    Has anyone experienced similar? Thanks in advance
