    Hey,

    I just bought an MSI u200 today, and the performance and size of this notebook is great. However, at the moment I am having some problems with the touchpad, microphone and webcam.

    Firstly the touchpad. I want to have touchpad scrolling so that when I scroll down the right hand side of the touchpad, the document / web page also scrolls. However after installing the synaptics driver (which other users say works) the touchpad doesn't show up, only the two buttons below it? Any ideas. MSI doesn't have any drivers on their site, so I tried grabbing from the synaptics site. The files were corrupted so the eventual drivers were obtained from the majorgeek.com mirror, although this shouldn't make a difference

    The microphone is barely audible. If I turn the sensitivity up to maximum in skype and dial the test number and yell into the microphone, it is replayed at below a whisper and I am unable to hear any words, just the general noise (probably because I am yelling, but if I speak I can hear nothing at all). I tried the audio drivers on the cd but to no avail

    EDIT: Figured out the webcam issue, turns out you have to activate is with FN+F6

    Thanks in advance for any help. It is a great notebook for the few hours that I have had it as these are not essential features for me, but rather highly desired (especially microphone and scrolling).
