My mouse getting power off while running windows, there by hangs computer
Boggin:
The Synaptics driver may have been installed with the mouse the tech was using to set up your pc.
I have a pre-installed PS/2 compatible mouse driver installed, but have you ever used a mouse of that brand that plugged into the PS/2 port ?
It's difficult to know what the tech had used/installed, but this is what my Device Manager has -

Hi, How to find ps2/ part.]
for your information, i use only ports on the back of the computer for mouse and keyboard. what is this driver for and what are the uses for that port. Now i could know that ps2 is old type of Pin used at the top of the computer back to run the mouse, of older type. I remember having that when i bought the machine years back.It has no usb type holder at the end, but a kind of round with fitting pins in it. Now , i do not think that i need that as i now use only pen drive type of usb to be used in usb port.
Update: I think you have a mouse attached to that port, and hence shown in device manager
Boggin:
I don't even have a PS/2 port on this laptop and I think they are just preinstalled as legacy drivers.

Hi, Boggins ,
synaptic point device drivers.
Windows has its own drivers. Is it not enough, if those drivers are installed automatically on finding plug and play devices.?
i now know that when new devices are installed , it goes to a folder called preconfigured device folder and if you unplug and replug a device, the drivers are installed from this file, called infcache.1.I noted the size of this when additional device drivers are installed. The older one, which i removed had size of 7mb.
What is this Elan in my enclosure
Boggin:
This would appear to be an earlier version of what you have installed, but I don't know why you should have it installed on a Desktop PC.
If you are still in touch with the people who built your machine, I suggest you contact them for an answer.
