Help to resolve Win 10 issue involving PS2 driver on touchpad

I have just installed Win 10 on an Asus laptop which was running Win 8.1, and, I believe Smart Gesture which was what allowed modifying the touchpad features, specifically, disabling 'tap'. ASUS has been totally unhelpful, in fact
they sent me Nvidia drivers and asked me to "try" them. The default that Win 10 installed was PS2, which unlike
Smart Gesture (or even some Synaptic drivers) where you can have turnoff the function for 'tap', PS2 has only standard options.
I am wondering if someone could recommend looking somewhere in the registry to see if I can turnoff the 'tap'
feature, or if there are other options. Thanks in advance.

Thanks neighbor,
The ASUS that I am asking for is a friend's computer, a G75X, I7 processor and 8gb of memory. ASUS has been totally unhelpful; I've spent much time with several chat agents and more time on their website.

I did find one SmartGesture file which I downloaded, but there was a note that it might need an 'ATK' file (whatever that is) for which they gave a link. But that brought up a blank page, and when I mentioned that to the agent, I got, more or less, "that won't work" and I started getting useless "try this" suggestions.

I read somewhere about checking the registry (with clear instructions), and since I have previously but rarely
gone through its structure, I decided to look. But those instructions involved an Elan version, and I found neither Elan nor SmartGesture in the place where the instructions said to look. I may even put a copy of my SmartGesture on my friend's G75X. Meanwhile if you come up with other ideas, let me know.

All is appreciated.

Thanks, I didn't see your 2nd post until after I completed the reply- yes you are right, my ASUS is a G771J but (my bad) I forgot to mention I was working on a G75X. I will try the file I have. I just went to the link you gave me, and it doesn't even move off that intial page, tried both win 10 and win 8.1.

I upgraded my G771J from Win 7, and the installation did the same thing- just gave it PS2 drivers. But I
have had many issues with the SmartGesture in the past- the whole install disappears every 3-6 months, seemingly after a Windows update. So now I keep a copy of the file. I'll do a web search to see if I can find older versions of smart gesture.

Oh, and why am I trying to get this working? I have a shaky right hand, and when I lower my hand to do something on the keyboard, I'm likely to tap instead- the results can be funny, or disastrous- I've deleted files,
folders and directories because of this problem. My G75X friend is not very computer literate so I'm trying to bullet-proof her computer.

Thanks Ken,
I'm taking a break on this one for a few days, my friend wanted to take her computer home as is to get started on her 2016 taxes (just a tad late). I'll do some more research and trials and will post if I come up with something.

Appreciated your 'stubbornness', that's one of my biggest flaws, I don't like to quit, so I'm sure I'll find something
sooner or later. You were quite helpful.

I agree with you on your ASUS search comment; in fact through several experiences is VERY negative, and after just 2+ years with my G771, I have concluded this will be my last experience with ASUS.

Thanks Ken, I have some of the specs of her G75X- I7 processor 1 terrabyte hard drive. I also found 3 versions of SmartGesture and 'maybe' one ATK package. I'm still searching so next time she is over, I'll do some more testing.
I have used, in recent years a Toshiba (screen failure), 2 Dells (screen failures), Lenovo (for one week-worst bloatware I've ever seen, actually they re-installed some after I uninstalled), worked for HP, tried Sony.... overall quality is borderline, at best. I will do more research next buy.

Thanks again
