Hi Ahmad,

This doesn't sound like a driver issue to me as the driver works once 
loaded - it sounds more like the driver is no longer being loaded as it 
was originally.

Anyway, to answer your question, no we don't have any updated touchpad 
drivers you can try. I think you are going to have to do some more 
digging to try to narrow down the problem before you can find the solution.

Regards,

Phil
