There are too many screenshots. The usability of a certain driver depends only on the HardwareIDs of the specific device.

And no other details could be necessary or at least useful to solve the problem / pinpoint the cause ?

I don't know any other device details, which have an impact on the usability of a driver.
Other important details are the OS and the INF file entries of the related driver.

My current System:
MB: ASRock X570 Pro4, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, System Drive: 500 GB Samsung 980 Pro, Graphics: Sapphire Radeon RX570, OS: Win10 x64 Pro

[quote=Fernando|p57383]I increasingly get the feeling, that the touchpad driver itself is not the problem, but the I2C bus - it seems, that Windows 7 is handling the I2C bus in a different way than Windows 8 and later (W10...) do. Which means, it could be possible, that Win8+ supports I2C functions that Win7 does not - at least I've read some statements pointing into that direction.

If that is truly the case, then it would shine on a complete new light - because it would be a convenient method of pushing Windows 10 / forcing people to use W10. In this case, preventing users from downgrading a laptop natively shipped with W10 to use W7 (like in my case), because the the lack of touchpad function would be inacceptable for many laptop users...

So, attaching touchpad functions to the I2C bus could be intentional - to keep laptop users on W10!

Hi AbsoluteZero and thanks for sharing your experience!

I have come to the same conclusions in my previous post, after reading these:
https://www.osronline.com/ShowThread.cfm?link=257498 (Scott Noone's post)
http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=258269
http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=257346

HID over I2C is not supported by Windows 7
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library...1(v=vs.85).aspx

The problem is how do we determine if our touchpads are I2C only?
I have read around about touchpads that you can choose between I2C and PS/2 interfaces...
I have no idea how to check this.

I wanted to thank you Fernando for providing this space to talk about this issue and for your efforts in helping us out.

By the way, I understood some of Fernando's posts only later:
by following his posts number #20 & #24 about "manual installation of inf"
I managed to get to the point Fernando and Fiox89 were discussing:
"This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)" under "HID" (instead of "Unknown device" under "Other devices")
I couldn't get past that point though.

I wonder if using the same approach (manual installation of inf) makes it possible to install the "Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Driver" for Windows 10
(the one that throws the error "This platform is not supported". There must be a way of getting past this error and of forcing the installation).

Because of that error, I always had to install other versions of "Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Driver"'s driver that were tailored for Windows 7.
but now (by trying it myself) I have learned that most "Windows 10 only" drivers work perfectly for Windows 7 too, even the chipset!
(with "perfectly" I mean it lets you install it without returning an error during installation or in device manager)

Anyway
I wouldn't be surprised if more people will join this thread and write about this issue. To the "lurkers" reading this, please tell us your experience.

Do a search with this string: Windows 10 Lite Edition V7 (x64)

you can find a lot of modded versions where all those additional and useless options are disabled

Thanks Fiox89, I will try!

(I would still have to buy a Windows 10 licence though, because I absolutely need the same OS on both my computers)

I think forcing the installation will not solve the problem, probably missing some other piece in the management of I2C lines. (my hypothesis)

As far as I know this system still require a licence, it is not activated, just modded to avoid all those useless things on win 10

@Fiox89 @cincinnatus @AbsoluteZero:

After having successfully modded the Intel I2C Serial I/O driver for the DeviceID 0F41 (look >here<), I got the idea to do the same with the latest Intel Serial I/O drivers v30.100.1823.1 dated 06/05/2018.
These were my modifications of the related INF files:
1. Contrary to the original drivers all Windows Operating Systems from Win7 up are supported.
2. The installation will be forced (by adding the line "FeatureScore=00").

If you are interested in testing the freshly modded 64bit Intel Serial IO drivers v30.100.1823.1, please send me a PM.

So you guys maybe finally solved this?

Please don't send PM's for help on BIOS edits, I can't help with BIOS in PM's. Please make a thread and I will try to help as soon as I can - thanks!
If you appreciate my efforts and are willing to donate to help improve my hardware, gift cards work for me (Amazn, NuEgg, eBa) - send me a PM
I view the forum like this, please bump your thread 1x every 24-48 hours if no reply

If there would be any, you would see them within this thread.
The solution seems to be not as easy as some users have thought.

I can't help with windows 7 because it'll bluescreen if you installed serial io drivers due to windows 7 doesn't support certain hid functions.

But I found solution for Windows 8.1.
Due to Intel NUC kit NUC5CPYH serial io drivers have the same hardware ID "0F14 for sdcard controller and 22C1 for serial io driver", you may use this driver, i have linked it for you.
It's only for Windows 8.1. I have tried it myself on ASUS E202SA, it's a laptop. And this driver makes the touchpad and sdcard reader work.

Sir Fernando, can you mod the drivers to work on Windows 7? Maybe it'll bluescreened my laptop, but I'm willing to try.

According to the INF file entries the original driver may work with Win7.
There is nothing, which could be done by me to make the INF file compatible with Win7.

Hello
I have an ASUS X756U that came with win10, I have win7 but touchpad is not working.

From this thread
it is told that we can't install hid over I2C on windows 7...

But Installing these drivers from lenovo site.
I then succeeded installing "smart gesture" suite without the Touchpad driver.

I installed the touchpad driver manually by following steps written in the install_all.bat packed inside "Smart Gesture Install process."
Well, the driver could sucessfuly install (I made the registry changes as well with a prog AsusHID_ModReg.exe packed inside Smart Gesture.)

But when I look inside device manager It says "ASUS Touchpad", installed on "Intel(R) Serial IO I2C Host Controller - 9D61" ,
Problem : This device cannot find enough free resources to use (code 12)
Indeed the I2C Host Controller - 9D61 has resources from IRQ 17 but has a memory range of 1000.

I can see it in the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_9D61&SUBSYS_14E01043&REV_21\3&11583659&0&A9\Control" > AllocConfig

sorry for French language

So i would like to change the binary of the REG_RESOURCE_LIST to extend the allocation memory.
But I can't understand the hexa values:

1
2
3
4
5
6
 

"AllocConfig"=hex(8):01,00,00,00,05,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,01,00,01,00,03,00,00,\
  00,03,01,80,00,00,50,03,fe,00,00,00,00,00,10,00,00,00,00,00,00,81,01,00,00,\
  01,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,03,00,00,11,00,00,00,11,\
  00,00,00,ff,ff,ff,ff,00,00,00,00
 
 

I suppose that

00,00,50,03,fe is the start of the physical adress

03,01,80 could be the allocation size, since 3E8 is the hex value for 1000.

Also when I try to change it it tells me "impossible to edit the value"

@lopata:
Welcome to the Win-RAID Forum!
Since there was already a thread within this Forum with a very similar topic and many interesting contributions, I have merged your request into this already existing thread and customized the title a little bit to get the topic of all included posts matching with it. I hope, that this is ok for you.

Now to your request:
As you can see by reading all posts of this thread, the Win7 touchpad driver problem has not yet been solved. The Win10 drivers seem to be not usable with Win7
Since I neither have an ASUS notebook nor do I use Win7 as Operating System, I cannot really help myself. Nevertheless I have tried to do it by modifying the original 64bit Intel Serial IO drivers v30.100.1823.1 to make them usable with Win7 (look >here<), but these mod+signed drivers seem to be not accepted by Win7.

Good luck!
