My touchpad multi fingure gestures are not working properly. I looked at the following link:  but am unable to view the last option (for the synaptics clickpad) in the dialog box (second picture). When I see the driver in the device manager it shows to be up to date. If I clich on the clickpad option in control panel I get the following error message: 

"Unable to connect to the synaptics pointing device driver." (picture bellow)HP.png

  1. Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.

  4. Press F10 to Save and Exit.
  5. Use the arrow keys to select Yes, then press Enter when asked Exit Saving Changes?
  6. Follow the prompts to restart your computer. Once it's done uninstall the Touchpad device,

Next, uninstall Touchpad device from device manager.

  1. Press Windows+X to open the menu, and choose Device Manager on it. 
  2. In the device manager, expand category "Mice and other pointing devices". 
  3. Under this category, right-click on your Synaptics Touchpad driver and click on Uninstall. 
  4. You may be required to confirm the uninstallation. Check the box next to "Delete the driver software for this device" and click OK button.
