Do you have some kind of other hotkey software installed?

I had SynTP.sys bluescreens with a Clevo laptop, turns out Clevo hook the driver with their Control Centre software and Windows reports that the touchpad driver is causing the problem, rather than the hotkey filter from Clevo [1].

I've got something that listens to other devices (ACPI buttons, etc), but nothing that touches the touchpad. It's also a driver that's specific to the model (the main driver won't handle 3 button devices), so it's not like it shouldn't have undergone testing on the laptop.

I'd still suspect synaptics, as it's probably not checking its input properly. As no other device has problems with this.
