If killed on IBM-T series the middle button scroll with touch stick does not work anymore. It takes some I/O resources and about 0.5% processor

Got the message on Sony Vaio laptop,too.
   

It's simply a touchpad driver. Nothing to get your panties in a knot about. It uses about 5,000 k of memory on my comp, and with 1 gig of ram it's not too bad. Don't worry 'bout it.
  Amu  

It's just...a driver for the touchpad. I disabled it then the touchpad didnt work, you can disable if you want but keep in mind you must use another mouse. Never had any issues with it...
   

Not a critical application on my laptop. Only uses about 600 kilobytes of memory.

syntpenh.exe is a process installed alongside the Synaptics touchpad for laptop computer touchpads. Provides additional configurations and support, and is essential on some machines for the functioning of this input device. This program is a non-essential system process, but should not be terminated unless suspected to be causing problems.

Without it running your touchpad can't do any scrolling functions. I find that eXceed X.11 server sometimes causes the mouse to hang, and the only way to get the mouse unfrozen is to kill this process.
   

Just chills out. No ill effects, no processor use, only 4.5k memory, but utterly useless

Uses approximately 75% of CPU power on a Dell laptop with Win 2000. Solution: Uninstall the Synaptics application.
  ENTER data  

on boot up on a desktop machine it takes up 99% of the cpu until killed - I want to permanently put it out of my misery
  mrkortek  

spikes CPU to 98-99% every 10 seconds or so...drops to 0% in between...most definitely does not "delete ur c drive"...
  Dennis  

After you installed the driver, system uses 99% of cpu power. After about 10 minutes system returns to normal
