My computer is behaving paradoxically?

This will probably become an orphan, but I thought I would at least try. I could ask my dad, but he’s already asleep and I need answers now!

My dad put 64-bit Windows 7 on my old Dell laptop, so none of the original Dell software exists. Because of this, I can’t control the touch-pad and it’s stuck on “tap to click”. A website I found on Google told me to download the Synaptics driver for Windows 7 and that would disable “tap to click”.

I went to Synaptics’ website and downloaded the version for 64-bit Windows 7 and when I try to run it it says that it is “not a valid Win32 application”. I thought I was running 64-bit Windows here.

I downloaded the 32-bit version and it says I need to download the 64-bit version. WTF?

Now I remember why I got a Mac…
