Windows Process Description:
Cirque touch pads require the file glidew32.exe for normal operation since it is the main driver for this hardware. The glidew32.exe file comes bundled with the touchpad and is needed to be installed to your computer if you are using a Cirque touchpad for the first time.

Among the files to be copied is the glidew32.exe file, which is responsible for making communication between the computer system and the hardware possible. Aside from this file, your computer also copies relevant .exe, .dll, and other files that support the hardware. The glidew32.exe process, being the driver of the Cirque hardware, initiates interaction with these other files and translates various commands in order for the computer to recognize the touchpad actions and vice-versa (in order for the touchpad to recognize actions or events happening in the computer).
