Dead Touchpad On HP Notebook Running XP
Jan 4, 2007
I've got an HP Pavilion ze4400 on which the touchpad doesn't work. I can't be sure whether it's a faulty device or if drivers aren't installed. In Control Panel, under Mouse, Hardware, only one device (the USB mouse I'm using) shows up. I'm not sure what the standard touchpad driver for HP notebooks is. Going through the Add Hardware Wizard and telling XP that the device is already installed, it then gives me a list of installed hardware to select from. I don't know what that driver is, if it's even in there. what the driver is this

My Acer TravelMate TM802LCI notebook touchpad and left/right click buttons are not responding to any user inputs. Have tried reinstalling Synaptics driver to no avail. Currently using a wireless mouse connected via USB port. Touchpad version is v5.8 and hardware properties show it is connected through PS/2 port and is working properly. BIOS shows that the touchpad is enabled for both internal and external inputs.

I have an Acer 2312 laptop running WXP. The cursor can not be moved by the touchpad. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the touchpad and its drivers several times wih no success. Device manager tells me everything is just fine. The cursor responds normally to my wireless mouse so I can live without the touchpad but I don't feel comfortable when something malfunctions; particularly when I don't know what caused the glitch.I have searched the sites of Acer and Symantic and found no useful information.If anyone has a clue on what the solution Is I wouldmuch appreciate hearing from you. stewart

Hi. I really hope someone can help me. Today when i turned on my laptop, i found that the left button on my touchpad would not work, and neither would double clicking the touchpad. The right button seems unaffected. Unfortunately, I can do very little with my computer now, as I cannot click on anything. Using the keys, I managed to do a system restore

A LG netbook turned it on and the cursor is just stuck there in the middle of the screen. I don't use a mouse, just the touchpad, so I can't even attempt to do anything. Everything else seems to be working fine in the background upon boot up and on the desktop, but the cursor won't budge. Tried to open control panel but obviously can't do that with the cursor stuck. Any options the DON'T involve me having to buy a new USB mouse

I have a Dell Inspiron 4100 laptop with Windows XP Operating System. Recently, the mouse begins to move on its own without me touching anything usually the left bottom corner but it could be other directions as well. When I use the touchpad, the mouse moves but I am competing with something stronger pulling it to one side so I have trouble controlling the mouse in general. Since the Inspiron has two types of laptop mouses (the touchpad and ball), I have to use them both in tandem to actually move the mouse

In Windows XP, where do you find the touchpad options for laptops? I've looked at all the driver devices and I can't seem to find anything.

I have a pavilion dv9000 notebook running XP and every time I change the pointer speed for the touchpad to its fastest setting it will reset itself to the default setting after I shutdown and reboot. I need the touchpad on its fastest setting because of the wide screen and the fact that I don't always have my wireless mouse w/ me. is having a Logitech wireless mouse installed. The setpoint.exe program for the wireless mouse runs in the background whether or not the mouse is connected.

I have had an Acer Aspire 5670 for about 2 years. This morning, it was making a horrible noise (I left it on overnight and couldn't hear the noise until I went into my office). It sounded like a fan or spinning noise of some kind, but also might have been an audio file that was stuck repeating the first tenth of a second of the track. In any event, the monitor was dark and the PC was totally nonresponsive. I did a hard reboot and since then, the PC has not worked. The power button does turn it on and I can hear the HDD spinning and the DVD/CD drive looking for a disc (and it will accept/eject discs) but the screen never comes on and the PC doesn't seem to boot up. I don't ever hear the Windows welcome .wav file.
how should i fix the problem?

I have a (really) old Compaq Armada M300 running Win2K Pro. It was given to me several years ago from a buddy who upgraded. Old, slow, not much space, but we use it daily as an extremely convenient 'dummy terminal' to get to the internet & work on documents/files on the desktop upstairs.Yesterday afternoon, while nobody was working on it, it suddenly attempted to restart. Just a quirk that I thought wouldn't matter. Wrong it is now stuck in a never-ending cycle of restarting compaq intro screen, then windows startup screen, then an extremely quick blue screen that flashes too quickly for me to even see what it's saying, then restarts all over.I've tried all various ways to start in setup (safe mode, safe mode w/ networking, etc), all different options produce the same result.Since it was given to me on a whim so many years ago, I don't have the install CD, nor do I have a boot disk for it. According to what I've found, I need the CD to create a win2K boot disk.

I turned on my computer and everything was fine, but realized husband had unplugged the dsl last night due to possible incoming storms. So I replugged in the dsl and as usual when this happens have to reboot my computer to get it to realize its there. So I went to start ..shut down..restart and did it. And it never came back. After about 5 min of it just sitting there I went ahead and pushed in the restart button on the machine. It makes its usual start up noise and the lights all come on except now there is a strange clicking noise I do not recognize and the cd rom seems to hang a bit, then the lights go off (as usual) except for the power light. But nothing comes up on the screen and no sounds are to be heard from the speakers. I now shut it all down and let it sit for about 20 min then retry still nothing. So I open the case up and check all the wires and with a can of air blow away any dust.

When I turn on my computer, it starts up like it's supposed to. Then, when it comes to the Windows XP loading page (you know, the one with the bar scrolling underneath it), it suddenly goes to a Blue Screen of Death for a straight millisecond, then reboots again. Then my computer gives me 5 options. I could load Windows at the previous settings that worked, load Windows normally, and there were three other options that involved loading Windows in safe mode. I've tried all five. All five result in the computer rebooting itself again. There was a timer below for 20 seconds for me to choose an option, so I doubt that it's a worm causing this problem.My antivirus is up-to-date and I do regular scans. I have a firewall.
It couldn't have been a power surge, because I have a power strip on the computer, and it says that it's protected. And, before all of this was happening (a few minutes before), my computer was acting normally. There wasn't anything funky going on, so I doubt that my hard drive was dead.

I'm trying to rebuild a pair of old 'dead' computers that had WinXP preinstalled on them.
They have the COA Lic. Stickers on the cases, but the old HD's, Mobo's, etc, are toast.
When I finish with all new bits inside, will I have to call MS & try to get their 'approval' to be 'Genuine'?
Will this be a major PITA ?
Is it worth doing ?

Alright the Problem is, when I start the computer the key board and mouse are working just fine both showing lights and I can access the boot menu and everything through the key board. But when windows boots up both the mouse and the keyboard go dead, and there is nothing I can do besides looking at the User Login Screen as I can not use ether my mouse or keyboard.

Dell Insprion 1200 laptop has a frozen touchpad pointer. I know this isn't the most desirable computer but she only uses for e-bay and e-mails. It was in the shop a couple of weeks ago to have the AC plug in the back of the computer changed. It seemed to work fine for a couple of days before the pointer froze. I've turned it off and unplugged the battery and AC cord, reinstalled both and turned on, pointer still frozen. I tried Fn + F9; still didn't work. I also tried system restore and it still doesn't work.

compaq computer has bit the dust and I'm building her a new one. Her original 20GB harddrive won't boot up in the new system....it gets to where the XP colored window flashes, goes to a blue screen of death screen, but that blinks out so quickly that I can't read it or pause it, and the computer reboots itself. It won't boot into safemode either. thought the harddrive was dead since I could hear it click at that point

My laptop won't even turn on. It's a Dell 700m just purchased 2 years ago. It is in mint condition and even with the charger plugged in, it won't turn on. I held the button down over 3 minutes and nothing yet. Took battery off, waited a few then still nothing.It looks like a dead HD?

Recently took some hits on my Compaq Presario 7478 system. Got two or three nasties via the 'Net. After McAfee's virus scan and removal, began experiencing weird happenings, such as system closing down and restarting. Then just not starting. Tried a few remedies [probably inadvisedly], and finally the system seemed to hang on my restore at the same place repeatedly.Ultimately the system could no longer establish my OS. Restore failed.
Bottom line: Could not invoke computer restore. Could do nothing with this computer.Q... Being compaq is the BIOS set to a certain condition that would prevent my reformatting the hard drive and restablishing an OS? Is this an option I can override? If I were to piggy-back the existing hard drive onto an operating hard-drive and reformat would that solve this problem and permit me to then create or repair the hard drive subsequently to get my compaq back?

My hard drive died on me recently. I bought a new one, put the jumper on master and put the dead hard drive on slave hoping to retrieve the files that were stored on it, but my computer won't recognize it. I checked the cable connections and they seem to be fine. When I put another good hard drive on slave the computer does recognize it. Could I still somehow retreive the files from the old hard drives or did I lose them for good?
