Frozen Touchpad - Uninstalled And Reinstalled The Touchpad
Feb 17, 2006
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
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
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.
I just got an insprion 6000 running and the touchpad has a mind of its own, not responding well at all. I've tried to adjust in control panel w/ no sucess.
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
when i rebooted my computer, the touchpad didnt work i went into the mouse drivers and i didnt see my touchpad installed Im thinking that a virus may have knocked out my touchpad driver
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
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'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
i just got me a toshiba laptop and i was wondering how i can disable the double tap feature on the touchpad cuz i always seem to double tap it by accident.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with wonderful touchpad, which I do not want to work because I have a wireless mouse. I cannot seem to find a way to turn the thing off.
i've been having problems with my touchpad since i've reformatted my computer. I no longer have the software that controls, and i've attempted to disable it and even delete the driver in Device Manager, but it just doesnt work. disabling this annoying component
I have a client who has a Dell Vostro 2510. I installed the Alps touchpad driver which on all my other laptops has a disable tapping feature, but for some reason that feature is not present for this laptop Am I using the wrong type of driver?
I have a Dell Latitude c800 XP Laptop. The touchpad is too sensitive, I have the sound set at maxium volume some videos/programs are good at maximum volume but others I can bearly hear.
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 can't enable virtual scrolling on my laptop Touchpad. The options are not "grayed" out in the control panel device settings, but when I try to click on the boxes, no check appears. The "Apply" button becomes active, too. I need to disable before virtual scrolling can be enabled
I hate service pack 3.All its done is take my Superduper 2 gig system and turn it into an 8088 xt system.Is there anyway to remove service pack 3, or do I need to do a complete and utter reboot and reinstall of Windows, including all the updates etc?And is there a way i can save the existing updates so that I won't have to download them all again? If I have to do a compelete reinstall, im looking at an 8 hour job or more.
this had happened to me a month or so back ....sometimes when im online for more than an hour....then when i try to open IE or anything else...nothing opens...i even tried opening the taskmanager but that too does not open.....nor does the start button...it only becomes ok when i restart the computer by hitting the reset button on the cpu...i had got rid of this problem for a while when i uninstalled NAV...i assumed the problem was with NAV...but the problem has started again.... i ran TDS 3 and it said that there were no trojans found. But it says i have to update it althought i have the latest update installed.
I recently had problems with IE8 so I Uninstalled and installed IE7. All my favorites are under my favorites folder: Document and settings/Dell/favorites.When I try to go to one of favorites it tries to print for some odd reason. All the favorites have the unknown file format picture with them. When I try to add a new bookmark it does the same thing. It adds it to my favorites but won't open the website. It's like the URL isn't there with the favorite. Please help this is a friends comp and he needs it tom for school.
I bought a new keyboard, and to install it I had to uninstall the old drivers (it was wireless, so is the new one.) After doing that and rebooting, it no longer picks up any keyboards once its in windows. It picks it fine in bios (and I can choose which OS to load.. I have fedora on a seperate HD, not the one I boot off of). This is true for every keyboard! Wireless or not! So I'm stumped.Either windows removed some file when uninstalling the last wireless software, or I donno what else it could be.Any ways I can this fixed? I was thinking if I bypass the password into windows then I can reinstall the drivers. I think a normal XP cd would work?
My Laptop XP Pro with SP3 is totally different to the same on my PC, where I upgraded the Sp's as they came out. So the format is different between the two.I wanted to un-install my laptops version and install the version downloaded from MS, but I don't have the option to do so in Add/Remove on the Laptop as I do on the PC. Its listed, but no option to remove/uninstall.Can I un-install this SP3 in the registry or anyother way or could I just install my version and overwrite the current SP3.
I tryed a firewall called Comodo. I was not impressed because I could not get it to allow alot of my apps access even after creating rules ect. I uninstalled it, which was a nightmare and took forever because their installer is bugged! anyway, I have gone through the Regedit and deleted all ref's to comodo, deleted the folders ect. Best as I can tell everythine has been removed. However I have programs, apps and games that used to access fine BEFORE installing Comodo that cant connect now! Should I do a reinstall of XP? or is there some other files that the firewall might of moded that can be replaced? Any thoughts or ideas? I have a post on the Comodo Forums, but after searching most of the day I have yet to find anyone with a problem like this after following the manuel uninstallation and I'm not to hopeful...

I have a hp pavillion dv4000 i bought 2 1/2 years ago and I ran a program the other day called window washer by webroot (spysweeper program) I checked boxes to clean everything and checked a box saying i wanted it cleaned i think 24 times which is what they claim the fbi uses a Guttman style cleaner. I let it run over night and the next day I got an error message System could not log you on. Make sure your Username and Domain are correct then type password again.
I tried everything including putting the recovery cd in the hp and then i put the xp disk and it went through a period where it looked like it was reinstalling and repairing it then it got all the way to the end and the screen popped up again. The mouse in frozen in the middle of the screen (the arrow)and the blinky straight line where you would type isn't moving even if i had a username and password to type I obviously don't normally handle these things but I am forced to this minute and i could REALLY use some help.
Here is a problem that I am having. It could just be because our computer needs to be upgraded a little bit but never know. So, I just reformated my computer a week ago tomorrow. Just got the sound working again on it and we have now noticed that there is something going on with the computer. Its not because of the sound or anything like that. Its been going on since reformat pretty much. It will freeze, but not in the general sense. It happens every so often. Probably 3 or 4 times a day. But when it freezes you are still able to move the mouse, music still plays, and everything continues working. You can switch between open programs and surf the web while it is "frozen". You can't open anything, but you can close somethings. Task Manager won't open and you can't close a non-responsive program when you hit End Now.
My norton antivirus kept pushing up warnings about mail not to go out.I tried to run a scan with norton antivirus and it kept locking up , so I uninstalled it and tried to reinstall it but it would not allow it to install.I uninstalled it again and downloaded rising antivirus and that froze up. I have a hp a530n 3200+ (2.00GHz) AMD Athlon 64 bit processor 1 GIG DDR SDRAM memory, Windows XP. I cannot access the tax program now . When I try system restore it just freezes up. I am not allowed in the help program. The computer is super slow in normal mode. I am running safe mode right now
