Equium P200 - Using Synaptics Pointing Device - keeps minimising my screen

Just bought the laptop so all the devices should be up to date.
The touchpad uses the Synaptics pointing device and it often closes my screen or minimises it when I'm using it whether it be in my email account or online.
Not sure if relevant but got Vista installed. Have tried to look this fault up but no luck so far. Any help would be gatefully appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

If you have bought your laptop few days ago the first thing you should do is to check all relevant settings and see how that tochpad works. You will see that touchpad has many different settings and I am pretty sure you use accidentally some of them.
There is definitely no fault. I have the same notebook model and have no this fault. Maybe you should disable tap zones.

Synaptics Pointting device Driver installs on an Desktop machine while deploying Windows 7X64 using MDT 2013 Update 1

I am deploying Windows 7X64 on Dell OptiPlex 990 and other desktops. Deployment goes fine but the Synaptics pointing device driver gets installed after the deployment is complete. Also after applying operating system I get a prompt to Run the Synaptics Pointing
Driver setup twice. If I don't click yes to install the TS wont proceed. Its gets worse when I uninstall the Synaptics Device Driver from Appwiz.Cpl and reboot the machine the Keyboard fails with the error Code:29. Above is the screenshot of what I get after
Applying Operating System step. Thanks in Advance.

I have also encountered this in MDT 2013 Lite Touch deployments for Windows 8.1 and I am researching it.
I noted that the Synaptics driver was installed for "SmBus" in Device Manager for a motherboard with an Intel 7 Cxxx Series chipset (Dell Optiplex desktop). The HardwareID's are all PCI\VEN8086...
We use %Model% in our task sequence and have a folder for each model such as "Optiplex 7010" in Out-of-Box Drivers.

Synaptics pointing device driver not supported

I have a Toshiba C55D-A5392 which was recently "upgraded" by Microsoft to Windows 10. I cannot adjust the "tap or hover over the touchpad" to defeat it from sending a left click. I always removed that "feature" with all previous versions of Windows. When I try to adjust parameters on the Control panel, i only adjusts a few. Ther'e's a link to "more adjustments" but when I click the, I momentarily get the usual presentation for all adjustments, but within a few seconds I get a message that the driver is incompatible with extensions used by the operating system. Will there be a driver for the Synaptics touch pad used in my computer. It's a real pain right now to use. Thanks for any input.

Toshiba does not have a Win 10 Synaptics driver for your model. None of us have any idea what their future plans are in that regard. You might see if Synaptics can help you.

Hp Pavilion dv7, synaptics pointing device not scrolling after windows 10

After upgrading to windows 10 my mouse will not scroll. I have updated the driver, no help. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, no help. I rolled back the driver, no help, I reupdated the driver no help, I deleted the whole synaptics system and redownloaded it from their website no help, reupdate the driver again, no help. I then went on to live help....the technician did an update again....no help. I went onto live help again and technician did a system clean/repair from the command prompt, no help (I then gave up with live help) and yes the vertical scrolling option is ticked in the settings. PLEASE can someone help me.

You don't need to be in Windows to mark the D:\Recovery partition Active. Just boot with a utility cd with the disk management capability. If you don't have one_Scroll down on the page and get>> Bootable CD If you don't have a burning app that can burn an ISO to cd get>> ImgBurn to burn the iso image to cd-a guide on using ImgBurn to write an ISO to a disc is> Here. Once created, boot from it.
Btw-have you tried booting from his Vista Recovery DVD? With the first disc in the CD/DVD drive power on the laptop and immediately tap Esc to bring up the menu. Then tap F9 Boot options. Use the arrow key to move down & highlight the Optical drive then tap Enter key. (No key is needed with Recovery DVDs)

U550 Synaptics Pointing Device Issue

Something has happened to the Synaptics that it is not being recognized or responding. I can still use the touchpad to move the mouse and click on stuff but I can not use it for zooming or scrolling.
Can someone please help me in figuring out what needs to be done so it will work again properly.
Also on a different note when I use the Fn key to adjust brightness or volume, there is no green meter/bar thing that shows up so I can see what level it is at. Why would this stop working?

Synaptics Pointing Device two finger scrolling randomly fails in Firefox 4 RC

I have an HP Envy laptop with a multitouch pad that uses two-finger scrolling gestures. In Firefox 4 RC, this gesture stops working from time to time. I do not believe the touchpad drivers are at fault, since gestures continue to work in other applications and I have restarted the device to no avail. Restarting firefox clears the problem. I did not have this problem in Firefox 3.6.x.

Partial Solution!
I have determined the cause of this problem (though I can't be sure it is the only cause of the problem.) If there is a .pdf file open in any tab, two finger scrolling stops working except for that tab. Closing the tab also solves the problem.
However, this just means that I have a more specific bug to report, then, that the scrolling gestures do not function properly when a .pdf is open (with Acrobat viewer) in any tab.

Pointing device for iPhone

I am a quadriplegic and can't move or feel through my fingers. I use a pointing device over my index finder to type etc. As you know the iPhone only recognises a finger for screen control. Can anyone tell me if it recognises any other material besides skin that it will respond to? Perhaps I can put it at the end of my pointing device.

Conductive foam -- like the kind that static-sensitive IC chips have their pins pushed into for shipping -- will work as long as it somehow makes contact with your skin.
I stuffed some in the tip of an empty ballpoint pen tube that's attached to a wire that wrapped around the pen's body. It works great for iPad and iPhone.

Is the Equium P200-1ED capable of powering USB devices connected to it?

(1) Possibly related to my previous question is anyone able to confirm whether the Toshiba Equium P200-1ED is able to power external devices connected to it via its USB ports?
(2) Can all 6 USB ports be used to simultaneously power 6 external USB devices?
What is wrong?
Please advise.

I presume you ask again for the advice related to this question:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=115026#115026
From my knowledge all USB ports supports the USB standard and provides 500mA.
But sometimes an USB device needs more as 500mA and then you will have to use an external power supply for the USB device.
Sometimes its advisable to use an USB hub which supports an own power supply.
> (2) Can all 6 USB ports be used to simultaneously power 6 external USB devices?
As I said, possibly some 3rd external USB devices would need more as 500mA and in such case you should use an external power supply for the USB devices.

Right click 'computer' in your PC/laptop (whichever). Click 'Manage', then 'Services and Applications', then 'Services', you should see 'Apple Mobile Device' running or stopped. If you couldn't find 'Apple Mobile Device', it means you haven't download iTunes into your PC/laptop (whichever).

Hi there, can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac Mini? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? Thanks in advance, Grtz T.

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac mini i7 using an Apogee jam as an input for bass and a Behringer USB DAC with RCA audio output? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? I'm also suffering massive audio lag issues with the Apogee jam after waking the mini from sleepmode, wich pretty much renders it useless.
Thanks in advance,
Grtz T.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Hi i'm new here, i wanna ask about supercell game Clash of Clans, i think someone hacked my village.
Yesterday i used my dad's phone which is Android to play coc, since then someone from another device keep playing and even taking gems, i've tried to log out and even change my gmail account, but it's not working, what should i do?

That is priceless!!! Thanks! I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement. Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close: 0xc18a0201. Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100. I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years! I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day! To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink. And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!! Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
Anyway I really loved your essay! It's a classic! And says it all! I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

Equium P200-1ED Installing Windows XP Problem - SATA Drivers

I have just bought a Toshiba Equium P200-1ED laptop with Vista installed and want to install my copy of Windows XP Pro. This is the latest disc with SP2 included.
When I boot up it does not recognise the hard drive. I assume I need to download these drivers and load them onto a floppy and hit F6 when the windows setup screen prompts me to do so.
Questions are;
1) Where can I get these drivers from?
2) Will the machine recognise a USB floppy Drive?
3) Am I right about what I need to do?
Thanks in advance for your help. :8}

How to install XP Home on the following Vista laptop. 05/01/08
Toshiba Equium A200-1V0 PSAF5E
Introduction
These are the steps taken by us to remove Vista from our Toshiba laptop and replace it with XP Home. There may be inconsistencies in our methods and we may not have all of the exact drivers installed, but everything appears to work OK for us.
Our laptop now runs much faster, opens and closes faster and is more stable.
This is not a 5 minute operation. It should not be attempted by anyone with only a passing knowledge of computers as it is very easy to screw things up. The shop you bought your PC from will charge a lot to fix things and they will probably insist on re-installing Vista!!.
Be prepared that this will also probably invalidate your warranty.
Luckily, I have a 2nd PC running XP that allows me to access the web. This is very useful as it means that while your Vista machine is 'broken' you can still search for help and download driver files. I also used my 2nd PC to create the modified XP installation CD mentioned further on.
You must have access to the web via some PC or other to get the required drivers.
Method
Firstly, while you still have Vista on your laptop machine, download and run an interrogation program such as 'Belarc advisor' which will list all the drivers and software that are installed on your laptop. Print it out for future reference.This may be useful later when searching on the web for any drivers that may need updating.
Now, make sure you have noted down all the required settings for your Internet connection.
Also, backup any files that you may have placed on the hard drive as you will lose the lot including any emails and address books and web favourites etc.
Unfortunately, the Toshiba disc that comes with this laptop does not appear to have any of the required drivers with it. Instead, I think that it relies on Vista keeping copies on your hard drive. This is not very bright as when the hard drive fails you have lost everything!
This therefore means that you have to go on the web and search for all the required drivers to run XP successfully.
Some we could not find, for example the Wireless network adapter, however this was no problem as once we had installed XP and connected to the web via the Ethernet cable to our Router we were able to run 'Update Driver' for each item missing.
Go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
The ones we did this way were: Wireless adapter, Audio adapter.
Unfortunately an original XP SP2 CD does not contain the required drivers for this laptop. Therefore when you boot the CD it will, after a few minutes of installing files, say that you have a hardware problem as there are no drives present.
To rectify this, you will need to download the correct Intel ICH8M SATA AHCI Controller drivers. I couldn't find this on the Intel website, but instead searched on Google for it. and got it from: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=2101
The other required drivers that we found on the web were:
Intel chipset device software installer
Web page
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=816&DwnldID=14528 &strOSs=45&OSFullName=Windows* XP Home Edition&lang=eng
Or if this link doesn't work try this:
http://support.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-021273.htm
Select 'Download Intel chipset software installation utility' on the left hand side and select your operating system 'XP Home'
Select 'INF Update Utility - primarily for Intel 3, 900 series chipsets'
and download it.
Intel graphics driver: Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset
Web page
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=N&ProductID=2800&DwnldID=1438 8&strOSs=45&OSFullName=Windows*%20XP%20Home%20Edit ion&lang=eng
Or if this link doesn't work try this:
http://support.intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/
Now select 'software and drivers' on the left hand side and select your operating system 'XP Home'
You will be presented with a list of files.
Select Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Windows* XP (exe)
and download it.
Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
Web page
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverDisplay.do?dId=175
Or if this link doesn't work try this:
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do?reload=false
On the right hand side, select 'W2000/ XP/2003/Vista x86 & x64 Multi-Language Installer (32-bit and 64-bit) for Yukon Devices'
Creating the XP Drivers disc
Add the SATA drivers to a copy of your XP install CD using a program such as NLite.
You will need enough spare hard drive memory to take a copy of your XP install CD (approx 700MB).
Run the program 'sp37005.exe' and it will install to your hard drive. Don't install to a floppy.
Download 'NLite' from: http://www.nliteos.com/download.html
When you run NLite it will probably say that you need to install '.net Framework', if so, quit NLite and go and find the program. This is a Microsoft program that you can find by searching on Google for the relevant page on the Microsoft website.
Now place your XP install disc in your CD drive, if it autoruns, exit it.
Then run Nlite and follow on screen instructions.
The program will ask where your XP disc is then it will ask where you want to save the copy.
On the 'Task selection' screen select 'Drivers' and 'Bootable ISO'. then press 'Next'.
Now select 'Insert' then 'Multiple Driver folder' and go and find your downloaded SATA driver files. Now select 'All' and 'OK. The program will list the available SATA drivers. Only select the two that mention 'ICH8M'. Now press 'Next'. The screen will show the selected drivers. Press 'Next' again and then 'Yes' to the prompt, and then 'Next' when done
You are now presented with the 'Bootable ISO' screen.
Put a new burnable CD in your CD writer, wait for it to be recognised and exit any window that might pop up to allow you to install files
Now, in Nlite, under 'Mode' select 'Direct Burn'
Under 'Label' enter something like ' XP for Toshiba Equium A200' to identify the disc.
Leave Advanced settings alone and now add in the other required drivers by clicking explore and copying them to the root directory of the temporary XP directory on your hard disc. It might be best to create a 'Drivers' folder in the root directory to make them easy to find later.
Now click the 'Burn' button. Now follow the rest of the instructions to complete.
You have now created an XP install disc which contains your required SATA drivers.
-As you can tell, this is quite convuluted but avoids you having to buy a USB floppy drive and it provides a neat solution.
Hasta La Vista!!
Now you are ready to begin the cleansing process, if you are brave enough to continue....
Firstly, re-boot your laptop and while booting press F12 to change the boot order so that the DVD/CD ROM is first. Alternatively use F2 and then change the Boot order from there.
Now insert your new XP install disc in the DVD/CD drive and re-boot the PC, selecting boot from CD when prompted.
The XP CD will now start copying files and eventually will display an options screen
Select to install Windows.
Then delete the C: hard drive partition (with Vista on)
Delete the F drive partition used by Vista also.
You will have to follow lots of warning prompts to delete the partitions.
Now follow the instructions to create an NTFS partition on the C drive.
Now install XP as instructed.
Don't worry that the graphics are a bit chunky as once Windows has finished installing you can run the graphics driver you copied to the the XP CD to correct this.
Run the three driver files:
win2k_xp14311.exe Intel graphics driver
infinst_autol.exe Intel chipset software installation utility'
setup.exe Marvell Yukon Ethernet Driver
Your graphics should now improve and you should now be able to connect to the web (after running the web setup wizard). But don't do this until you have installed your Antivirus and Firewall software.
Now go to 'Device Manager' via 'Control Panel' then 'System' then 'Hardware'. Then look for any yellow question marks for any problems. Right click and run 'Update Driver' for the hardware update wizard and allow the PC to look on the web 'this time only'.
Hopefully, everything should now run OK.
Now go and have a drink to celebrate!

USB ADSL Modem fails to install on Equium P200-1ED

I have a Toshiba Equium P200-1ED; Model Number# PSPB5E-003004KS.
I wish to use my Thomson SpeedTouch 330 - a USB bus powered USB ADSL modem - to my Toshiba Equium P200-1ED and have downloaded Release 4.1 of the Windows Vista driver from this web-page:
http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=471
... however when the Vista modem driver is executed, the software fails to recognise the Thomson SpeedTouch 330 ADSL modem when the driver software prompts me to connect the modem.
The Thomson SpeedTouch 330 ADSL modem works perfectly when used with my old Toshiba/XP laptop (which was how I downloaded the Vista driver for the modem for the Equium).
What is wrong?

Problem Solved!
Un-installing all USB modem device drivers, disconnecting all USB devices and removing all USB host controllers and hubs from the Vista device manager and then rebooting the notebook MADE NO DIFFERENCE.
However when I received the new Thomson SpeedTouch 330 USB ADSL modem drivers on CD-ROM from the manufacturer the modem installed immediately.
I can only assume that there is a problem with the download of Release 4.1 of the Windows Vista driver for the SpeedTouch 330 from this web-page:
http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=471
... as the drivers on the CD-ROM from Thomson work - but their web download of the driver for the SpeedTouch does not.
The problem was with the driver for Windows Vista - the laptop and modem now work correctly - as they should have done at the first installation attempt!
Thanks for your help.

Equium P200-1ED: Windows randomly max & min and refusing to close

I have an Equium P200-1ED which I biought recently and Vista keeps doing strange things with open windows.
When trying to scroll a window, click a link or perform any action with a window then the window can randomly Maximize or minimize. Also when trying to close a window it will often just 'boing' at me for 3 or 4 times after clicking the 'X' and then close.
This doesn't happen on my other vista machine so i am assuming its an issue with this one.

I have managed to solve this problem.
It is caused by the synaptics touch pad software that causes it.
It is the tap zones that are much too large and interfere with operations you want to do. They seem to be set by default to change the size of the window.
So if you move the cursor upto the top right and you finger is at the top right of the pad when you tap it instead of hitting the close button it tries to do whatever is assigned to top right.
I've basically disabled the touch zones and it's behaving fine.

Equium P200-1IR - Wireless is connected but cannot access the internet

Hi ya,
Need a little help!!
I have just bought an Equium P200-1IR.
I have turned the wi fi on.
I can see my router which is Talk Talk.
I can get the laptop to connect to the router and it says that I am connected,
however I cannot access the internet.
I tried the same process by inserting a wi fi dongle into the USB port
on the laptop and exactly the same happens.
We have other computers in the house that connect to the router and internet
ok using the wireless dongle.
I have plugged a hard wire connection from the laptop to the router and I can
access the internet immediately with no problems, however would love
to use the wireless feature.
Any help really appreciated....Thanks
Waynec

Do you use the right channel and right encryption settings?
This should be checked!
It should be able to change the WLan channels in device manager -> WLan card -> Properties -> Advanced tab
But I would also recommend disabling the encryption and password in router settings and to connect to Open Wlan of course this should be done only for testing purposes if the notebook would be able to connect to the open router, then this would mean that you used a wrong password.
How about WLan driver update? Did you update the WLan driver? If not do that!
