HP Nbook touchpad leaps to the Windows 8 "home" screen w/ slightest motion - need advice

I am getting so weary of this.  I hardly touch the mousepad to do a normal movement and I am hijacked to the Windows 8 home screen and must frequently press the "window pane" key to get back.  Is there a setting I have somehow missed.  My mouse settings are just as I had originally set them but I am still dealing with this.  Any help out there?

Hello rudiger,
You’re having a problem with the screen jumping back to the windows 8 home screen.
This is actually and new feature that Microsoft thought of, to help people multitask.
Go to the start screen and type synaptic. (When you are on the start screen as soon as you begin to type it will bring up a search box.)
On the right had side select settings.
On the left hand side choose settings.
Uncheck the box that says enable edge swipe.
This will make it where the mouse will not scroll between programs.
Clicking the White Kudos star on the left is a way to say Thanks!
Let me know how everything goes.
Have a good day.

  • Todays update! After todays update I can no longer send Safari or Spotify to the task bar without it cutting out (dropping audio in and out). Streams normally if I keep the window open on my desktop. This needs to be fixed immediately.

    To fix your issue is too complicated and lengthy to go into all of it here, it will require the services of person very familiar and experienced with Mac's to first recover your data and then restore OS X back to a functional state, then hopefully achieve the goals you were attempting.
    I advise you hire the services of a local Mac computer support technician experienced in these matters.
    Have them look at your Wifi and computer backup proceedures in the process.
    Good Luck.

  • What is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0

    what is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0?
    enterprise or standard? can I install it on datacenter?
    please provide me with the reference.
    thanks

    Workflow Manager will work with either SharePoint Enterprise or Standard.  It doesn't work well with Foundations since it depends on User Profiles to pass user identity to the workflow.  And yes you can install it on Windows Server datacenter edition.
     Here are the supported platforms for installation
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193487(v=azure.10).aspx
    This article talks about integration with SharePoint and states that Foundation is not supported, but it doesn't differentiate between the Server editions, so any edition will do.

  • Anyone have the Windows 7 Home Premium x32 upgrade disc

    Hi.  I have an upgrade disc....but I have the incorrect one for my system.   It is an upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium x64.   I need Windows 7 Home Premium x32 upgrade.    I'm hoping to find someone with the proper disc for my system.  Lenovo said that's the only way I can upgrade now that the program has ended.  Anyone out there still have an upgrade disc? I will pay for mailing and live in GA.  If someone else missed the upgrade prgram and can use the disc I have let me know.
    Thanks,

    HankT,
    When asking a question with undeclared statements, you make it more difficult. Do you have a link for your references concerning an need to upgrade the BIOS. On the webpage BN listed, there is no BIOS update.
    I have an HPm8100e CTO, M2N68LA Narra2 board. You have the Narra3 board. The in-place upgrade (abeit it was Ultimate) was successfully completed. The only hick-ups were re-install of a few games, and new printer drivers. (I had 2 printers on that machine).

    To say THANK YOU, press the "thumbs up symbol" to render a KUDO. Please click Accept as Solution, if your problem is solved. You can render both Solution and KUDO.
    The Law of Effect states that positive reinforcement increases the probability of a behavior being repeated. (B.F.Skinner). You toss me KUDO and/or Solution, and I perform better.

  • Anybody using the Windows 8 Start screen?

    My original question was: Can we place bundle icons on the Windows 8 Start screen, alongside those "Modern/Metro" Windows apps?
    But then I figured I should back up and ask whether anyone with a large ZCM deployment is even presenting the new Windows 8 Start screen to their users.
    If you've deployed Windows 8, I'd love to hear your feedback.

    I have test units that I am working with. I have had none of my current Start Menu apps showing up. This has been a minor item on my list of things to work with so I haven't investigated possible causes or if this is even supported. Honestly in my environment I would love to be able to push the older start menu/Desktop style and skip Metro. My teachers are going to freak when they start to use this new style. I had a hard time with the Windows 7 changes with some of the staff. My staff has a real hard time with change so Windows 8 is going to be a hard sell.
    What type of devices are you looking at for Windows 8? I have been looking at whether I need to be looking for touch based Laptops or move to a more Tablet with a keyboard type environment.

  • Restarts at the windows vista home premium page

    Im have a concern with my laptop. during the boot up process it goes through its normal functions until it gets to the windows vista home premium screen. Until once its done loading that screen my computer will automatically restart itself. and it will continue to do this everlasting loop of restarting itself once at that particular screen. has anyone experienced this problem or have any advice on how to fix it? your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Okay we need some information first
    What are the product number and Model number off the bottom of your Notebook?
    When did the issue begin?
    Did you add any hardware or software?
    Can you boot into the BIOS by tapping the "f10" key while booting up?
    If so what is your BIOS version?
    while in there go to the Diagnostic tab and run the hard-drive diag, it will run a short one then a long one.
    we'll go from there, good luck

  • Is the left-hand Home screen reserved for TV and movies?

    As familiar as I thought I was with Android (via my phones) I thought I would've figure out by now how to get this screen back for other uses. But so far no luck.  Is 1//3 of my available Home screen space really reserved for TV and Movies (and, at that, apparently only the ones downloaded from Google Play)?

    Ann154,
    Bingo! You were absolutely right! And now that widget is gone.
    Unfortunately, so is the screen it was occupying. Now,  instead of three screens I have but two - - the original center screen and the one that had previously been the right-hand screen.
    Which prompts the question of how and where pages are added or deleted from the home screens.

    I think there's a problem with the update server. Try again later.

  • How do I pin a firefox site to the Windows 8 start screen?

    I just got a new AIO with windows 8; not may favorite thing but I'm learning.
    I use Firefox as my browser exclusively but Window 8 help, of course, won't explain how to pin sites through other browsers. I had to set up my desktop on my start screen so I can open Firefox from there and then I can start browsing with Firefox - but there has to be an easier way....I've tried to search through the Firefox support but I'm an accountant, not a techie and this is getting very frustrating. lol I hope someone can explain to me how to do this. And in very small words please - remember I'm bean-counter. :)
    Thanks y'all.

    jscher2000 - thanks for a really fast response!
    Your links got me to get to clicking on other related links and I did find a site that was very easy to follow so I'm adding it here for you to give to others; has illustrations and''''' very''''' easy to follow instructions. Perfect to someone like me. I wouldn't have found it without you getting me started though.
    Thanks!!!

  • The Windows 7 Black Screen Issue

    I am putting in Bootcamp with a Windows 7 install. I checked these forums and made sure I had all my prep work done.
    I referenced article TS3173 and downloaded the neccessary drivers for 7, formatted a 16GB SD Card as FAT Bootable and copied the drivers and autounattend.xml files onto the root of the drive.
    THe installation as going as planned but at the end I'm still ending up with a black screen. Windows is installed ok but on the restart after" Preparing for FIrst Use" comes up the screen goes black.
    Obviously, the drivers are not being installed from the SD card, I tried it on a USB External driver as well. Am I missing something here? I read every post I could find on it and I can't see where I am doing anything incorrectly.
    Thanks
    Tom

    You don't need Paragon or another NTFS driver. That may work (I've used it, but I was using a full hard drive anyway to begin with).

    The Windows 7 installer does not include required graphics or Bluetooth drivers for this computer. To obtain the necessary drivers and resolve the issue, see this article (creating the SD card and drivers for the "black screen" issue).
