HP Probook Mousepad Issues

I am facing issues with my HP Probook mouse pad. The cursor freezed, shows scroller next to the cursor, moves to the opposite direction or underised direction. Please suggest if this is a hardware issue and ways to fix this issue asap. I had to struggle a lot when writing this post using the same laptop. Thank you. 

Nevermind.. i somehow fixed the issue by choosing normal startup under msconfig... man that was weird ...

  • HP Probook 430 mousepad issue

    I'm having issues with the mousepad with several Probook 430. What happens is that after å while the mousepad gets choppy in the vertical direction. If i go in to the synaptics driver and reset, the problem disapears for a while. It also disapears while i hold down one of the mouse keys.
    I have tried to update mouse driver and bios without luck. I've been in contact with HP support, they have changed motherboard and mousepad on one of the computers, but the issue still remains.

    OK, found some kind of solution:
    in battery & power saving settings there is setting for CPU maximum state. If set on 70%, then I got desirable frequencies.

  • Mousepad Issues on Macbook Pro

    I have a Macbook Pro with the latest OS LION 10.7.3
    The problem is with my mousepad. Sometimes the mousepad hangs on to certain elements on the screen and highlights things unnecessarily, and will also not be responsive. It also has trouble scrolling up and down the page, it will bring up the menu instead. All in all this is a recent issue. I'm thinking the mousepad is getting older, but if anyone has a suggestion, please let me know, because its extremely iratating to work with.
    Thanks,

    I just signed up for the Photoshop / Lightroom monthly subscription... and downloaded the Adobe desktop app for both my desktop and laptop Mac machines.  All went smoothly but I also am having issue that it is not recognizing that I have paid for usage.  It asked if I wanted the trial, and as I had work needing to be completed I did accept that as a last resort so I could complete it.  But, now that I have had time to go back and investigate... I have checked my account, re-downloaded everything and still is not working under subscription.  What a waste of a month!  Yeah, it is only $10 but hey... I expected more.
    The reason for my monthly purchase was because I had purchased Adobe Element 10 through the APP store several years ago and with clearing and rebuilding my computers it will not let me download the app that I paid for originally be cause now there is a new version... I was perfectly happy with the version I had for my needs which are less than high quality photo processing.  I feel like I am caught in a money grab.

  • Mousepad issues.

    First off, I really love this computer, even after spending hours getting used to Windows 8. There's only one issue: the mouse touch pad. Since the day I bought it, the touch pad has lagged a bit, even freezing up and being unresponsive for a moment or two. Sometimes it disappears all together, sometimes it just sits there unresponsive. Sometimes it begins moving again, or appears again on screen, or I have to manually restart my laptop. This is becoming more frequent and really beginning to become an issue while I'm doing school work.

    Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
    The issue may -- or may not -- be the mousepad settings.
    Depending on your particular MousePad setup, the following may be more or less useful -- not all MousePads have the same setups or the same level of flexibility when it comes to what they can do. 
    For example, on a high-performance system, MousePad might be a Super-Mouse and do all sorts of cool stuff.  On a Normal Notebook, Mouse might be more of an Accountant-Mouse:  good Mouse but not Super-Mouse with a Cape.
    So, take a look and see if there is something you can do with the settings on your MousePad:
    Using and Configuring the ClickPad
    Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad (Windows 8)
    ====================================================
    Commentary
    According to the standard Specification Sheet for this notebook,  the system is only carrying 4GB memory.  That is "enough", but not an abundance of RAM.   The wireless, network, disk, and the processor are adequate.  If you put any strain on the system, it is going to respond to that stress and slow down.
    This means you might want to conserve your resources when you use the computer to get the most from it.
    There are some things you can do to help your computer perform better for you.
    Windows 8.1 -- really starting with Windows 8 -- has this wonderful new Start Screen environment where everything you ever wanted at your fingertips is "right there" in bright, shiny, blinking Tiles.  The trouble with bright, shiny, blinking Tiles is that they use memory to keep them "active".  Active Tiles drain your computer of resources that you could be hoarding for other purposes.
    Take a look at your Start Screen:
    If you have "active" Tiles on the Screen that you can live without:  Right-Click >  Turn Live Tile Off 
    You can save resources on your Desktop by using a Plain background instead of a fancy backdrop.  That means if you are using your favorite photographs as a background, you might reconsider and save your photo gazing for your iPad.  Change the background to plain, boring, yukky, gray.
    You can also try this or perhaps a "custom" setting where you select "some of the settings"
    Windows key + y (Opens the System) >
    Advanced System Settings > Tab Advanced >
    Under Performance > Settings
    CHECK "Adjust for best performance"> OK
    ==========================================================
    If the system slows down at odd times, it may be slowing down because there is a program running that is dragging on the system.  You can take a look at the system and see what it is doing and which programs are running.
    Sometime perfectly innocent programs can "run amuck" and hang up -- Internet Explorer might be hung up on a Web Page, your email might get stuck,  Word  might take a nose dive.  The Task Manager and the Resource Monitor can track what is actually happening and how much memory and resource is being used.
    How to Use the New Task Manager in Windows 8
    NOTE:

  • Powerbook G4 rebuild mousepad issue

    I have just stripped down and replaced a HDD in a PBook G4. I work on PCs, (notebooks especially) all the time. I have previously replaced the LCD in this machine for the same client. This time I have come up with some fascinating problems.
    The mousepad works at a CD-Boot level, but once the OSX (10.2) is installed - it doesn't work. Any USB mouse works fast and fine. No mousepad! So, when installing OSX from the DVD-ROM it is fine. Anyone know how to get the driver on this to make it work?
    I have an upgrade disk set for OS-X 10.3 for this machine. It get to the white screen with the Apple in the center and then the apple splits in two and it hangs! No kidding!
    Often it will boot up, but just as often and just as frustrating, it will halt at the "Starting Directory Services" point. I have reinstalled OSX 3 times, so I know I qualify for Extreme Patience and Persistence Award.
    Any help on these three little issues would be appreciated.

    Did you try resetting the PMU?

  • MSI GE70 Keyboard/Mousepad issue

    Ok, So for example when i'm playing a game if I want to move using the 'WASD' Keys its fine, but as soon as I use the mousepad to direct where I'm going, the mousepad does nothing. It just freezes and works intermittently as I release keys and press different ones. Is this a simple fix or something more? I have done a quick search of the forums and found nothing! Cheers in advance!

    Touchpad doesn't work very well with FPS games.  Use a mouse.

  • Spacebar Plus Move Not Working

    I can hold the spacebar, and the hand tool comes up, but then can't move around when using my mousepad. I've noticed this problem in GIMP as well. Not sure what the issue is.

    Jaden,
    Will it work with a mouse? There have been reports of similar mousepad issues.

  • HP Probook 6450b Memory upgrade issue

    Hi All,
    I appear to be having a strange issue trying to upgrade the memory in a HP 6450b probook (i5-480m & ATI card). The laptop came with 2gb of p/n sps 598856-002 which is 1333mhz 1.5v ram with the manufacturer being ramaxel. I ordered and fitted a couple of 4gb kingston sticks
    http://h30094.www3.hp.com/product/sku/10473659/mfg​_partno/KTH-X3BS/4G
    Fitted them and all seemed to be well as the OS (win 7 32bit pro) showed the stick as 8gb recognised and 3gb usable, the bios also reports 8gb as well. However the moment a 64 bit OS (Linux or Windows) is attempted to be run the laptop just crashes or hangs
    I previously attempted this upgrade with two sticks of crucial memory but had exactly the same problem, so thinking the crucial memory was the issue I returned them to the supplier and ordered the kingstons instead.
    I have seen very similar issue noted here:
    http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/328016-30-memo​ry-upgrade-probook
    and
    http://superuser.com/questions/580512/hp-probook-6​450b-not-booting-after-memory-upgrade
    My gut instinct suggests this laptop may be very fussy about the memory chips, it may have to be a 16 chip 4gb stick as opposed to 8 chip 4gb sticks.
    Any thoughts and help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    This question was solved.

    You're very welcome.
    Glad the lower density memory worked for you, and now you know what to look for the next time you plan on upgrading the memory on any HP notebook made in the last 8 years or so.

  • HP Probook 4530s performance issues

    Hello,
    I bought a brand new Probook 4530s from a local dealer two days ago.
    The specs of the laptop are available via the following page: http://www.1a.ee/print/?id=12973969&leasing_first_pmt=0&leasing_term=12
    The system had preinstalled SUSE Linux 11 due to which I formatted the drive and installed Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. The issue that I have is to do with the fact that the computer is dead slow and it seems not to be charging. It does say charging and the led light on the left side is on, but no actual charging takes place (maybe 1% per hour).
    In my opinion it does have something to do with the optimization of the i5 2450m processor. The processor scored a miserable 3.8 in the Windows Experience Index test.
    Maybe it does have something to do with drivers or the lack thereof but I didn´t find anything besides the ones provided at HP´s page located at: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareIndex.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=5060882&...
    Any thoughts on how to make my laptop run like it should?

  • HP Probook 6560b Graphics Card issue

    Dear all,
    First off... sorry for the long story...
    Somebody has to explain this to me as I do not know what is going on.
    I have a Probook 6560b laptop which has a AMD Radeon HD 7400M series graphics card. 
    Last saturday while I was messing around in Windows 8.1 Pro my screen suddenly went crazy. It looked like the screen you see on hacked computers in the movies. Everywhere pixelated.
    I thought nothing of it and did a hard reboot. Laptop worked afterwards no problem.
    Monday going to work my laptop screen started to go crazy again. I could not understand what was the issue. Everywhere pixels going from left to right and back and forth. 
    Then it happened. Blue Screen Of Death with the error : VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE. 
    I shut down my computer. Waited for a couple of seconds and turned it on. Screen was not working. Not even the bootloader with the HP logo wasn't showing. 
    I disconnected the charger, pulled out the battery and pressed the on off button for about a minute. Placed the battery back, turned the laptop on and screen got back.
    But this was the beginning of many pixel error and frustration. Long story short (as up till now it has been a short story) screen did not come back on again and windows gave me a BSOD with error message VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE.
    At this point I was convinced it was an hardware issue. I am guilty of playing games which gives a heavy load on the GPU. 
    When I connect an external monitor to my laptop I could see the screen but windows still gave BSOD.
    Logged into safe mode... made a backup and installed windows 8.1 again. Aha everything was working... now ready to install the drivers...
    The moment I installed the GPU drivers again BSOD with VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE. This is an hardware issue... I gave up fixing it... logged in safe mode... set the drivers to work with the normal display adapter. 
    So I was now working with a laptop screen that wasn't working... and a external screen hooked up to my laptop. I was looking to replace the chip on my laptop (which is 216-0809024 for those who are interested).
    I know what you're thinking... It's an hardware issue... you know what the problem is ... go fix it...
    Now comes the weird part:
    Today I installed a couple of software on my laptop and it needed to reboot. So I said yes and the laptop was rebooting... Suddenly the screen of my laptop turned on and showed everything like it was normal. 
    Already given up on the chip I figured this must be a fluke... so I did a shut down... and started my laptop again... 
    Laptop screen was working...
    *scratching my head at this point
    So then I thought what would happen if I install the drivers... So I installed the drivers...
    Laptop screen was still working...
    *still scratching my head...
    I have to shut down and reboot the computer... the GPU must be going crazy... So laptop shut down and reboot...
    Laptop screen was still working...
    *still scratching my head...
    Installed 3D Benchmark... to see what is going on... All test at 60 FPS...
    The GPU is working again and screen is working...
    I have no clue what is going on and no clue how this can happen... After 3 days of not having a working GPU I suddenly have a perfectly fine GPU...
    So I had to come with my story and had to ask someone... what the f???
    Can someone explain this to me?
    Sorry for the long story...

    After working for about 5 hours straight with no errors...
    Screen died on me again... Funny thing was that it did not die on me while testing the gpu...
    It died on me when I was remotely connected with another laptop using RealVNC...

  • HP Probook 4540s - Windows 8.1 - Battery issues - Closing unexpectedly

    Hello,
    I have a 1 year old HP Probook 4540s that recently has the following problem.
    When unplugged the laptop suddenly shuts down even tough the battery shows 29% still remaining.
    I receive no notification from Windows or anything, it just shut downs like when the battery reaches 0%.
    Then in order to start it again, I need to plug it in.
    Is this a known issue ? I previously didn't have any battery problems and running the HP Assistant informs me that the battery is ok and it doesn't need replacemants.
    Any idea how to fix this issue ? Basically the laptop is dead at 28%-29% battery life.
    Thanks.

  • Hp probook 5310m unicast issue

    Hi Folks, we have just received a batch of HP probook 5310m and have encountered a strange imaging problem.
    They can only seem to unicast one machine at a time. If you start unicasting another it will boot, load the imaging tool and begin to image, then it will stall and eventually fail with a time out.
    We are running zen 7 sp1 on netware. I have already updated the PXE files useing the Jan 2010 patch from Novell. Other machines on the netware are not experiencing this problem.
    The Probook has a Marvell Yukon 88e8072 Nic.
    Has anyone experience this problem before, or have any sugestions ?

    Nope, but here are some random thoughts...
    As an experiment, obtain the latest imaging ISO and try manually imaging ( Boot, Choose Manual, blah, blah, blah, use img command ... ) and see if you have same issue when two are being imaged. prior ti using the img command check the MAC address of the two machines with ifconfig / ethtool...
    My suspicion is that for some reason the MAC address / IP address is duplicated. Prior to running the imag command, each machine should have a distinct IP address - so ping from the ZCM server to the two workstations - simultaneously - to confirm this is not a comms issue. Ideally you will have some oddness when both machines are running, and be able to identify the cause.
    On the other hand, perhaps it works when done manually... in which case... ??? Then you need to inspect what happening via PXE.
    The other test would be to take a different model of machine and image it with the same ( wrong image for the machine, I know - but sometimes you gotta break some eggs ) just to see if the issue has something to do with the image file itself or some other creepy factor. You can always take the destroyed test machine and image it with the proper image when done to recoup it.

  • WLAN Card Issue Probook 4530s

    I hope you all can help with an issue I am having. I do IT support for a school that ordered a ton of HP Probook 4530s laptops.
    One of them has developed an issue. The user said that one day she had wifi and the next she simply didnt. I have ran every hardware and software test known to man. I have tried resetting the bios, I have tried un and reinstalling the drivers and the HP connection utility, I have tried EVERYTHING.
    The wireless device simply does not show up. Not as disabled, not even in device manager.
    I tried replacing it with the same model adapter and nothing changes.
    I tried replacing it with a different model adapter. After that, when I started the computer and an HP error message popped up that said something like "The adapter you have installed is not supported by this computer." I would press enter (I think) to continue and then it would start like normal. Once it started, Windows didn't recognize that device. Not as unknown hardware or anything else.
    Does this mean a bad motherboard? I just don't understand how the BIOS picked it up the replacement as an incompatible device but Windows wouldn't recognize it.
    Anybody have any suggestions?
    Computer is running Windows 7 Pro x64 and is joined onto a domain.

    Hi:
    You can only install a supported wireless card listed in the service manual and it must have the HP Part number on it or it will not work.
    The only suggestion I can offer is to make sure you have the connection manager software installed and see if you can turn the card on using that software.
    http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/S​oftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32​...
    I assume it is not something simple like the user inadvertently turned off the wireless button as shown in the illustration in chapter 2 on page 11, and identified on page 12?

  • Probook 4530s Fan issue

    my probook 4530s running windows 7 home premium core i3 was one year old in june 2013. I have started to notice that the fan makes a loud noise sometimes. It use to run continually before and pick up speed when I use to play heavy graphic games which i presume is normal. Now I have noticed that the fan does not work that often and my processor heats up to 82c (doing normal browsing) and then the fan comes on, that also in small bursts.
    My friend also has the same model probook, he purchased it a year before me and when his one year was up had the same issue and replaced his fan.
    Is the fan spoilt?  
    if I replace it should I use an non flawed brand, which brand?
    Appreciate your support.

    You can try to clean your fan or replace thermal grease or thermal pad on the CPU which is under teh heat sink.
    You can get the tehrmal grease from any computer store
