Middle button scrolling stopped working after Synaptics driver updates. (3rd gen, Windows 10)

It seems that the new driver released in 3/17/2015 by Synaptics has issues with middle button.
And it doesn't even list middle button in its panel. I can't find a proper feedback entrance on Synaptics' sites so I hope posting here would help. (Though considering a driver issue with Compact Bluetooth Keyboard doesn't get fixed in years, I don't think they would give a **bleep**. Oh why I am buying ThinkPad again!)

Same thing happened to me, but with an HP laptop. It seems that Windows 10 (at least, while in preview) does not allow you to disable automatic updates, and rolling back the driver (which solves the problem) won't help much - it will be installed again...
The only way I found how to prevent this particular update from installing is a set of PowerShell tools to control Windows Updates. I wrote about how to do it here: http://superuser.com/questions/901803/prevent-windows-10-from-installing-updating-a-specific-driver/...
Hope this helps!

  • Coldfusion 64 bit windows installer stops working after recent microsoft update

    Coldfusion 64 bit windows installation stops working after recent microsoft updates and how I worked around it.
    My question is at the end.
    Trying to deploy coldfusion 9 enterprise 64 bit trial  version onto a Windows 2003 64 bit datacenter OS with all OS updates from MS (as of 4-7-2011).
    Steps taken (remember, this is all 64 bit):
    1. Installed the base OS which was slipstreamed with SP2.
    2. Checked w/ microsoft and installed 63 OS updates.
    3. Launch the CF9 trial exe.
    4. As soon as the first screen finishes (the one that looks like  it is extracting files) then the second screen pops up (the one that  simply says CF Adobe Coldfusion 9) and the progress bar quickly moves  95% to the right and the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.
    5. After a moment of incredulous silence (and retrying/rebooting,  etc), I started to google it. I found nothing. However, I did find a  post (thanks dspent!) that was helpful in that it told how he was able  to get at a log file of sorts, by pre-extracting the  coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file and launching the adobe_cf.exe by hand.  (Dspent's install snafu was different than mine, but his post was very  valuable and got me started in the right direction.)
    6. Got a copy of rarunzipper and extracted the coldfusion_9_WWE_win64.exe file.
    7. From the windows directory created by step 6, I launched adobe_cf.exe.
    8. Same thing (the install application quits. No error, no nothing. No log file either.).
    9. I examine the hs_err_pidxxxx.log file (where the xxxx is a number).
    10. I see inside that file an ominous message: "A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime" then "Problematic frame ntdll.dll" and then "The crash happened outside the Java Virtual Machine in native code".
    11. OK, so now I am thinking ntdll.dll !! Native code !! It is like Java is telling me that for some reason it can't dance with the OS.
    12. On a hunch, I decided to test a CF install again on a server with just the base install of W3K3 64 SP2 (ie: skipping step 2 above this time).
    13. Bingo! That install works.
    14. Therefore, one of the 63 patches I had downloaded from MS had triggered a problem with the CF installer.
    15. Back on the first server (the one with the MS security  patches installed and the one that CF won't install on). In the CF file  adobe_cf.lax (one of the files extracted in step 6) there is a line that  mentions where the install gets it's java. Find that file, and check java version installer is using. It is using 1.6.0_14-b08.
    16. Off to the Java website, and there is a newer version of java (1.6.0_24-b07). Downloaded and installed it.
    17. Modify a line in adobe_cf.lax :
       before
         lax.nl.current.vm=resource\\jre\\bin\\java.exe
       after
         lax.nl.current.vm=C:\\program files\\java\\jre6\\bin\\java.exe
    (that assumes that you let step 16 install to the default location)
    Save the file.
    18. Run the install ... ** IT WORKS ** !
    Obviously, the built in java provided with the CF installer is  no longer compatible with some change introduced by some recent MS  update on the W2K3 64b SP2 platform.
    And now the interesting part. Although I forced the installer to used the new java, it did not incorporate it into the cf build (ie: in jvm.config, you still see c:/coldfusion9/runtime/jre AND the  version of java.exe that is in that directory is the original version,  not the newer version I forced the installer to use).
    On the surface, CF seems to run OK, but I have not done any application testing yet.
    And finally my
    ** QUESTION **
    Would it be appropriate to simply point the java.home var to the new java directory? I see that the directory structures and files are not exactly the same  (close though) so I certainly don't want to break things by doing this,  but instinct tells me that if the installer broke using the older  version, then something else is gonna break down the road if I don't use  the new version. On the other hand, the differences in the  directories and files is enough that it makes me very nervous, with my  limitied java skill set, to make this decision. 
    Thanks in advance!!

    Hi Byron,
    Wow great post no doubt much of the information will be useful for those on Win03 SP2 +. Have to say not come across similar problem on Win08 r2 SP1 +.
    So to your question. Adobe security bulletin (http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/894/cpsid_89440.html) recommends running CF8 and CF9 with JVM 1.6.0_24. The bulletin does not say how to do that. I take you installed JDK and not just JRE 1.6.0_24? Post install of JDK follow these steps:
    Stop CF - SERVICES.msc stop "ColdFusion 9 Application Server".
    Take a copy of CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config - so you got a backup.
    Edit CF\runtime\bin\jvm.config find line "java.home=" and comment it out eg:
    #java.home=C:/ColdFusion9/runtime/jre
    Add new line like so and save jvm.config:
    java.home=C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_24/jre
    Note  there the slashes and the location of the JRE (runtime) - you need to  point to the one in JDK because the other JRE in C:\Program  Files\Java\jre6 will be missing a DLL.
    Start CF via SERVICES.msc.
    HTH, Carl.

  • Toupad Tapping and Scrolling stopped working after Windows 10 Upgrade

    Hi, I upgraded my OC to Windows 10 today, after the upgrade tapping and scrolling stopped working on the synaptics touchpad. the toucpad only finctions as a pointer now. for taps/Clicks i always have to use the buttons below the touchpad. It was working fine before the upgrade, the earlier OS was Windows 7 I have checked for driver updates but i get a message that the drvier is up to date.I have check the device setting and confirmed that tapping and scrolling is enabled.I have also done a device reset. Nothing solved the problem, i also did not find a relevant answer on the forums.Also, the same problem did not happen with my other HP laptop (Notebook PC) which was also upgraded to windows 10 recently. Does anyone have a solution? Regards,Siddharth. 

    , Hello and thanks for posting on the HP support forums.  What you will need to do is the run the Windows Update Fixer tool.  Here is a link to help you with that.  Make sure you run all updates including optional. Fix Microsoft Windows Update Issues If that fails to work the only other option is to roll your system back to the original supported operating system that came with your notebook. Thanks again for the post and have a great day.

  • Front and back cameras stopped working after IOS 8 update

    My front and back cameras both stopped working after i updated my phone to the IOS 8 software. Does anyone know why this would happen or any way of fixing it?

    Hi VictoriaViking,
    Not sure why your cameras stopped working with the update, or what the exact symptom is (black screen, no response...), but please check out the Camera troubleshooting section of this article.  (I know some don't apply to your issue.)
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • Touchpad stop woking after Synaptics driver is installed

    2 days ago I installed the new Ethernet, WWAN, Camera, Wireless, Audio, Graphics drivers from the HP website and also the latest BIOS, and the Synaptics touchpad mouse and stick mouse stopped working, if I remove the Synaptics driver the touchpad will work (very slow), If I reinstall the Synaptics driver again it will stop working, I've tried different versions of the Synaptics driver from the HP support website and nothing, as soon as the driver is installed the touchpad will stop working. I have removed the WWAN and Camera driver but nothing happens still the same. If I reboot into BIOS mode the touchpad works fine, so it's not a harware problem. If I check the Mouse Properties there is no Synaptics tab. If I check the Device Manager it's all good.
    This question was solved.

    @brosenz ,
    Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums.  The first thing I would ask is what prompted a BIOS update.
    Did you have an issue with your system that required you to do a BIOS update. If not do an HP BIOS recovery back to the old version.  If it isn't broke don't fix it.
    Restoring the BIOS
    After that do a system recovery back to the older driver and software.  Again if it isn't broke don't fix it.
    Now if you where having issues with the system that required a BIOS update and an update in drivers and the recovery does not resolve the problem.  Contact HP phone support for repair options.

  • "itunes has stopped working" after connecting ipad mini to computer Windows 7

    itunes can play 2 out of 10 movies already on my computer. Otherwise, when I start to play the other movies, I get the notice itunes has stopped working etc.
    Quicktime Player VERSION 7.7.4 can get to the Apple Store and order a movie.  But when I insert my Ipad mini, itunes IMMEDIATELY "itunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."  
    I reinstalled lastest itunes 11.1.3  after uninstalling it, and placed it not on the C Drive, which is pretty full but on another drive. I use ImTooiTransferPlatinum to put muisc onto my ipad mini, not itunes.

    also when I open itunes in safemode (using shift+ctrl), it works normally...

  • Photoshop 3D Extrusion stopped working after latest Adobe update

    I have Creative Cloud subscription and Photoshop 3D Extrusion used to work fine (though slow).
    After latest update several days ago it stopped working, displaying an error message instead:
    "The 3D features require that 'Use Graphics Processor' is enabled in the Performance preferences. Your video card must meet the minimum requirements and you may need to check that your driver is working correctly"
    The Graphic Processor is enabled, and the driver is working fine.
    Is this a bug or a "feature" in new version? How to make it work as before the update?

    Ken, who are "they"? I expect help from Adobe. Aren't you a staff member?
    When Adobe sold me the Cloud it did not tell me that 3D features were not going to work.
    The last update was applied only to Cloud version of Adobe products. It's not Photoshop specific. Something was wrong with the cloud software update.
    I expect Adobe to fix the bug and make 3D features work again.

  • 2010 Mini superdrive has stopped working after Mountain Lion update - anyone else?

    After updating to 10.8 the superdrive on my 2010 mini has completely stopped working. It will not accept any disks. Disk Utility sees the drive as a working drive. Anyone else having this issue? If yes and you've resolved it, how??

    Same thing happened to me with Mountain Lion. It seems that at the moment there's no solution. I've tried to burn a DVD with Toast Titanium, iDVD and the SimplyBurn. All of them failed.
    It's a shame that Apple did this because we pay for a computer with a drive that could burn DVD discs. I´m very, very disappointed with Apple!

  • HP Power Advisor has stopped working after installing latest updates

    I have been using HP Power Advisor successfully on my Lenovo X230 running Windows 7.  After installing the latest Power Advisor updates it no longer works.  I can select a voltage from the dropdown on the Input Voltage screen but nothing happens when I click on the Go button, as if it is disabled.  I've tried re-installing the download package which works fine but it stops working again as soon as I install the latest updates.  Any ideas how to solve this?

    Well on the website for HP power Advisor, it specifically says, 
    "Accurately estimate power consumption of your HP server and storage products"
    There could be many different things interrupting your use of the program, but I'm going to say that maybe your largest problem with using the HP software designed for HP machines is your Lenovo.
    Sorry,
    Good Luck!

  • Why do gestures stop working after Mountain Lion update?

    I've just installed Mountain Lion on my MBP, and soon after a reboot, gestures stop working.
    Rebooting fixes this, at least temporarily. But soon afterwards I can't switch between screens with three finger swipe etc.
    Yes, gestures are enabled in preferences.
    Any clues?

    Having same issue with iMac and Magic Mouse.
    I found that Mission Control stopped working as well (even with the App shortcut in Applications) and as such found a quicker workaround than login / logout.  Open Terminal and type:
    killall Dock
    This will restart the Dock and Mission Control etc and seems to restore the gestures.
    Cheers
