Mouse pad not working properly having downloaded Windows 8

Hi, having downloaded Windows 8 to my laptop (HP Spectre xt 13-2000ea) the mouse pad has stopped working properly. The "two finger" page down/up and left/right has stopped working.
I have looked at the mouse settings and it currenlty states the synaptics hardware is installed and working correctly.
Have even gone onto the Synaptics website but have been unable to download something that can correct it. The HP hardware updates page on their support website does not appear to have anything that deals with Windows 8 problems.
Any help much appreciated. Thanks

Had exactly the same issue with my HP laptop. The Windows 8 driver installed with the OS works OK but the Synaptics driver in the latest Windows Update will not scroll. I had to uninstall the existing (newest) driver and install the HP Windows 7 driver from this site (an older version) then in Windows Update you have to wait for the Synaptics driver update to be offered (obviously you have to do a manual update and not allow it to install automatically) and then right click on it and select hide update.

Mouse is not working properly on a one month old HP Pavillion 15-NO28US

I'm sure it's already been talked about on here, but I haven't found a successful fix or the same exact problem as I'm having. I went thru the latest Windows 8.1 update recently (at least I think it was the update) and when I restarted my computer yesterday the mouse was not working properly. Like a lot of other people who are complaining about it, the two-finger scrolling and other similar features are not working, but what really bothers me is the the mouse is almost acting like it was changed to a left handed mouse. I've checked the settings and it is still set on right-handed, but when I click the left mouse button the small window opens up next to where I clicked, which has the copy, delete and paste options (and other regular options) in it. When I click the right mouse button, nothing happens. Double tapping on the touchpad doesn't do anything either. I downloaded and install the latest synaptic drivers and nothing happened. I even performed a system recovery last night to reset all setting and it's still not working. This really sucks because I've only had this computer for about a month and I've already lost everything I've put on it...most importantly all of my school work and music apps. Is there anything to fix this or can anyone tell me what's going on with this stuff, before I have to call into HP and have a melt down?

Hi Kevin3047,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you!!
I understand that after updating from Windows 8 to 8.1 your mouse is not performing correctly. You have tried the built in troubleshooter but to no avail.
You checked the settings and they appear ok, but when you click the left mouse button the small window opens up next to where you clicked, which has the copy, delete and paste options (and other regular options) in it. When you click the right mouse button, nothing happens. Double tapping on the touchpad doesn't do anything either. I grasp that you did a recovery but it did not help. You also stated you lost your data once, and that in itself is extremely aggravating, I agree.
Here is a step that may help.
Go to the Command Prompt and right click on it to run as Administrator
type sfc /scannow and press enter. This will scan for corrupted files and try to repair them.
Here are links to two documents that may aid with this process.
Troubleshooting Mouse Problems (Windows 8)
Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
Would you also please try a clean boot to see if it persists. Here is a Windows document to assist you.
How to perform a clean boot in Windows
If none of this has alleviated the issue, I suggest you do a Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8).
If the issue still pesists, I would do a recovery again. You will be prompted during the recovery to backup your personal files to prevent data loss. I would suggest you choose yes, to prevent data loss.
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
Restoring Files that were Backed Up Using HP Recovery Manager (Windows 8)
This will take it back to factory. Here is a document on Updating Windows 8 to 8.1 to assist you with doing the update again.
If you are still experiencing the issue, as @visruth stated I would contact HP support for assistance. They are able to remotely log onto your system to help with this difficulty.
Please call HP technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region HP Technical Support Sitemap.

My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Notebook mouse pad not working

My notebook is relatively new and the mouse pad was working for the first 2 months. After 2 months it stopped working and when I tried to reinstall the drivers it still didn't work. Any solutions?

Hi @NightFury108
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that your mouse has stopped working, and that you have tried reinstalling drivers. I am happy to assist.
Did you notice any problems prior to it failing to work?
I realize that you have tried reinstalling drivers, but have you also tried a system restore? If not see the following and look for a restore point from before when the problem started. It is always possible the cause is more related to some other software that was updated or something similar that is interfering with the touchpad.
Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8)
Also you should take a look at this, most likely Troubleshooting when TouchPad does not work in Windows 8
Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8)
Let me know whether that helps or not.

Bamboo Track Pad not working properly

My Bamboo track pad is not working properly. Plugged it in into my macbook pro via USB like usual today and for some reason when I try to use it and begin using the pen tool in illustrator my pointer only stays in the top left corner of my screen and wont move with my pen. This is the first time I have had this problem with my Bamboo track pad. Not sure why it is doing this. My MBP recognizes the track pad but for some reason it just won't work properly. Not sure if I need to reinstall the driver or what? Any help would be grateful, thanks.

Ralph, thanks for the quick reply. All of the Trackpad preference boxes are checked for "Point & Click" except "Three finger drag." Once "Three finger drag" is checked, this action spawns a simultaneous action in the Trackpad "More Gestures" area that changes the gesture for Mission Control from "three finger swipe up" to "four finger swipe up."
Since I am having this problem on an early 2009 iMac, I decided to check-out my 2013 MBPr for the same behavior. Amazingly, all was working well with the built-in trackpad functionality regarding the "double-tap select and drag" until i checked and then un-checked the "Three finger drag" box (in Trackpad preference > point & click). Now my "double-tap select and drag" is BROKEN on my 2013 MBPR.

Upgrade to Win 10 mouse pad not working P35W-B3226

I have the Click 2 Pro P35W-B3226 and mouse/touchpad quit working after updating to Windows 10. I was able to get the mouse functioning somewhat by going into Settings/Devices/Mous&Touchpad/Elan and Enabling, but the only functions it has is as a pointer and i can click by pushing in center of touchpad. The multi touch and scrolling functions no longer work? Anyone know how to correct? Or when an update is planned, this is very annoying. Thanks.

If you haven't yet, check Toshiba Service Station and Windows Update both for updates.

Keyboard and Touch-Pad Not Working After Having to Install New Hard Drive

I had to install a new hard drive in my HP Pavillion DV9700t that has Vista Home Premium 64-bit. After going through the recovery process with backup disk the built in keyboard and touch-pad do not work. During the installation, an error message came up saying something along the lines of "the drivers are not supported by this verison of windows because they are unsigned." The drivers that had that error were "hpqkbfiltr keyboard filter driver," "HP remote control HID Device," and "hpqkdfilter driver." I tried to update the drivers for the keyboard from the hp website, but the keyboard and touch-pad still do not work.
My question is, where do I find the digitally signed drivers for the keyboard and touch-pad that Vista won't flag and disable?
Help please!

Sparkles,
Thanks for the suggestions.
When dealing with MS Fix It, I was choosing run. Upon further investigation on that site, there really isn't a scan that applies to my issue anyways I tried the .NET Framework repair tool, and that seemed to work. It told me to try re-running what I was having issues with, so I tried running the Windows PowerShell again, but again was faced with the following message "windows update standalone installer encountered an error: 0xc8000247." I went back to the .NET screen and hit "Next" because it didn't work, and that responded by saying they were going to submit logs to Microsoft. I won't hold my breath on that one.
I'm to the point where I honestly don't care anymore. I have no idea what to do, because doing a clean install with the discs HP sent me isn't going to help because they are just recovery discs, and not an actual Windows disk. This is the second hard drive I have had to put into my laptop and use those recovery disks on in the last 3-years. The built-in keyboard hasn't worked during that time frame on either hard drive. I don't think the recovery disks I was sent install properly. Not sure where to go from here. I spent way too much money on this laptop years ago having it custom built to handle all of my drafting programs, so I don't want to just kick it to the curb. I was looking into the possibility of just replacing it, but I cannot stand the Windows 8 interface.
I guess I should have fixed the issue with the keyboard on this hard drive before loading all of my programs. Between the recovery disk install, formatting of the hard drive, and installing all of my programs it took well over 12 hours. Not really looking forward ot that again Then there's shockwave and flash and all of the other goodies that my recovery disks won't restore anyways.
Sorry if this seems like a negative post, but I'm just tired of trying to no avail. Maybe I should just take it somewhere to get it looked at, but I can't see them being successful if the recovery disks won't help anyways.
Thanks for you help,
MadBuch

Pavilion mouse pad not working

I am about ready to return this laptop and go back to Toshiba. I have had it for less than two months and have had nothing but problems with it. Currently, the mouse pad is not functioning; I am using a USB mouse trying to fix it.
I downloaded HP updates, including the BIOS, and as soon as I restarted the cursor had disappeared. I have gone into the F10 menu and tested the cursor and it was working. I checked in device manager and there was no mouse driver installed (though of course it used to be there) so I downloaded it from the HP website, restarted, and nothing. I have done a hard reset, nothing.
Combined with the nebulous keyboard functionality and the fact that the network connection never stays connected, this problem is the last straw.
This question was solved.

Mouse pad not working - envy x2 hybrid

it has been 3 days now and my mouse pad won't work, i have Envy X2 hybrid.
The mouse no longer appears, i have tried restarting/ updating synaptic drivers - shows as updated and that the device is working properly.
i have tried removing windows 8.1 and putting windows 8 on. taking screen on and off - nothing is working. i have also tried to change the mouse pointer to see if this works, it doesn't.
i press ctrl and it shows where the mouse should be and it moves as to where i touch on the screen.
can anyone help?

Hello bacon_face,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the mouse pad on your hybrid does not work. First, please try connecting a USB or wireless mouse to see whether or not it works.
Also, I would like you to reinstall the operating system. It will clear up any software conflicts and allow you to start fresh, likely on Windows 8.
First, please ensure you backup your files. Here is information on how to do this: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8)
Once this is done, it is safe to reinstall the operating system. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
Once this is done, use Windows 8 for a while. If the same situation occurs on Windows 8 or 8.1, the computer likely has faulty hardware. At that point, please contact HP phone support. You can utilize this website to learn how to contact HP appropriately, based on your region: Contact HP Worldwide
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns, and if this helped you. Thanks for choosing the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Macbook suddenly dies/mouse pad not working

Hi everyone,
I've become extremely worried about my macbook lately. I rely on it on a daily basis for work.
Last night my Macbook suddenly died on me. I was working and all of a sudden the screen turned off and the fans stopped. I thought the battery had died. But as i picked the macbook up, it started up again and the screen went on. The disk drive made the same startup noise it makes when you first turn on the macbook.
This similar thing has happened a few times in this last 24 hours. It seems to be getting more frequent. Sometimes, when it comes back on again, the little white power light stays off.
As i wrote this, it happened twice, thats the most its ever happened.
Also, my mouse seems to be double clicking everything. When i press the button on the built in mouse pad, it seems to have the effect of a double click. For example, when i click the top bar of this window once, it minimizes it - and it will not allow me to drag the window around.
HELP! This is not good! :(:(

By your description it does sound very much like your computer is in the process of failing and will soon be unusable at all.
the safest thing to do t this point would be to not use it any more and remove its hard drive (very easy to do by anyone). This will keep your drive intact. You can then get the computer repaired or get another one. You will at least have your data.
Anyone that depends on their computer for anything important such as for a business should always have a backup on the ready. Even is this means another entire computer.
Everyone that considers their computer's data, whether music, schoolwork, videos, other personal stuff etc. should definitely have an external hard drive that they backup the internal drive onto dailey, or as often as new data is added that they would not want to lose.
Thinking that your computer or hard drive will never fail is foolish. It doesn't matter what brand or model it is, they can all fail. This is particularly true of laptops and of hard drives.

Magic Mouse on Mouse Pad not working

Love the new Magic Mouse, except that it does not seem to track properly on a mouse pad.
I don't care for how it feels on the wood surface of my desk (though it does work properly there).
So I got just a plain old mouse pad, and for some reason it tracks poorly or not at all.
Any thoughts?
thanks
ian

Ian , I use a dark grey pad and don't have a problem with tracking, albeit I've extend the mouse's capabilities with the excellent and free Better Touch Tool. Perhaps it will help you.

Hello @venis ,
To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
Even though this is a Commercial product, here is a document on how to troubleshoot the mouse and Touchpad sensitivities.
If you will go to the section on Adjusting TouchPad or ClickPad pointing sensitivities it should help resolve the issue.
Here is a link for your driver Window 8 for the Synaptics TouchPad, if needed uninstall the old driver and install the new.
