My mouse touchpad doesnt work properly

Hi there,
I just installed windows 8.1 using bootcamp on my macbook pro and everything is working great. the only problem i have now, is that when im using the windows, i cannot do right click with it. is there any way to have this touch pad getting to work like mac os?

All, the TP requires at least a 50% battery charge before it will initialy power on.
In addition, it will not allow updates until this battery level is maintained.

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.

Synaptics Touchpad not working properly

Hi everyone,
I hope someone can help me with this problem. I have my laptop since more than 2 years and never had a problem with the touchpad. Since yesterday it's all messed up.
Touchpad is enabled and if set on right-handed and buttons and tapping enabled (the standard setting) it reacts as follows: I can continue to move the pointer, scroll and use the right button. I am not able to do tapping anymore and the left button doesn't react.
If I set it on left-handed, tapping starts working again and the right button (now having the function of the left button) works. Still, the left button doesn't react. If I disable the buttons the touchpad itself works properly (scroll, tapping etc).
I have googled and I have tried the following solutions: deinstalling / installing a new Synaptic / Windows driver (downgrading as well), than there was a suggestion to take out your battery and disconnect the power cable - did that as well, have tried enabling/disabling the touchpad - no change after that. I never have a mouse connected but I have now, tried disconnecting, made no difference. The day the error occured I had a Firefox upgrade - downgraded it again, no change. I used pressured air to clean the touchpad + buttons... no change...
I don't think this is a hardware problem because the tapping function, although always enabled, would only work with buttons disabled or with left-hand setting.
I really hope someone has a solution for this, it's driving me crazy!
My laptop is a HP Pavillion DV7 with Windows Vista 32-bit.
Many thanks in advance!
Cheers,
Steph

Touchpad isnt working properly

I have a HP Pavilion dm1-2150so with Windows 7.
My Synaptic Touchpad isnt working properly. It is shaking and moving around and I have to use a mouse to use the computer. I downloaded the driver updates recommended on the HP site but then the Touchpad didnt work at all.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?

did you un-install the current ones first? also, have you made any recent changes lately?

Replace content smart objects doesnt work properly.

Hello fellow Photoshoppers,
Currently i am working on reusable album templates with smart objects. At first i was very enthusiastic but this was soon to end. as the replacing doesnt work properly.
I made the smart object by using:
1. > file
2. > place
then i try to replace the content by using.
1. > layer
2. > smart objects
3. > replace contents
the old image should get replaced by the chosen file and matching size, smart layers etc. However when i perform the same actions my image gets replaced but it is not the same size as the smart object it replaced. This makes the entire template useless as it would take far too much time resizing every single image. inspired by another video I also tried double clicking the layer and tried replacing the image in the editing sceen by dragging another file on top of the smart object. Again, it does not spread out to the full smart object size and i'm stuck with a small image in need of extra work.
Needless to say, very frustrating.
Any thoughts?

Are you sure you understood how it is intended work?
That is an interesting question, i have no experience with photoshop as i bought CS5,5 just a week ago and have no experience with any of the previous versions either. All info regarding how to make such a template i found from various tutorials, i posted one below. When they do it the image get scaled perfectly. Now since they use some smart filters in the tutorial i applied them aswell to see if this would fix the problem but it did not.
http://www.picturesocial.com/video/wedding-photo-album-templates
Are the images you want to switch in at least always of the same width to height-relation?
I checked both files for consistency and discovered they were shot on different camera's. One file ( the origional smart object ) was cropped form a 21,0MP file and the other was croped from a 10,1 MP file. Both images were cropped to a 2x1 ratio. Having discovered the difference in pixel amount i cropped a different 21,0 MP file to 2x1 ratio and checked both files for their exact dimensions (both images are equal in size with 5616 x 2808 pixels) and replaced the content with the newly cropped file which gave a much better result. However, the image was slightly smaller in photoshop leaving a small gap where the origionally placed smart object lined up perfectly. I turned the situation around and placed the 10,1MP cropped image as the smart object and replaced the content by a 21,0 MP cropped image. As to be expected i ended up with a new image much larger then the smart object. So the smart object does not constrain the files to the dimensions set. As it turns out it only scales the replaced content relative to the size of the origional content of the smart object.
I just need a reusable template with objects that:
- cannot be moved once locked ( if possible) but can have its content replaced
- scales the replaced content to the predefined dimensions
- needs no prework like cropping to the same aspect ratio as the smart object content. ( i want to be able to place a landscape sized raw (3x2) on any landscape format (2x1 / 16x9 / 4x3 or whatever) i find it acceptable to having to crop a portret to landscape orientation first before being able to replace a landscape.
now ive been searching for more info and some people say indesign is much faster in making album pages so I am installing the program as we speak hoping this will be the solution.

Wireless Mighty Mouse won't work properly with MacBook/tech support stumped

Hi. First post. Anyone heard of this problem? Appears to be location-sensitive. Problem described below, but first, short background...
Just bought entire Mac system after decades in corporate world with PC. Believed the TV ads that it would be simple. Already have been back to Mac store 6 times and have spent roughly 7 hours on phone with help line. Mac store even replaced Macbook entirely in case it was faulty logic board/Bluetooth circuit -- didn't help. Also, problem doesn't happen in store. So, to get to the point:
Wireless Mighty Mouse doesn't work properly when hooked up to Macbook -- herky-jerky, slow, unresponsive, sluggish, imprecise, intermittently better/worse. Went through a few Mighty Mouses and finally gave up; now using hardwire mouse and there's no problem. But before I return Mighty Mouse for refund, would like to see if there's a solution b/c I'd prefer wireless.
System is the latest little souped-up Macbook, 23" HD Cinema external monitor, external wireless Apple keyboard (which works fine), wireless Mighty Mouse (the culprit), Airport Express, HP printer. All brand new from local Mac store (Fifth Avenue, New York)... where the Genius counter folks have given up. I'm not convinced they believe me because (a) the problem doesn't occur there, and (b) after a couple of new Mighty Mouses, they finally just gave me a new Macbook to make me go away... but after going through the whole system setup once again, same problem. Have tried many different mousepads, BTW.
Tried all the stuff phone tech support suggested -- removing/installing/reinstalling software, etc. Airport works fine; using modem and printer connections there. Bluetooth works fine with keyboard. I've scouted around for intefering devices; even unplugged electrostatic loudspeakers and old tubed amps in living room (concrete wall separates rooms), unplugged hifi in same room, etc. On 40th floor of Manhattan hi-rise; concrete walls between neighbors. Have never had interference before with anything; previous PC system worked fine with Microsoft wireless (optical) mouse.
This is no longer urgent because hardwired Apple mouse works well. It's just mysterious.
Any thoughts?
Other than that, I like the Mac environment so far. Fifth Avenue store is cool, also, because it's open 24/7.

Hey, thanks! That was fast. I'm impressed by the Mac community.
This program helped my hardwired mouse, actually, and did give me wider parameters on the wireless mouse, but it didn't correct the herky-jerky/sluggishness -- actually amplified those problems.

Ejecting external discs doesnt work properly, no spin down of disc. why?

ejecting my external discs doesnt work properly anymore in 10.6, no spin down of disc happens, the finder unmounts the disc(s) and then the disc spins on and on. thats weird, because, in 10.5 i ejected discs and then they went spinning down the drive, as it has to be.
when i unplug the disc, which is unmounted from desktop, and still spinning, it makes a terrible noise in the disc. like a high pitched short tone.
any idea whats going wrong here?
thanks!

you probably mean "causing the fail to spindown"
you maybe mean software like techtoolpro5 or drive genius3?
yes i disabled these helper apps on the discs, but first i used it (like monitoring
all discs if they are nearly full, or working s.m.a.r.t and so on. yes its useful,
but obviously it causes problems. i must mention, that i tested my 4 external drives again,
and i found out that i can eject all discs, like said before, but only 2 of the discs are spinning down, after ejecting, BUT only when i use the button "eject" in harddisctoolkit, they dont spin down, when ejecting from desktop (apple+E), and the other 2 of the 4 drives refuse to spin down, after ejecting, even with pressing eject in harddisctoolkit....
i can also state, that these 2 discs, which refuse to spin down, are FW800/400 discs and connected via FW800. and the 2 discs which spin down succesfully are UBS2 discs, if thats worth mentioning...

Touchpad not working properly after changing LCD and invertor

Product - HP Pavilion DV4 1318TU
I was having display problems, went through repairer. He changed the LCD, invertor and fixed some issues of motherboard(related display output). After fixing these issues i am facing touchpad issues. Touch is not working properly, and when I use USB mouse its working but after 1-2hr mouse is also not working properly. I connected to external monitor then touchpad is working fine without any issues. Kindly help me and tell me the root cause.
Thanks

Hey @ashfaque91 ,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
I understand the touchpad and mouse are not working on your notebook after having your display serviced.
It seems quite odd that they would work fine on an external monitor, and to be totally blunt this is something I cant even attempt to explain.
Was this service provided by an HP service provider or was it done by an independent provider?
Try using the notebook in safe mode to see if there is an issue with the display driver causing some kind of wonky issue. Without knowing which version of Windows you are running I cannot tell you exactly how to boot safe mode on your notebook, but you can find this information easily by searching "Safe Mode Windows #" in Google.
Other than this I would suggest getting back in touch with the service provider if the issue started immediately after they provided service to the notebook.
Alternately, you can call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the following link to get the support number for your region: Phone Assist Worldwide.

My GX630 doesnt work properly on Windows Vista 64 bit

Hi,
I have problem with my GX630, its doest work properly at W Vista 64 bit, exactly Sleep mode ... its imposible to awake my computer nd I have to turn it off and than on to wake it up ...
those buttons Turbo nd Eco mode doesnt work.
sometimes happen that i get blue error screen and reset but I dont know why ... it wrotes something with some .dll file ...
some people told me that its error is caused by that thing that there are no drivers for 64 vista yet ...
I would be pleased if someone could help me up to this topic or to my email (removed to protect user privacy) or ICQ (115-378-414) thank to all of you Jabu

"sometimes happen that i get blue error screen and reset but I dont know why ... it wrotes something with some .dll file ... "
What is the BSOD error code? What .dll ? Write down the exact error.
Do you OC your notebook?
"some people told me that its error is caused by that thing that there are no drivers for 64 vista yet ... "
Install Drivers from MSI web:
http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1513
"those buttons Turbo nd Eco mode doesnt work."
You need SCM: http://global.msi.eu/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=utility&maincat_no=135&prod_no=1513
But x64 bit is N/A.
Why you use x64bit version anyway? Why not 32bit?

Thank you for your inquiry, I will do my best to assist you!
I grasp that your touchpad is not functioning correctly as you are unable to use the zoom. You have the latest driver installed.
Have you ran The HP Support Assistant to aid with HP updates and resolving issues?
Have you tried Using Automated Troubleshooting (Windows 8) to help overcome this difficulty.
Here is a link to Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8) that may also be of benefit.

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.

Z580 touchpad not working properly with windows 8

Bought a z580 laptop recently and upgraded to windows 8. The vertical and horizontal scrolling features don't work with it anymore. There is also no zooming and rotating feature anymore. I downloaded the windows 8 driver from the lenovo website, but it says that I need the 64bit driver for my laptop. According to the lenovo download it was for both 32 and 64bit. How can I get the touchpad functions back?

I just purchased the 'new' Z580 with Windows 8. Lovely laptop, nightmare experience trying to get the touchpad working! After trying a few fixes, I tried to call Lenovo directly, after going through about 10 phone numbers, I finally reached Lenovo IdeaPad technical support, who told me they had no knowledge of this issue, that it must be a hardware fault (of which I was convinced it wasn't) and asked to send the machine back for a replacement. In other words, Lenovo could not be bothered to help me fix the problem, rather pass it off to the retailer to deal with. Very poor service Lenovo, and very lazy. Anyway, I managed to get the touchpad working perfectly using the solution here (thanks!), so just wanted to advise people to ignore Lenovo and follow the steps here before sending back the 'faulty'' laptop... - Plugin in an external mouse (guessing you have done this already as the touchpad doesn;t work!)- Close down all your apps- Uninstall all Lenovo mouse and Synaptics drivers (via Control Panel)
- Go to device manager (search 'device manager' in settings using bottom-right corner action)- Right-click on 'USB HID drivers' and choose 'uninstall' - the mouse will stop working (which is fine)- Press ALT-F4 to close device manager and again to restart the laptop- The default mouse driver will install automatically - which is fine- Double-click the download here from Lenovo China (www.lenovo.com.cn) and click the left icon (will appear with ??? as it is Chinese) to unzip the file - a new folder will appear with the drivers in it- Go into the Synaptics folder and run set-up to install the Synaptics touchpad driver- Restart again and now the touchpad should be working perfectly! Good luck...
