New laptop -- Mouse pad freezes randomly forcing me to restart my computer

I purchased my HP ProBook 450 G1 laptop one week ago.  Since then, I have noticed that each day (at least once) my mouse pad will randomly freeze up.  I try to move the mouse but the mouse will only move within a millimeter or so range on the screen.  I have to restart the computer when this happens, and then the mousepad begins to work again.   The synaptics driver is up to date (or at least it says it is).  Please let me know how to fix this. 

Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).<br />
If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
Do a clean (re)install:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • Satellite A500 - mouse pad freezes every time I go onto the internet

    Hi all,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 and every time I go onto the internet my mouse pad freezes. The only option I have is to restart the computer again. This is becoming very frustrating as I do not know what to do?
    If someone can help this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
    Cheers
    Karen.

    Hello Karen
    To be honest I have never heard about something like this and believe you are the first one with this strange issue.
    I would like to know since when you have noticed this? I cannot imagine this issue persists from the first day.
    Do you have original preinstalled operating system?
    I can imagine the first step can be BIOS update. Is latest BIOS installed on your Satellite Notebook?

    I've just bought a new laptop, how do I put my iTunes from my old computer onto my new laptop, in a way where nothing gets lost or deleted?

    or:
    Transfer iTunes purchases by:

    - Transfer othre music by using a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music
    - Retain app data and other information, connect the iPod to yur computer and make a backup by right clciking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the Backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

  • I have a MackBook Pro I updated to Maverick and now my internet won't work and all my programs freeze and I have to restart my computer.

    I have a MackBook Pro I updated to Maverick and now my internet won't open and all my programs freeze and I have to restart my computer. The only program that doesn't freeze is Microsoft Word.

    Back up your documents and everything else important to you, not that there is any reason to believe your hard disk may be failing, but the symptoms you describe may presage an impending disk failure, and you should have backups anyway.
    To help determine the possible causes of this behaviour read the following. None of what follows is intended to fix anything, but it will provide the additional information required to advance troubleshooting:
    Boot OS X Recovery by holding ⌘ and r (two fingers) while you start your Mac. At the Mac OS X Utilities screen, select Disk Utility. Select your startup volume (usually named "Macintosh HD") and click the Repair Disk button. Describe any errors it reports in red.
    When it finishes restart your Mac and test again for operation. If it's still not behaving as you expect it should, please post the results of EtreCheck in accordance with the following instructions:
    Apple Support Communities contributor etresoft wrote a very useful app to quickly gather certain system information that may help point to a cause of this problem. Go to his website, download and run EtreCheck:
    http://www.etresoft.com/etrecheck
    Etrecheck will be in your Downloads folder. Open it from there. You may see the following dialog box:
    Click Open - etresoft contributes to this forum frequently and can be considered a trustworthy developer.
    It will take a moment to run as it collects its data.
    Copy and paste its output in a reply.
    Do not be concerned about anything that says "Problem" or “failed” or anything else that may appear in red.
    EtreCheck was designed to remove any personal information (such as your computer's name and serial numbers) but if you see anything that looks like an email address or any other personal information that should not be divulged to others, please delete or obscure that information when you post the reply.
    When you are finished with EtreCheck, quit the program. It occupies very little space, and you can keep it or drag it to the Trash as you wish.
    After completing the above please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
    Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
    You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
    Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
    Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
    To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

  • How come I can no longer scroll down via my laptop mouse-pad with Firefox 4.0?

    You know how you can use the mouse-pad on a laptop to scroll down on a web-page? I used to be able to do that in in the one before 4.0, but no longer can...anyone else have this problem?

    Since today the scrolling started to work for me. Was there a fix auto installed? I havent updated anything that I know about.
    I might have uninstall an old Java JRE, don't remember when I did it, could that have done it?

  • Mouse pad Freezes

    I bought the HP probook G1 450 less than a year ago, and i have a problem with the mouse pad , as it sometimes freeze (only moving really slowly but in one line , doesn't go up or down).
    i read online some ppl have had the same issue with windows 8.1 (after the update), and the solution is to connect an external mouse , remove the device installation and re-install so you get the last update (as its un-detectable when its the same version but with a slight difference ),i did all the steps correctly and 80% of the time its working perfectly , but then what i explained before happens, and i need to put it to sleep or just hibernate to get back up running ,Of course when am using external mouse, its working perfectly  ....

    Hi AJ 1) Have you tried to uninstalling the Driver from device manager.2) Update the Latest Bios from HP website.3) Have you tried performing the system restore to the date where unit was working fine.

  • Once I turn off the browser and then try to use it later, I get a message saying its already running but not responding. tells me to close it which I cant do since its already closed. Forces me to restart my computer

    Each time I start, use and close Firefox, when I try to use it the 2nd time, I get a message saying its already running but not responding. It Isn't. I have to restart my computer everytime I want to use Firefox.

    <u>'''Safe Mode'''</u>
    You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox SafeMode is a diagnostic mode that disables extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes before starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
    See:
    '''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
    '''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
    '''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
    If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears. You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.

    If you must use Chrome, download either the very latest version or the newest builds of the beta version. There are problems with Chrome and your Intel 4000 GPU that have beenn documented here and all over the Internet. The very latest version is supposed to fix the problem. Also make sure that you have the latest Software Update, released yesterday, for your machine.
    Then follow Bimmer's instructions. I'll bet that you're problems will be solved by updating Chrome, making sure that you have the latest software updates available, and following Bimmer's guides.
    Good luck,

  • My iBook G4 random prompts me to restart my computer in different languages

    My iBook G4 keeps prompting me to restart my computer in different languages.
    Sometimes this happens at Startup (when ocasionally it sends me to a white screen where I then have to type "mac boot" to restart the system).
    I had not made any changes to the HArdware or my network in the past 6 months and the only software changes I have made were to the OS - via Software Update.
    I thought this might be related to a faulty hard drive - so I replaced the drive with a new one and a whole new OS (10.4.11) - did not loads any files or apps and the restart message STILL happened.
    I then removed the extra 512MB of RAM (which makes up my 1GB total RAM)and the message still appeared.
    I have read that Airport Cards can cause "Kernal Panic" - but even with the Aiport Network disabled, I still get the message!
    I really don't want to spend too much more money on sorting this problem out as I am in danger of spending almost as much as it costs to buy a whole new MacBook.
    I would be grateful if anyone can advise me on this problem - so I am not spending more time and money chasing ghosts. I will be sorry to replace the G4 - as it has been the perfect companion for about 3 - 4 years.
    Thanks for reading!
    Bob

    Hi, Bob.
    What you are seeing is a _kernel panic_.
