Synaptics multi-touch driver not working

Hello,
I've got a problem with my multi-touch pad. I have, without meaning to, deleted my synaptics pointing device driver and, obviously, it stopped working. I have already followed severeal times instructions by other forums but it wouldn't work anyway. The driver is already installed but it doesn't work any way. I have also tried to enable it but it was already enabled. Rebooting and restarting my computer wouldn't work.
please help me.
my computer model: an ultrabook/sleekbook HpENVY 14-k010us sleekbook

Andy,
A couple of things to try:
Be prepared:
Create a Restore Point Create a Restore Point – Win7 OR Create a restore point Win8
Next:
Perform the Hard Reset . Boot the computer and log in
That may do jar loose any cobwebs.
Version update...
If you are not using this version and you are running Windows 8 or 8.1,
you might install this driver for HP ENVY 14-k010us Sleekbook :
sp62794 Synaptics TouchPad V17.0.2.4

Multi touch gestures not working in mountain lion?

Any one else having problems with their multi gesture trackpad not working when you wake your notebook from sleeping with Mountain Lion? If I restart it fixes it but once it falls asleep it stops working again.

I've been having the same problem. When my MBP would wake from sleep any touch gestures that used more than two fingers would not work. I also had the issue where the MBP would forget the wireless network when it woke from sleep. I found this answer on another thread and it worked on both issues for me.

Multi touch pad not working Dell XPS

The multi touch features on my touchpad are not working on Firefox 9.0.1. Dell XPS L702X with Synaptics PS/2 TouchPad. Multi touch works on all other programs, including IE. While attempting to use multitouch, for example scrolling, the icon changes to show that it is working - but it is not.

Silly question....
Has the trackpad been turned off by any chance? A lot of laptops come with a button you press or hold to turn the trackpad itself off (or may be a function button using the F keys)

Magic Mouse multi-touch surface not working.

Hi 66-pro,
If you are having erratic trackpad behavior, you may want to try resetting your System Management Controller (SMC); you may find the following article helpful:

Multi-touch trackpad not working on new MBP

I know I've seen this listed elsewhere, but I have something to add to the conversation.
My MBP does not seem to recognize the Advanced trackpad functionality.
I go into the System Preferences and first, the Keyboard/Mouse option takes a long time to load, and then the advanced features show up without a checkbox next to them. I've gone into iPhoto and tried the pinch-zoom and it doesn't work.
Could this be due to the fact that I used Migration Assistant from an older model MBP? Wouldn't it have brought over my System Prefs as well?
Just trying to get this figured out.

I presume you are still able to use the trackpad but without the advanced features. I've been searching for the possibly simpler options to try. One of these is to remove any preferences relating to the trackpad from the Libraries which store these. What should happen if you do this is that the system will recreate these files and enable standard usage of the relevant software/hardware if the software/hardware is in good order.
You can also check System Profiler to make sure that it is detecting your keyboard/Trackpad.
I've located several files that might affect your situation. Moving the preferences out doesn't worry me very much but I'm not sure what will happen if you move a +preference pane+ out. There is a pp that relates to keyboard/trackpad in /system/library/preferencepanes/.
Preferences that you can remove fairly safely are:
/users/(yourusername)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
I don't know what settings this will remove but it might free up system preferences to allow the advanced features to be set.
Beyond this the only suggestion I can make is that you do an 'archive and instal' of the system to get a brand new system running.

Touch pad not working with HP G60 operating on Windows 7

I have a HP G60 operating on Windows 7 (not sure bit) and have problems with touch pad not working.
I was using touch pad and wireless mouse interchangeably for past year.
No recent changes made to system. Suddenly not work one evening. Have tried shutting down and left overnight which has not resolve problems. On one occasion, i was not even able to type and that resolved after re-starting computer.
There is a button between space bar and top of touch pad which is white. Even when i press and turn red, it has not changed situation. Therefore I have to use my wireless mouse to operate for the moment.
Would appreciate any advice about what is the problem and ways to resolve it.
Thanks a lot!
Mo

Hi,
The numbers are fine
Try the following.
First, ensure the Touchpad is switched on ( the light between the Touchpad and the Spacebar should be white ), then download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp44501-45000/sp44940.exe
Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, shut down the notebook, remove any external devices connected to the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
When windows has fully reloaded - it will automatically load a generic driver for the Touchpad, but just let it do this. Then open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook.

Lenovo A1 - Touch screen not working after digitizer replacement

After dropping my tablet and breaking the digitzer, I ordered a replacement digitzer from a company in China. (It took about a month to get it) After watching this video, I was able to install my new digitizer and it finally looked new again....well at least the screen!
But.....when I powered up my tablet, the touch screen wasn't working..... I emailed back and forth with the company and they told me to install drive program, and send me a link to a site with a video, this site may have contained more than the video, but it was all in Chinese and I couldn't figure it out even with Google Translate. So I started researching. I thought I would try and load ICS on it, I thought, "Whats the worst thing that could happen?" it wasn't much more than a brick at this point anyways.
I found this website that let me through installing ICS on it. I had absolutly no expectations...but IT WORKED!!!! MY TOUCH SCREEN IS NOW WORKING!!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!
When I was researching for this problem, there was absolutly no posts anywhere for "Touch screen not working after new digitizer". So I wanted to share my experience.

Yea you are correct.....it must be a hardware problem. You must contact service centre of Lenovo and get help from there.
You can say thank you by pressing the star left to my post IF I HELPED YOU

Touch is not working properly

I have hp omni 10 .one day I change option of re calibrated now touch is not working properly how I can fix this

It seems that one of the Windows Updates is causing some conflict with the touchscreen driver/firmware. Try the following steps as a temporary work around until HP can come up with a permanent fix.
1. As you power on the Omni 10, press the hardware Volume Down button to get into the BIOS menu
2. Select BIOS Setup (if the touchscreen is not responding, you'll need to plug in a USB mouse via a micro USB male to USB female adapter)
3. Select Exit on the LEFT side of the screen
4. Select Load Setup Defaults on the RIGHT side of the screen & select Yes
5. Select Exit Saving Changes on the RIGHT side of the screen & select Yes
After the restart, the touchscreen should work again.

Multi-touch gestures stop working?

Apple, there is an annoying bug in Mountain Lion that needs to be fixed. Sometimes when we wake our computers from sleep, multi-touch gestures stop working. The problem is related to the Dock. Restarting the dock by typing "killall Dock" into Terminal and hitting return provides a temporary resolution, but the problem will eventually return. There are several other posts in this forum and others. Seems like there should be an easy fix to what is the only complaint I currently have with your new operating system.
Thanks.

Sony Vaio Pro 13.3 Touch: Touch screen not working

Hi, The touch screen for my Sony Vaio Pro 13 Touch suddenly stopped working two days ago and I have no idea how to fix it. I didn't install anything new before it stopped working, and I tried to install all the new drivers on the VAIO update but it still didn't work. I thought it might be because of Windows so I updated to Windows 8.1 today and it still does not work. On the PC info it even says" Pen abd touch: No pen or touch input is available for this display". but this laptop is supposed to have touch capability and it has been working up until now. Please help! My model number is SVP13215CDB. Do I need to install or update my driver?

Hi FlyingTortoise,
Was there any changes prior to touch screen not working? Like installing software or hardware? If not, then try using windows system restore to restore back to a date that you know when it was working. If that still does not resolve issue. Then we may have to put the unit back to factory condition to eliminate software related before servicing the unit for hardware.
