T410 - Brand new laptop acting strange

I got this new laptop yesterday and as soon as I started configuring it and downloading all the Windows updates is started acting strange. The first issue was that the touchpad would not work - only the red pointing device. Also, the mouse would slowly move to the upper right of screen all on it's own without touching it.
It also intermitently freezes where I can move the mouse pointer around but it will not recognize my clicks on anything, When I forcibly close dwm.exe (which stands for "Desktop Windows Manager" then that solves the problem.
The other issue is that when I'm tying the cursor will jump around on it's own. So if I'm typing in my login info, it will either stop typing and jump out of that box or it will jump to the front and I'll end up typing the last part of the login name in the front of the first part.
Any idea what these buggy things could be? This is supposed to be brand new from CompUSA.com

so the trackpad doesn't work? Press Fn + F8 does the trackpad shows as enabled or disabled.
Under bios there is also option to enable and disable the trackpad, ensure that it is enabled.

I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help?

I just got a brand new laptop and I can't seem to put music onto my iPhone - help? I'd really rather not completely empty my iPhone in order to have it agree with this new laptop. How do I get them to talk to one another and let me put my music on my iPhone?

The iPhone will only Sync to One iTunes Library at a time.

My Lenovo says that power adapter is not supported on brand new laptop

Hi, I bought new Lenovo laptop two weeks ago (Lenovo Y50-70) and everything worked fine up until this morning. When i turned it on baterry icon showed that laptop was not pluged in, so i checked if everything is connected properly. Next thing a pop-up appeared saying ''Adapter is not supported''. I am sending you a screenshot. I searched the problem on internet but were not able to find anything that relates to my problem. Also i tryed calling technical support but they were not able to respond to my problem. I am reminding that this is a brand new laptop with guarantee list and everything. Please help i will be awaiting for your responseThank you

Same here. I just got off a phone for my G50-70 laptop( bought from Newegg.com . It is a new laptop with warranty.
I am getting frustrated as they have sent the replacement charger twice and it did not solve the problem. After that, they got on a session remotely to connect on my laptop. One hour and they still could not fix it.
They said that they will send the laptop to their technicians but they did not say anything about what if they could not solve this problem.
A 600 USd dollar laptop and they cannot even get this fixed. I have ths problem for the last 6 months on this laptop.
Any luck anyone?

Re: Screen full of finger prints on brand new laptop

Hi
I bought a brand new laptop from a well known store when I opened it the screen was full of finger prints so I exchanged it for the same model and that 1 was the same and looked like it had been wiped with a damp cloth and 1 else had this problem is it the stores fault or Toshibas fault.
Thanks

Thanks for reply.
I have had 3 of these laptops now as the first one developed a fault but it was sealed and the adaptor and plug were sealed in a plastic bag, the second 1 was sealed but the plug and adaptor wasnt in a bag, and was also in a different box than the first 1.
Now the 3rd one is in the same box as the first it was sealed but the plug and adaptor wasnt, at the moment I have a complaint with the store were I bought it because even though they were sealed.
I feel that the 2nd and 3rd had already had a system restore but have been told they were new so I dont know whos at fault the store or Toshiba.
I dont think I should have to clean a brand new screen it might sound like nothing to some people, but I bought new and expect new

Clicking noises on brand new laptop.

Hi, I bought a HP Pavilion 15-e 013sa on Monday from Curry's and when home I noticed it was making quiet clicking noises on the left (or middle). I took it back to the shop and was given a new one to pick up today. Got it home and it's making the same noise.
Is this common of this model? It's really getting to me now and I have a horrible feeling when given a replacement it will do the same.
Thanks.

I've never heard a laptop make this particular noise which is why I am worried.
And yes, hard to check without hearing the noise, it's just a low tapping/clicking that sounds like it's coming from the left but when you turn the laptop it's the middle.
It doesn't sound like a noise a brand new laptop should be making.
Thanks for the reply, I'm going to take it back in tomorrow and get one of their tech guys to check it.

Hi I just lost my brand new laptop in a taxi. Can it be tracked? Thanks.

"...I just lost my brand new laptop in a taxi..."
left not lost. Happens all the time. I found an iPhone once in a taxi and someone once someone left one in Starbucks. Those returns were easy. I would follow steve369's advice, call the taxi company and hope for the best. Good luck. Next time when in a taxi or limo maintain the bag strap across your body.

Laggy touchpad on brand new laptop

Hi everyone. I got a new HP Stream 13inch touch screen laptop just yesterday. I realized today that the touchpad (I don't have a wireless mouse of any kind) has been a little slow and laggy. It hasn't frozen up or anything, it's just laggy. Sometimes it will shift in another direction the second I stop using it. It's kinda annoying me and also worrying me, since it's a brand new laptop. Earlier today, I noticed it was doing this, and I restarted my laptop. After that, it was working just fine and I thought it was just one of those glitchy things that happen randomly. But it's happening again right now and Idk what to do. I don't want to have to restart my laptop every single time. Please help! This is my 3rd laptop already and I don't want something bad to happen to this one, too.

Brand new laptop: Incredibly slow and laggy.

Hi,
My mum received a brand new laptop on Saturday (this exact laptop) it hasnt been overly used as yet but the laptop seems very VERY slow. Browsers take a good while to open, sites like Facebook take ages to load - Farmville 2 for example takes an age to load and even when it does its very laggy.
Why is this band new laptop so slow? Nothing has been installed on it other than Firefox and the spec of the laptop seems pretty reasonable. Windows 8 is horrible but thats another issue.
Can anyone help or give any advice?

Do you open farmville from the laptop or from the internet? Have you checked the speed of your LAN or wireless?
Which are you using wireless or LAN NIC?
When you open application on the laptop is it slow?
Trying to determine if it is the connectivity is slow or if it is your laptop.
Also what version of AMD Catalyst are you using?
Here are some things you can do to make sure you are fully updated.
Make sure you have the most current .NET Framework 4.0
Make sure you have the most current DirectX 11.2
Make sure all of the other Microsoft Updates are complete as well. Missing Updates can cause issues.
Uninstall the AMD Catalyst you have now, before installing the Beta version.
I know most are trying to use the AMD Catalyst 13.9, which is used Windows 8 64-bit.
The AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.2 Driver can be downloaded from either of these two links:
AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 Beta9.2 for Windows®
AMD Mobility Catalyst 13.11 Beta9.2 for Windows

Itunes 9.1 very slow on brand new laptop.

After installing itunes 9.1.1 on a brand new sony vaio f-series laptop, it is extremely slow. It plays music normally, but when anything else is done (right clicking to edit, selecting anything from the toolbar such as File, edit, etc.) itunes responds very slowly. It takes over thirty seconds for any menu to appear after clicking. Sometimes itunes locks up completely forcing me end the process through Task Manager. Also, Home Sharing does now work on this particular computer. Other computers within the network work fine, but when Home Sharing is activated on this machine, the icon for Home Sharing disappears as soon as I log in. The other computer can see it and each other, but this computer can't see the other computers.

Update: I've discovered on this forum that the problem may be with Sony's media manager scanning my library (currently around 3,000 songs). Has this been confirmed?

Startup disk almost full on brand new laptop - Impossible - Help!

I bought my MacBook Air about a month ago. I have not dowloaded any movies, music, or apps. I have a couple thousand photos stored on the laptop and microsoft office- that is ALL. I am receiving an error message saying my startup disk is almost full. There is absolutely NO WAY this is possible. It is practically a brand new and unused laptop. However, I did initially use "Mail" as my inbox for several email accounts. I took all my accounts offline as "Mail" moved all my emails on all my accounts into the archives folders. Now even when I log into gmail from a web browser, all my inbox and sent messages are located in the archives folders.
My question is:
1- How do I make more room on my startup disk space, as this is clearly an error.
2- How do I recover my emails from my archive folders?
Please help. Any advise would be appreciated.
