The touch screen on my nearly brand new Pavillion lap top running windows 8 no longer works.

The touch screen on my nearly brand new Pavillion lap top running windows 8 no longer works.  Cant use calibration tools as there's no response to touch.  No option in control panal to turn on or off touch capability.  I have no computer background so cant really get to technical.  Is something simple turned on or off located in some mysterious place?  F key or something?   Bad machine?  Thanks for any input.  Sarah

I found the driver at the above link.  I installed the driver, disabled my graphics card and rebooted.  The touchscreen worked.  Then I enabled the graphics card.  So far so good.  Hope I dont have to do this routine too often.
Good luck with it.

  • New lap top running windows 8,1.  PS cc 2014 will not display in a font size that can be read,WHATEVER I DO

    Been running PS CC 2014 on Windows 7  -  no problems.  Just installed on lap top running windows 8.1 and the font size is so tiny it can't be read.  Options in computer settings don't make any improvement.  I am unable to use PS at all.

    It sounds like you are using a 4K monitor. Try the following link: http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/photoshop-experimental-features.html#Scale the UI 200% for high-density displays

  • Can't download iTunes to new PC lap top. "Itunes has stopped working, event name APPCRASH"

    Hi
    On hols my lap top died and I replaced it while away - so Lap top is Fijian, but my Apple I Tunes account is British - in case that's relevant.
    Trying to download iTunes to the lap top, (windows 7) but I get the same error each time.  I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software several times.
    Error message says "iTunes has stopped working" and the details says the following...

    Taken at face value, that's an exceptionally old version number for that QuickTime component.
    Do you have the QuickTime Player installed on your system at the moment? If so, is that also currently failing to launch (with or without an error message)?

  • The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly

    The head phone jack on my brand new iPod touch 5th generation is not working properly. It has sound without the headphones in but when I plug them in it has no sound, it's low, or poppy. I had only used my apple supplied headphones once before and it worked fine. I know it's not the headphones because I tried them on my girlfriends phone and they worked fine.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

    So my phone got wet the other day. I dried it out completely, but the touch screen still isn't working. Is there anything I can do short of getting a new phone? Anything that can be done at the nearest Verizon store? I am one of three phones on our plan and I am trying not to need to get a new phone before our contract expires next month.

    Hello wetphone!
    We're sorry to hear that your phone isn't working. It's very important to have a functioning touchscreen!  Let's explore your options OK? If the phone is taken to a store, troubleshooting can indeed be done. The store representative can even contact us while you're there.  Do you have insurance on the device? Or, do you maybe have a prior vzw device that can be activated until the upgrade is available? You can also check your My Verizon account to see if your line( or another line on the account) is eligible for an upgrade. VZW always has options for you.

    Is this a Bluetooth keyboard?
    Have you turned on Bluetooth in iPad's Settings app?

  • I dropped my phone and the very bottom of the touch screen does not respond. would i need to get the screen replaced or is there another way?

    I've dropped my phone quite often, and the back of the phone is cracked, but I haven't bothered to fix it. I dropped my phone again today, and a tiny bit chipped off near the top edge of my phone. Later when i got home, I couldn't unlock my phone except when I slid my finger across the very top of the arrow and it JUST opened. but I can't use the bottom now, so on the keyboard, I can't type with the space bar and anything else at the very bottom of the touch screen.

    At Apple Store for $149 you can get a replacement iPhone 4 which will be just like New. Everything will work perfect and the there will be no chips or cracks. New battery and buttons too. Make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple.

    The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.
    Does anyone know what I can do?  I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing.  The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

  • How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

    how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?  my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone.  as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera.  I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive.  any suggestions?  teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

        I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

  • I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display

    I have a white vertical line down the right side of my internal brand new macbook pro 13" display. I've done the following:
    -Shutdown the computer, and restarted in Safe Mode by pressing the Shift key after the restart tone
    -Shutdown the computer, and restarted by pressing Command, Option, P & R after the restart tone
    -Checked display resolution, Best for Retina
    -Hooked it up to a Dell external monitor and via projection to screen. There are no lines on the external or secondary screens
    -Just curious, I ran a color utility which can not repair 4 items, maybe this is another issue.
    This is a brand new Macbook Pro, just out of the box. It was fine for two days without any issues, fine last night while in use, opened it up this morning with the line.
    Anyone now how I can fix this on my own?

    If you are within the first 14 days from the date of purchase, return the MBP for a refund or an exchange.  If you are after the first 14 days of the date of purchase, have the MBP repaired under the warranty provisions.

    is it possible to enter the lock screen with itunes or something else because i've damaged my phone and the touch screen is damaged that i'm not able to unlock it to make a backup on itunes ?
    it would be very important to put the data from iphone 5 to my new 5s ..

    You cant unlock your phone unless you put in your password. It may be possible that the apple store could do something about it.

    If you've had it for less than a year, then it's still under warranty.  Take it to an Apple store or an authorized service facility.  See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
