Touch Pad Scroll stops working...
When I watch Videos on Youtube, my scroll on the touch pad stops working. I don't want to have to stop using the site just cause of this little problem, any ideas to a fix for this?
This actually happens randomly on my laptop as well, and pisses me off beyond all means. I have a G60-445D notebook and it seems the problem really is with the Synaptic Touchpad drivers itself or with my Windows 7 upgrade that doesn't like it. Originally the laptop was on Vista and never really had issues. After getting my 'upgrade disc' from bestbuy/hp I've had quite a few issues with the notebook (most have been easily resolved however).
Really for this issue, HP probably shouldn't be to blame, but I will in this case seeings I have to go outside of the HP site to actually download the drivers for it (Please do add the driver to my notebooks drivers page, its quite annoying to find a driver outside of HP for my HP laptop..especially since we no longer send operating system discs or anything like that with the pc's we purchase now...but thats another issue that i have all together).
Being that nobody else has responded to this, I'll try to give my two cents of a solution to you.
Solution 1 (stupid solution really, but when im lazy or without internet at the time, this is my usual solution):
1) start
2) control panel
3) device manager
4) mice and other pointing devices
5) find your mouse in there, mine says: Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad. Right click this and choose properties
6) Click the drivers tab.
7) If you have an option to "rollback" the driver, do that. If you do not have this option, it seems "update driver" SOMETIMES works for me, might need to reboot though.
8) if you DONT want to restart your computer after this when it comes up, you can click "no" most of the time and it still works.
Solution 2 (Still stupid, cuz HP doesn't have drivers listed for my device page):
1) go to http://www.synaptics.com/support/drivers
2) choose your OS and install the driver that you need.
3) Hope it works...if not, your best off trying solution 1.
Only problem is, this wont "STOP" it from failing, it will still crash on you from time to time. I'm also sure there are better solutions though. Hope this helped for time being alteast though.

Pro L10: After using a wireless mouse, the touch pad has stopped working
Pro L10. After using a wireless mouse, the built in touch pad has stopped working properly. On start up the touch pad icon shows and the touch pad operates intermittently, after a few minuets the icon disappears and the touch pad stops functioning. In the control panel/mouse & or device drive I can the program operating and then disappears.
I have removed the software and reinstalled to no avail. On occasions I get a message to say that another pointer is in operation.
Can you help?Hi
It seems that the wireless mouse or the wireless mouse drivers/software has a bad influence on the touchpad.
I dont have a proper solution for this issue. Well, you can check the Toshiba driver page for newest driver updates. If the updates doesnt solve this issue so I suggest to use either the wireless mouse and disable the touchpad with the key combination FN+F9 or to use a common USB mouse.
I assume that you dont have any problems with a common USB mouse. -
X121e touch pad buttons stop working after a while
Hello everyone,
I have a lenovo thinkpad x121e.
The buttons above the touchpad (for right and left clicking) and also the trackpoint stop working after a while (about 45 min). Although the touchpad itself works without problems.
If I reboot the operating system (Windows 7, 64-bit version) everything works fine for a while and then the buttons and trackpoint won't respond again.
It is always the same routine. Rebooting windows, everything alright, stop working, ...
I am using the newest driver version and de- & reinstalling of UltraNav haven't solved the problem.
Has anyone an idea what causes my problems with the touch pad buttons and how to solve it? (I guess it's not a hardware problem.)
Many thanks in advance.Hi again, li-lup
I would recommend trying to use the standard Synaptics driver found here. Synaptics is the company that develops the UltraNav software, so there should be no loss of compatibility/features. I have witnessed several cases where this driver has helped others with mouse issues, so it may help yours as well.
The first thing you will need to do is to remove the UltraNav driver from the system. To do this, open the Start menu and type Device Manager into the Search box, and then press Enter. Once here, double click on Mouse and other pointing devices, and then right-click on the UltraNav device. Naviage to the Driver tab and select Uninstall... from the bottom of the window. Follow the prompts to uninstall and then restart when prompted by Windows. Windows should install a generic driver that will allow you to use the TouchPad when downloading the Synaptics driver.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Satellite A200 - Touch pad scrolling doesnt working
Hello,
my touchpad scrolling doesn't work.
I tried everything what is possible. But without result.
I think it is maybe on account of a bad driver.
But, I don't know...
In device settings -> settings, I have got only two points: overview buttons
I am sorry for my english, I know that I need to improve it.. :P
Help me pls!
Thank you...Hi
I dont know if you have installed the OS manually from the Microsoft CD or if you used the Toshiba recovery CD. Using the Toshiba recovery CD you can set the notebook back to the factory settings.
If you have installed a clean OS then you have to install the Toshiba drivers in the right order. Check the installation instruction txt file on the driver page!
Note: There are two different touchpad drivers and both are needful!
Alps Electric Touch Pad Driver - This driver allows you to set the properties and functions for mouse control.
Synaptics Touch Pad Driver - This driver allows you to set the properties and functions for Touch Pad control.
Check and install both!!!
Then you should be able to configure the scrolling again.

Equium M40X-189 - Touch Pad has stopped working
The touch pad froze. I restarted the computer and the touch pad worked. This happened several times, and then restarting did not clear the problem. I checked under Device Manager several times and sometimes the mouse was listed and sometimes it wasn't! I Restored the computer to an earlier time when the touch pad was working but this didn't fix it. A Toshiba Agent suggested the soft ware was corrupt and I should back up every thing and use the recovery disc to reload the software for the touch pad. I'm not ready to do this yet. Currently an ALPS Pointing Device and an HID Compliant Mouse are listed under Device Manager and both are erroneously reported as working. Any other ideas on how to fix the touch pad?
Hello
In my opinion you should try to use external mouse to see if this occur again and again. Believe me on this way it is not easy to say why this happen.
Maybe there is some hardware problem but it must be tested. If you preinstall the unit with recovery CD the unit will be clean and on this way it is not possible to say that some additional software has any kind of influence on this. -
Touch Pad Just Stopped Working Completely
Hello this morning my Sony Vaio fit 14 (Model Number: SVF14N13CXB) touchpad just stopped working all of a sudden. No mouse pointer, nothing! Luckily I have a bluetooth mouse. I reinstalled the driver and still nothing. I even did a system restore and still nothing. Could someone please help me with this? Thank you Bounce P.S. I have had this laptop for 7 months (bought it in January of this year - 2014) EDIT (Update): I shut my computer down and left it for a while. Turned it back on and my touchpad is working again. I don't know how, but I am thankful. I did a restart when I was having the issues but that didn't solve anything. the shut down seems to have solved it.

This problem started in the last 24 hours.
I've tried completely shutting down my laptop and restarting, but the problem remains.Hi AM_Kidd.
Thanks for your reply.
I have done a complete uninstall and re install of iTunes and all related apple programs from my laptop through control panel, add remove programs and also by going through program files and deleting all tracers of any left over folders remove programs may have missed.
My apologies for forgetting to add this in my original post.
Thanks again -
I can not scroll through web pages with the scroll feature on my touch pad. It worked in 3.6 and all other programs that I use. I have tried 4.0 twice with the same results, I've restarted, rebooted etc.
This should not be application dependant but a system function.
Now I will either roll back to 3.6 where I have troubles with some secure sites or just dump the whole thing and try Chrome.I have discovered the solution and it involves an issue I suspected. After the restore of my old Time Machine Lion files to my new MBP running ML, the restore restored my computer back to Lion. After an install of ML, my computer worked perfectly except the fancy Scroll and zoom featured we all love from the trackpad. Ha already installed ML on other partitions and the trackpad worked perfectly on them. Even the guest login's trackpad worked perfectly but not the main admin account.
First thought was to create a new admin account and copy everything from the old admin to the new admin and then delete the old admin account. Hated the idea because all files had to be copied rather than moved.
So what was left to do. I had thought of deleting all the apple preferences from the library and replace them with the contents of the library on another partition in ML. First I deleted old preferences many of which were old Lion preferences. That didn't solve the issue.
I forgot that Lion and ML HIDE the user library so I was working on the wrong library. Discovered the Terminal command "chflags nohidden ~/Library" and I chose to reveal the user library on a ML partition.
Solution:
I booted into another ML partition. I guess that I could have booted into the new admin user account and changed the permissions to access the old admin users Library But I chose to boot
from another ML partition: copy ALL the com.apple. XXXXX.plist files and the folder BY Host. It has special hidden files. Other way is to copy the Preferences folder we'll say into the Desktop.
I then proceeded to delete ALL the com.apple…….plist files and the Host folder into the trash. Then I copied all the apple.com…plist files and the Host folder and then rebooted. And now my wonderful Trackpad works as mountain Lion intended it to work.
I'm leaving this solution because there's someone else in the MacWorld with the same issue.

since updating to firefox 09 my scroll feature on my touch pad doesn't work. How do I fix this, please? I have a Gateway laptop. This has never happened before with other updates.
Thanks so much!!Thank you so much for your link - unfortunately it is totally beyond my skills to understand or correct the bug as posted. I can find the touchpad icon and right click to open the options and that's about my speed. If this is a bug should I uninstall Firefox 9? Thanks so much...

The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.
The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working. The volume doesn't even register - can't turn it up or down. On occasion the headphones will work when plugged in. Turned it off and on, tried reset, nothing works. I bought it second hand so no AppleCare. What can I do?
Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer. First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

BTW, sometimes the keyboard can not working suddenly.

Best wishes, any idear will be welcomed.
Thanks in advance.Hi Epco_yangchao,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
As per the query we understood that you are facing an issue with Touchpad on your ThinkPad T440p.
Boot the system in safe mode and work for a while to confirm if it is working in safe mode.
Uninstall UltraNav application for Control panel – Program and feature option and restart the system and check if you’re able to see any adapter in Device Manager under Mouse adapter.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Hemanth Kumar

Equium A200-1VO - touch pad doesn't work but external mouse does
I had a problem with my hard drive not working this just happened over night so I replaced the hard drive no problem and rebooted the system.
All is ok but the touch pad will not work.
I have tried FN+F9 this is ok I have updated the touch pad program still not working.
Please HELP!!!To determine if its an hardware issue or a software issue do the following...
1) go into bios (f2) and set it to default settings and save
2) insert toshiba recovery cd and wait till the menu appears
You should be able to move the mouse inside the recovery GUI, if it doesnt move then try holding function and f9 again.
If this still doesnt work then your touchpad could be faulty.
*Note* dont start the wizard to recover vista because it will overwrite your data, just cancel this if the touchpad works under this.
If not just turn your laptop off and remove the recovery disk.
