Touch Screens and Touch Pads in General Sometimes having Irratic response

I found with the phones I am using, and also with the touch pad on my laptops, and with any touch pad or touch screen technology, they can have issues with scrolling and sometimes with typing, especially of the person's fingers are moist or may be a bit oily. I worked out a solution that has been working with me. There is a wax on the market called ArmorAll. I simply moisten a tissue with this wax and wipe the surface of the screen. Take care to use only enough, but not too much that it can run in to the phone or device. Apply it like a thin wax. Wait about maybe a minute or two and then wipe and buff it off.
Now the surface will not be able to have a humidity layer from the ambient air. If the user's fingers are a bit moist they will have a lesser effect to have false or irratic changes on the screen. I found this also works very well with computer touch pads.

Actually thats what I was thinking....i dont know which app though...i have all the same apps that I had on my old phone. But it almost seems like it is trying to process something when it starts doing that....So I was thinking the same thing just dont know which one it could be.

Keyboard and Touch-Pad Not Working After Having to Install New Hard Drive

I had to install a new hard drive in my HP Pavillion DV9700t that has Vista Home Premium 64-bit. After going through the recovery process with backup disk the built in keyboard and touch-pad do not work. During the installation, an error message came up saying something along the lines of "the drivers are not supported by this verison of windows because they are unsigned." The drivers that had that error were "hpqkbfiltr keyboard filter driver," "HP remote control HID Device," and "hpqkdfilter driver." I tried to update the drivers for the keyboard from the hp website, but the keyboard and touch-pad still do not work.
My question is, where do I find the digitally signed drivers for the keyboard and touch-pad that Vista won't flag and disable?
Help please!

Sparkles,
Thanks for the suggestions.
When dealing with MS Fix It, I was choosing run. Upon further investigation on that site, there really isn't a scan that applies to my issue anyways I tried the .NET Framework repair tool, and that seemed to work. It told me to try re-running what I was having issues with, so I tried running the Windows PowerShell again, but again was faced with the following message "windows update standalone installer encountered an error: 0xc8000247." I went back to the .NET screen and hit "Next" because it didn't work, and that responded by saying they were going to submit logs to Microsoft. I won't hold my breath on that one.
I'm to the point where I honestly don't care anymore. I have no idea what to do, because doing a clean install with the discs HP sent me isn't going to help because they are just recovery discs, and not an actual Windows disk. This is the second hard drive I have had to put into my laptop and use those recovery disks on in the last 3-years. The built-in keyboard hasn't worked during that time frame on either hard drive. I don't think the recovery disks I was sent install properly. Not sure where to go from here. I spent way too much money on this laptop years ago having it custom built to handle all of my drafting programs, so I don't want to just kick it to the curb. I was looking into the possibility of just replacing it, but I cannot stand the Windows 8 interface.
I guess I should have fixed the issue with the keyboard on this hard drive before loading all of my programs. Between the recovery disk install, formatting of the hard drive, and installing all of my programs it took well over 12 hours. Not really looking forward ot that again Then there's shockwave and flash and all of the other goodies that my recovery disks won't restore anyways.
Sorry if this seems like a negative post, but I'm just tired of trying to no avail. Maybe I should just take it somewhere to get it looked at, but I can't see them being successful if the recovery disks won't help anyways.
Thanks for you help,
MadBuch

Start up issues with T707, lit black screen and directional pad.

Hi,
I really need some help with my T707. I'm currently getting a black screen when I turn it on, and it won't advance further. The directional pad lights up, and it just stays that way. What can I do, is there anyway to reset it? Whenever I take the charger off, it is no longer lit, and I have tried a couple of batteries, and they don't appear to make a difference. I've tried restoring factory settings, but I can't get it to be detected by my PC.
Thanks in advance,

If you can't run the update service or use it in any way, then it's time to contact SE.

I have several issues since I upgrade to mavericks 2 weeks ago. Graphic Artifacts on screen and trouble with the finder (sometimes not responding). .

Imac 21.5 pouces, mi-2011 - 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 - 4 Go 1333 MHz DDR3 - AMD Radeon HD 6750M 512 Mo - OS X 10.9.1 (13B42)
Everything was perfect before (when I was on lion). Now I have problems with mavericks (like many other people) and I regret my upgrade ... I hope Apple will provide system update to correct all this.

One thing I consider interesting from your post is that you are not using the OS X Mavericks version released in the Mac App Store last month. Instead, you are using the OS X Mavericks Golden Master, which is 13A598. The final OS X Mavericks version is 13A603.
Looking at this, the best thing you can do (as you said) is to reinstall OS X, so you can get the final OS X Mavericks version. As you are going to do this, this is the best time to erase the hard drive.
You can reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery (holding Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up). Erase the hard drive with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Then, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. Your Mac should be working properly.
Make a backup of your files before erasing the hard drive. I recommend you to copy your most important files to an external drive and restore them manually, apart from reinstalling all your applications manually.
Apart from that, I see that Firefox is taking up 1 GB of RAM on your Mac and that you have only got 291 MB of free RAM, which may be the issue

I just upgraded to 9.0.1 and when I use my touch pad to scroll down or up a page the page jumps to another tab. How do I remove 9.0.1?

I am using a MacBookPro, OS X 10.7.2. I am unable to use the touch pad to scroll without having the page jump to another tab. This is annoying and the only way I can navigate any more is to use the scroll bar on the right side of the page. I would like to remove the most recent upgrade, any ideas on how I can do that?

When you upgraded, itunes should have put a copy of the itunes library database in a folder named *Previous iTunes Libraries* . If you upgraded itunes today it will show as
iTunes Library 2010-02-28.itl
Use these directions to get it back

Since I am not sure of your setup, look for the "Previous" folder on both your C: and F: drives.

Most of the time when I turn computer on I get the white screen and question mark. Sometimes it will turn on and work but often the spinning disk starts and especially when opening Iphoto and it generally freezes

Most of the time when I turn on the Mac I get the white screen and question mark appear. Sometimes it will turn on and work. But often the coloured spinning wheel starts up especially after trying to use iphoto it freezes and a couple of times the screen has then gone black. The computer seemed pretty warm yesterday when this happened.
Any suggestions of what I should do to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

Difference Between Logical Screen and Active/Physical Screen

Hi All,
Could someone tell me what is the Diffrence Between Logical Screen and Active/Physical Screen and what is the reason for having two screens instead of one.
Thanks in Advance,
Joseph Reddy.

Hi Marilyn,
Thanks You. I have found the answer to this.
All,
If you go to the SPRO>Logistics Execution>Mobile Data Entry-->Define Screen Management. Here you have two screens one is Logical Screen and another actual Screen and a program associated to this.
Here the Logical Screens are used within the program and Actual screens are the screens which are visible to the User. The Link between Logical and actual screen is present in the table T3130C. Program recognises logical screens.
Now suppose say certain functionality/create new transaction code for RF Device is not there in SAP and you want to Include/Create your own code in any of the User-Exits. Then you have to rename the actual screen to 9***. So that the system recognises the change in the screen and related User-Exit is executed.
Hope this is Clear.
Thanks & Regards,
Joseph Reddy.

Yoga 2 Keyboard not working, but touch pad and touch screen fine

I've lost the use of my keyboard, but not the touch pad. Restarting and converting to table mode and back doesn't correct the issue. Thoughts? I'm not sur where to go from here. Could the keyboard be physically dead?

You should test the keyboard in the BIOS menu and see whether it works.
1) Press on the recovery button (next to the power button, you may need a small screwdriver).
https://www.flickr.com/photos/lead_org/11617761143/in/set-72157639007378054
2) Then there is an option menu for entering recovery, bios, etc.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/lead_org/14512183979/in/set-72157639007378054
Use your keyboard and see whether it works in that option menu. If it doesn't work then it is a faulty keyboard.

Key pad and Touch pad not working.

I can really use some help. I was working on my laptop last Friday when I received a Blue Screen of DEATH. Now the Key pad and Touch pad are not working. I rebooted the system... ,nothing. Updated the drivers again...NADA. I even re-formatted and re-installed The OS. All to no Avail. Is there hope or bury it?
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes electrical components needs to have all power sources removed and reintroduced to work properly. Try performing a hard reset first, if it doesn't work then we'll move to the next step.
To Perform A Hard Reset
Shut down the computer by going to the Start menu and selecting shut down. (If you have no display, hold the power button down for 5 seconds); (if the computer doesn't power on, move to the next step)
Disconnect the AC Adapter from the notebook.
Remove the battery from the bottom of the notebook. There will be a switch/button to eject the battery.
Wait at least 1 minute with all power sources disconnected.
Re-insert the battery and reconnect the AC Adapter and then attempt to power on the notebook.

UltraNav touch pad and Windows 8

Hi!
A few months have passed now and I've become used to Windows 8. And now I am missing a touch screen ...
However, I am really wondering why the integrated touch pad works so poorly (in general, and especially with Win 8). MacBooks should be the benchmark there - is it really that hard?
I know that I can configure loads of options for the touch pad (UltraNav), but it still won't be smooth and will neither replace the finger swipes on a touch screen. Am I missing something? What are the best practices to use the touch pad with Windows 8? Or is there a touch screen available indeed?
Regards.
Ben

you can disable it in your bios menu.
Otherwise you will have to install the ultranav drivers.

Jin Li

Touch screen and pen/stylus stop working - Helix

Note taking with my new Helix is unbelievably frustrating! It's Windows 8 Pro -- fully updated (Windows and Lenovo drivers and apps). I am using Microsoft OneNote 2013. The problem is regular locking up or freezing of one or the other of the touch screen or the pen / stylus. Sometimes the pen still works, but fingers on the touch screen have no effect. Other times the the touch screen works, but not the pen. I'm not 100% certain that it's limited just to OneNote, but that's where it's guaranteed to happen. I can "fix" the problem most of the time by putting the Helix into sleep mode and then waking. Other times I have to shut down and restart. During a two hour session this will happen a dozen times at least. This makes it nearly unusable. Rob

Just got this Helix for a test-drive and I'm already having problems with the stylus/touch. I can't quite tell why, but after working with computer as a tablet for a while, the touch turns off. Then, if I pull the stylus out of the pocket 1/2 inch or so, the touch turns back on, then about 30 seconds later it goes off. Then, if you pop the stylus back into the slot all the way, the touch screen is fine again for several minutes. Over and over, i'm finding the interplay between touch and stylus to be a bit quirky. Maybe it's the machine i got or maybe it's a general problem. I have had the exact problem with the touchscreen not working without fiddling with the pen in the socket (put it in, take it out, touch it etc). Do you have the task bar on the left hand side? I've had diffiuclties with the digitizer, can't use the bottom or right of the screen for example. I'm wondering if still detects that the pen is near it. If I see the problem again I'll be trying the task bar on the right side. If that doesn't help I have to assume a broken switch in the pen holder / bad digitzer. Neither of which is good on a 2500 chf machine, especially one with what seems to be a warped tablet or base (still have to measure that).

CD, SD card reader and Touch pad not working

Hi, I have a mid 2009 MacBookPro. Some months ago my touch pad started to play up, it works sometimes but does not let me move screens around etc, then my SD card reader stopped reading any SD cards, I have tried pushing it in a number of times, I have attempted to use it with iPhoto open, no joy. Now my CD drive is not working and does recognise any disc I put in. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on????
