Most likely you're experiencing this issue when starting Microsoft Office (I did too)
Here's how to fix it
1.
Download the 16.3.9.0 driver from here
http://www.station-drivers.com/page/Synaptics.htm
2.
uninstall your current synaptics driver and reboot when it asks you to (your touchpad will still work, just without gestures and it will move slower than before)
3.
Install the new driver and restart if it asks you to
4.
Go to the mouse properties and the synaptics tab and adjust the touchpad to your liking
(here will be 2 devices listed, clicking the settings of one of them brings up manufacturer information, the other will bring up configuration)
5.
No more nonworking driver
just so you know, resuming from sleep will cause the synaptics driver icon to appear in your taskbar even if you have disabled it from appearing there, but it will go away automatically
and also, the 4-finger flick option in the configuration settings will not work, but everything else should
message me if you need assistance

  • Emachines E525 - Alps Touchpad Pointer stopped working

    my laptop's Alps Touchpad Pointer stopped working, but the software shows it as "working properly." Touching the pad or clicking the buttons does nothing though. Restarts and reinstalling the driver has also done nothing. Whats going on? This laptop is only 12-16 months old and the touchpad is already dead? Help please!

    Sounds like you need to get it fixed, not sure how much touchpad fixing cost at best buy. But if its over 300 I would suggest looking for a better brand notebook.

  • HP Pavilion dm1-4000au Entertainment Notebook PC_Keyboard and Touchpad Suddenly Stops Working

    Hi there,
    I have an HP Pavilion dm1-4000au Entertainment Notebook PC (QG411PA) running Windows 7 Ultimate 32-bit for more than a couple of years already. During those times up until now, whenever my laptop is on standby for an hour or so, its keyboard and touchpad suddenly stops working, regardless if its running on battery or on AC power.
    I always ensure that I have an external mouse in order for me to navigate properly and pull up the on-screen keyboard in order to type once that issue arises.
    All appears to be updated in terms of Windows Updates and I even reformatted it, but issue still persists.
    Is this particular issue that I am experiencing a harware issue? Perhaps a software issue? Or maybe a defective model itself?
    Your prompt response is highly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    Led

    It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
    First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
    http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
    If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
    As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

  • CD drive stopped working on my Satellite L

    Hi
    MY CD drive stopped working, but then it recognised a disc which I had inserted, but then stopped working again.
    I have deleted upper and low filters from device manager.
    I have also downloaded the dvd ram driver from toshiba and my cd drive then worked, but after I closed down the computer, again it would not recognise discs in the drive.
    I again downloaded the driver and it then recognised the disc I inserted into the drive.
    However, now my computer will not recognise the drive even when I again download the driver.
    Does anyone know why it would work intermittently or have any ideas that might help.
    Thanks.

    Which satellite L do you have?
    Which operating system do you use?
    Do you use original Toshiba recovery image?
    Is ODD recognized properly in device manager?
    Which disc do you use?
    Do you have this problem using only this one disc?
    Sorry buddy but your description is so general and there is no one single relevant info that can help for better understanding.
    What you can expect are just general answers like:
    -reinstall ODD
    -test with different discs
    -defect ODD

  • Intel wired ethernet driver stops working

    We have this issue with several T400 and T500 series ThinkPads that the Intel ethernet driver stops working after a while. All this started to happen maybe a month ago. We have both 32- and 64-bit Windows 7 OSs.
    Wired ethernet works ok first, but after a few hours or a day or two this yellow exclamation mark appears on the network icon and it says limited or no connectivity. Wired network stops working and there is nothing we can do to fix this other than reboot the computer. It doesn't even shut down properly, just says "Shutting down" forever and blinks the HDD led maybe once a second. So we have to force it and after booting everything is ok until the next time this happens.
    When the network stops working, nothing can be done with the driver because everything just hangs. You cannot disable the connection or uninstall the adapter from Device Manager or anything. Unplugging the ethernet cable does not help either. There is nothing about this problem in the Event log other than about the symptoms of not having a network connection.
    What could be the source of this problem? Do you have any ideas about how to diagnose this problem further? We have the newest driver and I have also tried the newest driver from Intel.

    Go to Local Area Connection (Wired Intel adapter), Properties and the Configure button, in the Power Management Tab UNCHECK "Allow the Computer to turn off this device to save power".
    Window7 does NOT always resolve IP and DHCP when it come out of sleep etc. All attempt to release/renew are in vain. I have seen this on various systems for some time. Occassionally a router reboot fixes it but most of the time is the PC. Frustrating but for Wired use this should always be disabled if you're using it a lot. Power savings is not in your best interest.
    Let me know if that does it.

  • ITunes8 -- all optical drives stopped working

    After installing iTunes 8, all my optical drives stopped working. Windows simply didn't recognize them. Device manager said they were missing. However the BIOS found them. Uninstalling iTunes8 fixed it.
    However, like everyone else here, now I can't return to a previous version of iTunes because it refuses to recognize my library file (a .itl file).
    Argg
    What can I do, to either use an older version of iTunes, or fix this problem?

    I tried the suggested fix on Apple's site (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2372?viewlocale=en_US) but both my DVD drives remained invisible.
    Then I tried the one at MS suggested by Adrian Kingsley-Hughes on his ZDNet blog (http://blogs.zdnet.com/hardware/?p=2600):
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
    Hooray! It worked! Not only have my drives reappeared, but I am burning a DVD right now using InfraRecorder.
    Unfortunately, now I get a nasty message about missing registry data whenever I start iTunes, but I assume Apple will fix this problem in some future release. I'll have to live with it until then.
    I spent hours on this today and almost ordered some new SATA drives, thinking the IDE controller on my mobo must have gone bad. I really appreciate the existence of Adrian's blog and other third party resources!
    And I am very annoyed at Apple right now. Releasing software that breaks peoples' computers in a major way is not acceptable, IMHO. Leaving the bad software out there and posting fixes that don't work is even worse.
    BTW, I am running XP Pro SP2. I have Logitech hardware and software installed, as well as a number of other USB devices (Treo, Canon printer and scanner, iPod) so (according to Adrian and other sources) I guess I was a likely victim.
    Note that, having been burned before by new major releases of iTunes, I was cautious: I held off on installing iTunes 8 until the second release, hoping they'd have fixed any really bad bugs that showed up in the first release by then.
    Silly me.

  • My macbook hard drive stopped working and I loaded another hard drive and can access time capsule but it doesn't show any of my old files and I don't understand why

    My 7 year old macbook hard drive stopped working and I put in another hard drive but when I went to restore my information from airport time capsule it only shows today and nothing older.  Help?

    Did you do a TM backup after you installed the disk? It may write over the previous backup.. but it should actually start a new one.
    Read the info about using migration.. see http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
    Or the Mac is probably looking at the backup as from a different computer.
    See the details of how to use TM to restore to a different Mac.
    Q17 here. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    I would read through 14-17 carefully.
    You should be able to do a full recovery of the TM backup to a USB drive plugged into the computer.

  • Radeon display driver stopped working

    Hi
    I am running Win 8.1 x64 (up-to-date) on HP Pavillion 1322TX laptop. There are  Intel HD Graphics 3000 and ATM Radeon HD 7450M two graphic cards as the device manager window. Recently I am getting blue screens and later message appear saying the ATM driver stopped working. I found many problems with this driver in the past as well. When I check the relevent page for my laptop model, there is no update since 2012. What the hell!
    Can I update these two drivers seperately by getting updates from Intel and AMD sites? 
    Is there any update for catalyst control system (CCC) ? 
    When I try to update through the CCC or HP Support Assist, it is always no updates.
    Can any one please advise me?
    PS. I am fed up with HP and ATM, I wont go for HP again and never recommend for someone elese.
    This question was solved.

    Hi JSHLMS,
    I see that you have some questions regarding the your switchable graphics. You will not want to use the drivers available from Intel and AMD because with switchable graphics it is the manufacturer of the notebook that configures the drivers. Intel and AMD provide a basic driver and HP configures for their notebooks. You can download the latest AMD software package which includes CCC here.  I did some research and found Windows 8.1 versions of your drivers but as your model doesn't have specific drivers I can't guarantee that they will work.  If these drivers don't work then I recommend downgrading back to Windows 8.

  • Driver stopped working (pavilion dv5 1388)

    My laptop froze and a message popped up saying my driver stopped working. Then another message popped up saying my driver isn't working at all. I can't play any games, because of this they do not work properly; they just stop working. Does anyone have any clue on what I should do to get the driver working again? Is there a driver that I need to download?

    Welcome to the HP Forums!
    I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that your notebook froze and you received a message that a driver has stopped working and you are unable to play games.
    Have you tried running The HP Support Assistant to look for HP updates and help resolve issues.
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv5-1388us Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers.
    Have you checked for viruses?
    I would also run a hardware test to rule out a malfunction. HP Notebook PCs - System Diagnostics (F2)
    If everything tests fine and you are unable to install the required driver, you can do a system restore back to a knonw good date. Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 7).
    If that is not an option I suggest you do a recovery back to factory. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
    During the recovery  process you will receive a prompt to backup you personal data. If you have not done one recently, I suggest you do one now.

    I have the same notebook and also lost my dvd drive.  My problem resulted from the nvidia graphics problem.  Google "defective nvidia gpu" if you are not familar with this.
    Mine died three months after I lost the drive, but I revived it with a pseudo reflow method by baking my motherboard @ 385 degres F.  My dvd drive is back and the laptop runs noticeably cooler.
