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.

Touch pad and keyboard not working!

Just the other day while my computer was starting up i took a tissue and started to clean it. Then the password screen popped up. I typed in the password and started to browse the web. After about 1 minute, my touch pad and keyboard stopped working! I tried to restart the computer and it did nothing. I then restored the computer to this morning ( the update my computer did while it was turning on also the time i was cleaning it. ) and it still did nothin. Please help with this problem, right now im using a USB mouse and a on screen keyboard!
I am using a HP pavilion g7 running windows 7 and AMD a6 vision.
product key: P9BXR-F3G4G-HQD6J-XBMJP-93QKT
please help me
BTW i did press somekeys while cleaning the laptop.

Yes I installed the right drivers before trying to dual-boot with Linux. The issue was there from the beginning. But the issue appears only after 1 or 2 hours of use. It was mandatory for me to install Linux, for my studies. So I hope it doesn't break the warranty, because it would be unfair for people who need to do what I did.
The problem is that I am right now in Finland, but I am French and I bought my netbook when I was in France. So if I send it back to HP France, it will take weeks and weeks to get it back here, and shipping cost will be really expensive, and I will be without computer during several weeks, which is impossible for me as I need it for my studies. That is why I want to go to HP Finland and ask them. I know I could call them but the last timeI called HP France, I waited for hours and didn't get any answer on the phone.

When I upgraded to Firefox 7 I lost my ability to scroll using my ultraNav Track Point or my UltraNav Touch Pad on my Lenovo Thinkpad.

When I upgraded to Firefox 7 I lost my ability to scroll using my ultraNav Track Point or my UltraNav Touch Pad on my Lenovo Thinkpad. I can still scroll on Internet Explorer or in other applications. How do I fix this?
Thanks,

Thank you for a super fast and helpful response!
It took me a few attempts to get it right. Last time I tried it I got the card id wrong.
For others: I created the following file
/etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
with the contents
options snd-hda-intel id=Generic1 index=1
I rebooted. I accepted the KDE prompt about devices being removed. I unmuted everything with alsamixer again.
Sound now works in VLC (audio settings to default) and Firefox, and also in both at the same time. Kmix also works as expected when I set the Master Channel to HD Audio Generic. Headphones jack also works.

LAPTOP TOUCH PAD AND NUMERIC KEYBOARD

I want to turn off the touch pad and I want the numeric key pad to work.

Hi Trevor6050,
I would like to welcome you to the HP Support Forums!
I see that you would like to turn off your touch pad and turn on the numeric keypad. I can help you with both of these requests.
For the touch pad here is a YouTube video that will walk you right through turning off your touch pad. How to Disable the Laptop Touchpad in Windows 7
For the numeric keypad, here is a document for How to Use the Numeric Keypad on Your Laptop with very straight forward steps on how to enable your numeric keyboard.
I hope this information helps, please let me know how it goes.
Good luck and have a great day!

It may well be a driver issue but considering the loading: Xorg trying to load different drivers is somewhat normal. @cafe you can see that these are autoconfigured by X above the loading in the log:
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 0
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched intel as autoconfigured driver 1
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched modesetting as autoconfigured driver 2
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched fbdev as autoconfigured driver 3
Jul 20 19:48:24 arch gdm-Xorg-:0[216]: (==) Matched vesa as autoconfigured driver 4
As long as one of the drivers gets loaded, which it apparently does the failing of the others is fine.
Was there an update maybe ?

Sorry, the newer panels aren't backward compatable with the current generation of machines.
You could simply buy a new Thinkpad !!

Ideapad S400 left touch pad and clicker not working

I've had this device for less than a year now, and all of a sudden the left touch pad and clicker are not properly working. If i try to click on something sometimes it doesnt work. I've tried about anything I can think of to see if it would help and so far nothing is working. Now let me mention that it doesnt happen all the time sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt.

Only use 7 days, and my touch pad and keyboard is broken

High Price and Low Quality.
My Macbok Air 2011, I brought in Aug. 2011 on Apple Store, was broken. After checking by apple engineer, touch pad and keyboard is not working.
From 9/17 to date, my computer is still repairing and I cannot use it.
I think apple should compensate this and extend my warranty...........
After this, I think apple already lose the credit for me. If I can return for this goods, I would like to return my AIR and get my money back.
The Macbook air waste my time and let me very very unhappy now.

Touch pad and mouse

My Microsoft wireless mouse and my laptop touch pad are not working properly. Example: when I click a link in an email, I normally would left click & the link would open. Now, with both devices, I must right click the link & choose the open command, which isn't that big of a deal but some links won't open with any kind of click. It would correct itself if I did a system restore, but restore doesn't work anymore because my computer had a vius. I have uninstalled & reinstalled, drives are up to date. I have checked the settings for both, normal right hand set up. Am I missing something? Any help would be greatly apprecciated.
Thanks,
Kate

Hi @surlygirlie,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
It is an awesome place to find answers and information!
For you to have the best experience in the HP forum I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide Learn How to Post and More
I grasp that you mouse and TouchPad are not functioning correctly as you have no left click on either. You have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and checking the settings but no change.
You did state you are unable to do a recovery as you had a virus and is no longer available.
I would check again for viruses and malware just to be sure.
Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool.
Although this is not a recommendation many people have used Malwarebytes for removal of unwanted software with much success.
Windows 8 has a new option which does reinstall your Windows and should leave your personal information.
HP PCs - Refresh Your PC to Resolve Problems (Windows 8)
Before doing a refresh, I suggest you do a backup just to be on the safe side.
If the issue remains, I would do a recovery back to factory.
HP PCs - Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8)
If you did not previously backup your data, you will notice an opportunity to do just that during the backup.

Keyboard, Touch pad and battery are not working.

I cannot turn on my Macbook (10.4.11) without the power adapter connected. The keyboard does not work nor does the touch pad. I've searched the forums for anyone else with this problem, there are similar instances but mostly related to Leopard. I'm having to use an external keyboard and mouse to continue working. Looking for fixes.

DV4-2049 brand new out of box...
The left click will not work to highlight text, copy, paste.   The tap and rt click, window pull down, work fine.
Funny... the story matches all of you.   Wanted to remove/install driver, I suggested we look for issues first or ck the dates of drivers.   Seemed to hose my EXPLORER window and speed.   Then the bios change and I said should we ck the dates/Revs and we moved forward.   No reading of fix, or this has been issue and I asked many times is this a issue.   I also saw this on the store demo unit when I was cking them out. NO REPLY.... wish I looked here first and pushed to talk to tech/svc manager.
Phone help tried to take over my computer and link/web would not work it failed!!
Tech also wanted me to do system restore and I declined.   I replied I have not loaded anything yet, only updated Norton and did a little web searching, windows update, HP update.   I also looked at the pad and button settings ... found nothing I missed.   I called them incase there was odd box/set I missed.   I hate being lied to, they know from I am reading here... two threads so far and 2-3 people on each.    I did not want to restor.... nothing is changed.... do not want to exersise the Hard Drive.   Asked her to research problem and find the fix... rather than just keep changing stuff.   The bios was flashed for the same bios rev.
While doing this work with tech.... the pointer went to top and not moved from top right.   The parts of screen starting to flash, the curser would lock, IExplorer got very slow... to 30 sec to load the internet page vs 2 sec
I also just found..... you can switch the fuctions of rt/left button and still copy paste.   But the left button will not pull down the pull down windows.   What a mess!
You can go to system information and print of your currrent list of soft and hard.   That will tell you what is up todate and what is not.

Zen Touch: problem with touch pad and formatt

Hi guys!
I have a Zen Touch 20gb but I'm experiencing big problems with my touch pad: it really doesn't work fine, precision is almost none, to poit the desired voice in any menu I have to work hard. If the menu is longer it is almost impossible to navigate it with precision. I can't move of a single position, it jumps at least two... Is it a common problem or should I take it to be checked up?
2nd problem:
I was trying to format the player's HD. Instructions said press play botton and contemporarly reset hole.
But nothing happens. When I release the system reboots.
Any idea?
Thanx!
Gp

Please be patient with the touch pad. Reading these boards, I think a lot of people are not really understanding how the touch pad works and assuming it's defecti've and returning the Touch. First, set the sensitivity to where it's best for you. If you can't move only one line at a time, you may have it set too sensiti've. Second, use your index finger, not your thumb. Then, practice moving around. For me, it was really easy to move rapidly through the choices or to move just one line at a time. But moving at medium speed always tripped me up, until I figured out the technique of repeatedly stroking the touch pad through the slow zone to move several lines at a time, just like you were using a scroll wheel.

Satellite P750 - touch pad and internet connection not working

Touch pad stopped working a few months ago and now can only get internet via the modem. Apparently need a new driver.
Where do I access this and how do I get the touch pad working again.

Hello
At first check what is the status of all hardware components (WLAN, LAN and touchpad) in device manager. Be sure all components are installed properly.
All necessary drivers you can download from Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/dow...ivers_bios.jsp
It is not easy to say what is wrong with touchpad. Be sure the touchpad is enabled properly.

My MacBook's built in touch pad and keyboard is not working.

Hi.
Am using a MacBook. It was working perfectly before i plug in a Non Apple USB standard keyboard
into it. when i did that,an error occurred like "please pressing the just after the Right Shift Key Button"
but there was not such kind of button on that keyboard.so i pressed the Shift key instead.
it works that time,but after some time i discovered that,my build in track pad and build in keyboard
stop responding permanently. Now i have to use my MacBook using both USB mouse and keyboard.
Is there any way to fix it?? If there is,would someone please help me,PLEASE!!!!
Here is My systems Detail-
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 800 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MB41.00C1.B00
SMC Version: (System): 1.31f1

I don't have an answer, but have suddenly developed a similar problem. Early today we got a new Verizon FIOS router to replace an older one. Once the tech fired the thing up and we got everything in the house logged into it, I noticed that my iPhone 4S wifi speed was mighty low. Using the Speed Test app, I was getting a wavering average of between 4 and 7 Mbps. Even on the old router I was usually getting 20-30 Mbps. I checked all the other devices in my house and noted all were getting at least 25-35 Mbps--including my wife's iPhone 4S, my kids iPod 5, and our iPad 2. The wired Windows desktop gets more than 60 Mbps and the wireless laptop gets more than 40. I tried all the tricks on my iPhone--restarting, forgetting the network and the resetting it, and even resetting all of the network settings. Nothing gets me any faster, yet my wife's iPhone 4s blazes away at 25-35+. I even went into the router and played with disabling WMM and switching (briefly) to b/g mode. No luck. Finally, I decided to take out the new router and put back the old one--the verizon tech was nice enough to leave the old one with me--but my speed did not increase one iota. I'm stumped. It worked fine two days ago, and all of our other Apple devices (including an identical iPhone 4S) are fine and run at super speeds. What happened to my phone?
