Aspire V3 - 771G - bugs for the Elantech touchpad driver

Hello

I noticed something strange with my touchpad, namely, when I move my mouse and press a key any of the keyboard (except the keys SHIFT, Ctrl, and Alt), the cursor stops, and I have up my finger and move it touch down again to resume.

I also noticed that tap-and-hold drag does not work well, sometimes I have to do 3 times more and end by clicking the physical button, I've ever had to do on any laptop.

In this case with Windows 8 and the latest drivers downloaded from the Acer site Elantech.

This isn't normal behavior, I went and replaced the Elantech driver with the generic Microsoft driver "mouse Compatible PS/2". After that moving the mouse worked as expected and tap-and-hold shuffling worked great, but vertical scrolling with keys did not prevent the cursor in its tracks the band side stopped working, but also typing with two fingers (for middle click).

At the end of the day, I returned to the driver Elantech, but it drives me crazy it allows to work with graphic design software a nightmare...

Can we count on an update of the driver to fix these bugs? Or did someone knows of another driver for this tablet that works as expected? I don't like gestures and all other options, but I expect the scroll and strikes to work with two fingers.

Hello, after a lot of frustration in this touchpad that bugs seem to have finally been resolved and I also found a way to configure a few options hidden and thought I'd share them here, so that others can benefit as well.

Launch RegEdit (Windows key + R) and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elantech\SmartPad. If you're afraid to play with the registry, you can save the key and restore it later if you encounter problems (or simply reinstall the driver).

Some configurations are:

1. two fingers tap = Middle-click: set the value of Tap_Two_Finger_Enable 1 and Tap_Two_Finger 2

2. three fingers tap = right click: set the value of Tap_Three_Finger_Enable 1 and Tap_Three_Finger to 1

These are the two that I was absent since I got my laptop, and now I'm finally completely happy with it you can try other options as well and please let us know if you find something interesting.

---

Please, unless it works for me with the touchpad Windows 8.1 driver downloaded from the Acer driver download page, I didn't test other operating systems (except Kubuntu 12 years and +, who works out of the box this way).

  • G780 keyboard does not work, but ONLY if the Elan Touchpad driver is installed.

    I have a bad surprise today--unlike other manufacturers, which offers one year free tech support, Lenovo does not. $179 for a contract or $89 to cover an isolated incident. Thank you, guys. :-/

    Here's my problem.

    G780, bought last October. Upgrade to Win7 Home Premium Win8 Pro.

    A few days ago the integrated keyboard has stopped working. It works in the BIOS, but when you start in Windows, Windows does not recognize it.

    There is a PS/2 keyboard driver and device keyboard HID that appear in Win8 Device Manager. I guess these are the drivers for the built-in keyboard. If I plug in a USB keyboard, it appears in the device as an additional device keyboard HID Manager.

    By trial and error, I discovered that the keyboard still works fine when the Elan touchpad driver is not installed. The problem with THAT: I can not disable the touchpad unless the driver is installed, and if the touchpad is not disabled, it will screw me up because I accidentally brush my hand against the touchpad while typing.

    I also noticed that sometimes the touchpad in the system tray icon with a WARNING icon overlaid on top of it (you know, the little yellow triangle with exclamation point). I can't understand why, and I can't understand what has changed on my computer that caused the keyboard to stop functioning properly.

    I tried uninstalling the Elan touchpad driver, download the latest driver from support G780 web page and put it back. No luck.

    I make do with a USB keyboard at the moment, but I really need this problem is resolved.

    Thanks in advance.

    So I had uninstalled the drivers of momentum earlier... yesterday I tried to reinstall those supplied with the computer.

    At least the keyboard worked now, but the drivers have not been properly disable the touchpad when I plugged the mouse.

    Then I hit Fn - F6, not really thinking that he would do anything, but it fixed the problem.

    I would have but the pilot would have overridden some setting I put with Fn - F6, but... maybe not.

    Problem solved.

    And further,

    1.) is it possible to reinstall windows for one SSD?

    2.) I get all venus applications (application of VGA, Audio application etc.) from Dell with my laptop with the re-installation of windows... ?

    Thank you

    If your system already has Windows installed and activated 10 follow my instructions here to directly download and reinstall clean Windows 10:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-10-OEM-and-retail-ISO/

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-Windows-10/Windows-10-clean-reinstallation-via-bootable-USB-from-ISO/

    Looks like you're in this scenario.

    Note Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 editions are specific. If your system came with Windows 8.1/10 unilingual homepage, Windows 8.1/10 will not be activated.

    Unfortunately there is no clear marker for end users to determine the edition so my advise is to try first to try Windows 10 Home, if she does not activate Windows 10 unilingual homepage.

    Get a SSD for optimal performance.

    Dell have updated drivers for Windows 10 pilots (WT64a) system:

    http://downloads.Dell.com/published/pages/Inspiron-15R-5521.html

    See installing the driver recommended order:

    http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/2015/09/27/driver-installation-order-Windows-10/

    If Windows 10 was not enabled you must reinstall Windows 8.1 and then upgrade. Follow my instructions here:

  • Digital signature is required for the AVG filter driver, I had to disable AVG filter driver to connect to the internet.

    Hello

    Apparently, after the updates (don't know where exactly), a digital signature is required for the AVG filter driver. I had to uncheck AVG filter driver in network card to connect to the internet settings. Now the AVG firewall has stopped and the Windows Firewall is enabled.

    Does this mean that AVG is not compatible with the new updates?

    Hey Deiry,.

    Why don't disable you driver signing in Windows 7 and you would be able to use the AVG firewall. Take a look at the section of the Web site.
    See you soon!

    Hi Nils

    12.1.3 WebLogic jdbc libraries are located in the MW_HOME/oracle_common/modules/oracle.jdbc_12.1.0 directory level.

    For this WLS jdbc driver is ojdbc7.jar which is loaded on startup of WLS.

    As mentioned on the post preceding this is is not compatible with the 11.1.1.7.3 MapViewer to display the ORDIMAGE. Seems that even the ojdbc6.jar that exists in this directory cannot be used.

    What to do is make the WLS Server uses the ojdbc6.jar for 11.1.1.7.3. There are different ways to use a different pot in WebLogic.

    This page http://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1212/wls/JDBCA/third_party_drivers.htm was noted in this regard.

    As a quick test, you can try to make the ORDIMAGE with the following steps;

    (1) on page MapViewer OTN, Oracle Fusion Middleware MapViewer access downloads and download the quick start for the 11.1.1.7.3 Version.

    You will find the glassfish3/glassfish/domains/Domain1/lib folder a file jdbc ojdbc6.jar.

    (2) on your installation of a WebLogic domain:

    Navigate to the oracle_common/modules/oracle.jdbc_12.1.0 directory

    make a backup of ojdbc7.jar

    copy the ojdbc6.jar on top of ojdbc7.jar

    (3) start Weblogic server and try to make your theme ORDIMAGE.

    As I mentioned before, there are different ways to add a jar to WebLogic classpath. The quick test above is just replace the original ojdbc7.jar in a facility that is not good, as you lose you original ojdbc7.jar.

    Best regards.

  • I need support for the second hard drive on my Aspire 8942 G...

    I want to install a hard drive of diving Bay 2nd in my 8945G and I need a support to hold it in place.

    Uses same medium used for the original HD. Any help to locate one, please?

    I didn't use a drive Caddy to install 2nd HD as my laptop has a built-in space to install a 2nd HD. All I need is a hard drive carrier. This support is no longer available because I contacted all online sources recommended to me and was infomed that the part is no longer available.

    So, I used the original media as a copy and one on the metal plate shaped in the same configuration as the original.

    I managed to do an almost exact replica and also managed to locate the 4 screws that I needed a local repair shop comp. I have now the 2nd HD mounted and it seems to work fine. I have access to my DVD/CD stlii would emit so.

  • clips from library for the FCPX external drive disappear

    First time user FCPX.

    I run an end iMac from 2012 and has been using iMovie 10.1.2 until yesterday.  Just before you buy FCPX, I ran out of hard drive space and got a disk external 4 TB and transferred my iMovie library here.  I've renamed the library external iMovie "iMovie" and deleted the one on my Mac, releasing 500 GB of space.  Tested with iMovie using the external drive, no problem, everything works ok.

    Then, I bought yesterday FCPX.  To have access to all my old clips in imovie, I used iMovie and open "library external iMovie" and used the 'send to Final Cut Pro library' command in the file menu of iMovie.  Everything seemed fine, as I was able to open the library in FCPX and all my clips and events were there.

    I thought everything was great, then I went to add some clips to FCPX of my video camera.  I created a second library FCPX and put the clips.  They have downloaded completely, but after downloading said it was over, my machine froze and I had to do a hard reboot by turning off.  This isn't all that unusual, sometimes my Mac crashes when I leave it alone for several hours.

    After that I turned on and opened FCPX, I see in the left pane, two libraries, and events, but some clips appear on my screen.  I opened and closed the library hoping to get the clips to the rear, without success.

    Any idea what went wrong or how to fix it?  I don't know whether to attribute the problem to computer freezing, or rather the use for the first time an external drive to host my files.

    If I can't understand what went wrong, and then I simply repeat the process I went through the first time and see if I get the same results, but I'd rather figure out what I did wrong and try to fix it, so I have a higher level of comfort, go ahead.   I hope that this will not be an experience repeat everything simply because I'm hosting my video files on an external drive.

    Thank you!

    The problem is caused by the shutdown. You could see if there is a backup in the case of movies, but there are maybe not if you have imported only from the media.

    You cannot use this computer with FCP if hard it crashes. You have to get it repaired. No computer should crash like that unless you pull the plug. If you have problems to get a UPS to give you time to stop.

  • Where is it save to save a photo library? Requirements for the external hard drive

    Apple support documents have been somewhat vague about the requirements for a player welcome photo library.

    It is not yet clear if Photos can run a file system, is not HFS +: this restriction is mentioned only for the system of libraries of Photos, which syncs with iCloud (https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht211de786)

    By default, your system library is stored in the folder of images on your Mac, but you can move it to another location on your Mac, or store it on an external storage device. However, to use iCloud services, the external storage device must be formatted using the format Mac OS extended (journaled), also known as HFS +.

    But it is experiences during the migration of libraries, that Photos cannot migrate libraries iPhoto or Aperture libraries to a photo library, if is not filesystem HFS +.  It will try to create the library migrated on the system drive instead (probably because he can't create links hard disk) and generally not running out of storage.

    Apple less did today, confirmed that he is not sure store of the photo library in a synchronized cloud storage, see: update to iPhoto to Photos for OS X - Apple support

    If you store your photo library in a place that is part of a Cloud Computing service (for example, Dropbox, box or Google Drive), your library might be damaged by the synchronization process. So, you might lose photos.

    To see your photos on all your devices, you can use iCloud photo library. To back up your library, you can use Time Machine.

    I still have not found supporting documentation, that clearly indicates if a library of Photos can be stored on a NAS. If it cannot be used as a library of Photos of system.  For the opening of libraries or libraries of iPhoto, the recommendation of Apple was clear: use locally mounted volumes extended, Mac OS X for your Aperture library

    Does anyone found a similar document for the Photos?

    Is it possible to store original files referenced on iCloud by car or in a box?

  • Pavilion 550-306no - for the 2nd HARD drive expansion slot?

    While thinking about replacing my old HP tractor, I browsed around the shop online for a possible new unit;

    Seems there is a box called Pavilion 550-306no, sold here in Sweden, which could meet my needs.  However, does anyone know if there is room (or not) for a 2nd HARD drive? Seems all the guides of the old user on how to develop yr PC in the forum of textbooks have been nuked.

    Concerning

    Hello

    The Specifications for the 550-306no indicate that it is not put into service for a disk hard 3.5 "2nd.  Review the information in the computer case.

    Some models will allow a 2.5 "HD or SSD to add.  See the image below.

    According to the amount of space available between the existing hard drive and the motherboard, you might be able to mount another HD using 3.5 media ".  Those that I had recommended in the past are now $40 (ouch).

    the other features work well.

    my laptop is pavilion g6-1150sx

    First, download the installer of the Synaptics driver on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    Driver Synaptics - Windows 7.

    Driver Synaptics - Windows 8.

    Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click on the entry "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and choose uninstall.

    When this has completed, restart the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder, click with the right button on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.
