Change in the sensitivity of touch-pad on the HP Pavilion dv7

Hello

I have problems with the sensativity to my touchpad, which seemed to start occurring after only a windows update on a week ago. My touchpad is now ultra sensative and I only need a glance eye a hand on it while typing and either the cursor moves and reposition in some random text, or things will be accidentally open etc. etc. I also noticed that the buttons left click and right at the base of the touchpad have now exchanged in functions, IE left click now acts as the right click and vice versa (what happened also the mouse after the update, but that could be fixed).

I entered the "Control Panel" and searched under the 'mouse' - but there is no option of adjustment of the device, or whatever it is to deal with an issue related to touch.

I noticed that there is a problem with a few other users, which has been fixed by downloading the latest version of the Synatpics software. However, I'm not too sure that my laptop is using this software - I can't find "Synaptics" under my "programs and features".

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! The details of my laptop are as follows:-

HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
Product number: XB100UA #ABA

64 bit

Windows 7

Hello

Synaptics is listed as the driver software for your laptop, so first of all, try to download and install the latest version of the present on the link below.

Installer driver Synaptics.

If it installs Ok, restart the computer, and then see if you have the options to configure the device as described in document here.

Kind regards

  • How to change laptop Gateway running Vista touch pad sensitivity?

    I have a laptop Gateway running Vista.  My problem is that when I try to use the touch pad, the screen jumps all over the place.  As if I was scrolling up or down very quickly.  Any ideas? Thank you

    * original title - help help my screen jumps *.

    Hi M.MARRIN,

    ·         If it works much earlier? If so, then remember to make changes to the computer, after which the issue started?

    If you run your finger vertically down the outer edge of the touchpad and then the scroll bar will be activated. If you do not want to use the scroll bar or if you want to reduce the sensitivity of the scroll bar, then you can try to modify the settings of the mouse. Take a look at the following link for more information or take a look at the manual that came with the computer and check how to change touchpad settings:

    Change the settings of the mouse

    I hope this helps.

  • Touch pad issues on nine Pavilion x 360

    I just bought a brand new HP Pavilion 13-a010dx x 360. After a few days the lower part of the touchscreen Tablet felt loose, especially on the left hand side. From the beginning I had problems with the mouse jumping around, Windows restore, change the size of the screen etc. I played with the sensitivity of the touch pad, off settings by attaching masking tape and all the gestures with multiple fingers, but it still occurs. It's really frustrating because there are less than three weeks, I bought the laptop.

    I have to get the touch pad replaced?

  • Impossible to add an external monitor or adjust the brightness of the screen: Pavilion dv7-4031TX (Windows 7)

    Hello

    I recently replaced both hard drives of HDD2K12, which meant I had to re-enstall Windows 7. Since that time, I have no options more in using an external monitor or even the brightness of the screen. The computer does not recognize the monitor when I Plug and all my drivers are up to date.

    Can you make suggestions that could help to solve these two problems?

    Kind regards

    Peter

    Thanks to find the links but I could not find the drivers I need for a Pavilion dv7-4031TX.

    However I finally managed to fix the problem. Let me summarize what has been my problem.

    (1) I could not adjust the brightness of the screen by using the function keys f2 and f3.

    (2) I couldn't find the brightness slider if it was generally... i.e. (control Panel\Hardware and Options of Sound\Power)

    (3) my laptop would not recognize an external monitor.

    How I solved the problem:

    1 > pass.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=ob-95107-1 & CC = in the & DLC = in & LC = on & os = 4063 & Product = 4253423 & sw_lang =

    and go to the graphics driver and download the graphics driver and follow the directions. At the end of the installation you will be asked to restart the computer.

    0nce you have restarted your computer, you should be able to adjust the brightness of the screen using the fn keys or the brightness slider in the window 'power Option '.

    2 > Activting 2nd monitor

    Click on Device Manager... At start-> right click on 'Computer' and click 'properties '. Click on "Device Manager". Now click on "monitors".

    Now connect the exernal monitor to your laptop while watching where the monitor icon appears under "monitors". It should appear as 'Generic PNP monitor'.

    Now, right-click on it and select "update driver software... "then search automatically for updated drivers. Install the new drivers. You should see the generic 'PNP monitor' name change to another name.

    3 > restart your computer. You should find that after doing all this, you should be back to normal.

I checked on the possibility of installing 1 TB and it shows me if you keep to 1 TB 2.5 internal SSD SATA 6.0 GB/s • 555 MB/sec in reading, 500 MB/s write plug, you'll be fine.

    I hope that this address your concerns.

    Thank you.

  • Fingerprinting and display does not work after the recovery of the system (Pavilion dv7 4080us)

    Hello.

    This weekend I decided to do a restore of the system on my Pavilion dv7 4080us (LW170UAR), as I have done several times previously, using the built-in HP and the recovery etc. partition manager.

    Operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and everything worked OK with the new facility, with the exception of two things:

    • I don't see my AMD display driver listed on device listing Manager. Only 'Intel HD Graphics Family' is listed under graphics cards. I tried to download the drivers from the support page, but it doesn't help.
    • The fingerprint reader does not work. I tried to uninstall the drivers and software several times, rebooting and everything else I've seen that suggestions on these forums, with the files found on the support page of my laptop. No luck yet.

    I would appreciate any kind of help. Thank you!

    Excellent!  I am happy that you now have the correct drivers installed.

    Hello

    My name is SUNIL GUPTA

    I have laptop model g4 1305-UA Pavilion, preinstalled OS Win7 Home Basic 64 Bit.

    I was changed for Win 7 Ultimate 64 Bit with clean install.

    And now I want to reinstall Windows 7 64 Basic Home Edition.

    Am that I reinstall with my recovery disks or not?

    and if so please tell me...

    Hello

    You can use the following method to create your own family Windows 7 Edition installation disk basic 64-bit.

    Before you try the following, make sure that you can always read the character product activation key 25 on your label Windows COA (5 blocks of 5 alphanumeric games).

    An example of a COA label can be seen here.

    You can create a Windows 7 installation disc yourself using another PC. However, it not there no download directly available for Windows 7 Home Basic Edition, so you'll need to download another version (one will do, but the link below is for Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - the source is Digital River).

    Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit

    For the key on your label of COA to work, you must now use the method described in the following link to convert this ISO to an all-version Installer.

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/85813-Windows-7-universal-installation-disc-create.html

    Once that is done, use an application like ImgBurn to burn the ISO correctly on a blank DVD - a guide on the use of ImgBurn to write an ISO on a disc is here.

    Use the disk to perform the installation, enter the activation key of Windows on the label of the COA at the request and once the installation is complete, use ' 'phone Method' described in detail in the link below to activate the operating system -this made method supported by Microsoft and is popular with people who want to just have a new installation of Windows 7 without additional software load normally comes with OEM installations.

    You could possibly need for your laptop can be found, additional drivers and software here.

    If you use HP MediaSmart DVD to read Blu - ray disc, try the following.

    HP now provides a version of PowerDVD 10 Cyberlinks which seems to be a better solution.  Download the installer for it on the link below and save it to your desktop.

    FTP://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp53001-53500/sp53029.exe

    When the download is complete, open windows panneau Panel configuration, open programs and features, right click the entry for HP MediaSmart DVD and select uninstall - once this process is complete, restart the laptop.

    When windows has reloaded, double-click the installer for PowerDVD 10 start the installation.  Once this done, see if your Blu - ray disc now plays OK.
