Elan Touchpad problem, after Windows 8.1 unsuccessfully

I recently updated to Windows 8.1 and noticed that my features Elan Touchpad not working at startup and the dynamic icon was missing from the toolbar.  I went into the settings 'mouse' in the control panel and noticed that the driver was still charged.  More interesting still, after hitting OK, the dynamic icon appears and gestures worked.

Of course, I tried to update the drivers of the momentum, but after that, I noticed that the gestures were different, and specifically, missing four fingers gestures to switch in between the desktop and the start menu.  For this reason, I uninstalled the driver and tried to return to the old with four finger gestures.  Any time I tried to install the older driver, however, installation would break and the system would be self-repairing return to the former State of Windows where the characteristics of momentum Touchapd was missing until I loaded the menu of the mouse and click OK.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem, in addition to placing a shortcut on the desktop to make it easier to load the menu 'mouse' in the control panel?  Is there another available driver where to work the four finger gestures?

Yes Yes. The updated driver works fine . Thank you for the fast support!

What I did:

-TouchPad_ELANTECH_11.6.4.001_W7x64_A.zip uploaded

-In the Device Manager, under "mice and other pointing devices, right click on" Port of PS/2 ELAN Smart-Pad "choose uninstall. Dialogue in the "confirm device uninstall", box ticked the ' remove the software driver for this device "and press OK. Restart the laptop.

-Unzip TouchPad_ELANTECH_11.6.4.001_W7x64_A

-Launch the Setup.exe in TouchPad_Elantech_11.6.4.001_W8x86x64 (which is in TouchPad_ELANTECH_11.6.4.001_W7x64_A)

-Restart.

The momentum (dynamic) pointing device icon appears in the system tray as it did before you update windows 8.1.

  • Satellite U400 - PSU40E Synaptics touchpad problem after the recent update to BIOS

    Toshiba welcome,

    I've tested this in reverse, this is why the statement in the subject as it looks. After upgrading the bios of 3.00 to 3.50 touchpad loses its precision. Very rude and useless its like that.

    I tried different drivers, everything, but the only way to really solve this problem was it downgrade to 3.00 OR uninstall the driver Synaptics completely. Second solution, unfortunately, is unacceptable, because then I lose some features, like click on contact, which I don't use and control.

    Best regards

    Wojtek

    Hey Buddy

    I U400 and the BIOS has been updated to the newest one.
    The touchpad works like a dream. I m using Win XP and Vista and there is NO problems after BIOS update!

    In your case, this may be only a software problem and I think you can use the Toshiba Recovery disk and could reinstall the whole OS from the Toshiba drive

    It is a really radical solution because the whole HARD disk may be formatted, but if the resettlement of these two drivers touchpad didn t help then I think this would be the last solution.

  • Problems after Windows Update on Vista wireless

    It seems that other people have a similar problem, but I'll post this new...
    I've been running Windows Vista Ultimate on my Toshiba laptop for years without any problems.  Earlier this year, I started seeing issues after Windows updates.  The main problem is that after updates Windows, my wireless network is is more noticed and the wireless card (which was installed on the computer, and never had problems before) is not recognized.  I manually installed updated drivers with no luck.  The only thing that has worked is to do a system restore to a point before the updates.  The problem seems to be related to an update in general, I can't uninstall.

    I find it extremely ironic that I have no problems with Vista until Windows 7 is launched. First of all, it's the wireless card, then a problem with a driver graphics card (apparently... which seems to be fixed now) and return to the wireless card.  Should I expect to continue to have problems unless I upgrade to Windows 7?  I can't continue to spend half of my day trying to fix my computer after an update that is supposed to fix the errors, but I don't like the feeling that I am forced to upgrade.

    Hi dabaum77,

    From your post, it seems that the issue was occurring when Windows updates are installed automatically again even after the restoration of the system and that is why I suggest to restore the system again to a point before the updates and download and install Windows updates manually.

     
    Access the link below
    Follow these steps to disable the automatic updates:
     
    1. open Windows Update by clicking the Start button. In the search box, type Update, and then in the list of results, click Windows Update.
    2. in the left pane, click on change settings.
    3. under important updates, choose the option you want.
    4. under recommended updates, select the Give me recommended updates the same way I receive important updates check box, and then click OK. Need administrator permission if you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    Install the updates one by one and check the update is causing the problem to occur. If the problem persists due to a particular update, repeat the process and refrain from settling the problem causing the update to.

    You can also check the update problem in Windows Update history.
     
    Follow the steps to check which day caused the issue:
     
    1. open the control panel (all items view), and click the Windows Update icon.
       
    2. click on the link to view update history.
      
    3. to view the details of a single Windows Update-
    (A) select and right-click on a Windows Update list, and then click details.

    (B) click on close when finished.
     
     
    You can also uninstall the update that is causing the problem to occur, although it is not recommended.
     
    1. to uninstall a Windows Update, you must go to programs and features. There are several ways to find it. One of the simplest is to use the search box on the start menu.
     

    2. in the programs and features, click the link updates installed.
     

     
    3. after a few seconds, Windows Vista will load the list of installed updates. Scroll down the page until you find the update you want to delete, select it with the mouse and then click on uninstall.
     

     
    4. Windows Vista will ask you to confirm that you want to uninstall the update you selected. Click Yes and the uninstall process will begin.
     

     
    5 depending on the size of the update, the uninstall process may take from several seconds to several minutes.
     


    6. wait for the window above will disappear and, if necessary, restart your PC. The update is now deleted.

  • Printer problem after Windows XP updates on 06122013

    Title updates: Windows XP original on 06122013

    Updates of Windows XP on 06122013 seemed to make me lose contact with printer HP LJ1200 and had to perform the restoration of the system to 06112013 do work again. The printer is set up as a parallel device, running on Port DOT4_001 (according to article of Port in the properties of the printer) and was removed in the LPT1 Device Manager and computer rebooted and reloaded LPT1.
    Tracking the whole Troubleshooting MS system under properties and nothing seemed to allow printing, so I restored the machine on the eve. Now the printer works.

    Computer is a Xeon E1395 of double a ASUS PC - DL Deluxe Intel

    Everyone still faces a problem of printing with the new updates?

    Hi Michael,

    I see you got a problem with printer HP LJ1200 after installation of updates recently offered from Windows update.

    What exactly happened when you were trying to print after the recent updates? Have you received an error message?

    Thanks for the sharing of information when you perform a restore as solved the problem.

    This issue would have occurred as a result of updates related to the printer or the additional updates to the hardware device connected to the computer. Sometimes, when these problems occur after Windows update, we should always check the specific updates that have been installed right before the problem occurred. In this way, we can identify the update that caused the problem.

    As the problem does not persist now, I suggest you to download and manually install the updates individually to determine the exact cause of the problem.

    Please let us know if you need help on this question.

  • Touchpad problems with windows Thinkpad Yoga 12-10

    So I had this 12 Yoga for about 3 moths now. Last month, after that I installed a new update of windows, the touchpad and the trackpoint would not work, as it has been disabled. I tried to uninstall the driver and then reinstall - did not work. I even reset the computer. STILL DOES NOT WORK. So I ran the Verifier who told me that one of the Lenovo products had problems with it - I know more what one - so I uninstalled. Still did not work.

    After all that, I tried again to uninstall the synaptics drive. When I uninstalled it... He was always there! I don't know how, but he was always there and now the touchpad and trackpoint two works. Well, sporadically. It will work for a few minutes, then will not work for a few minutes (or more). Then. It is where I am now (actually, right now, I'm writing this, the trackpoint is oop nvm. work it stopped working).

    Any thoughts on how to solve this problem? Thank you!

    Also, when the touchpad & trackpoint, windows buttons are more condensed, so that when it does not, the buttons are more spread out (see links below).

    "Digest".

    "spread".

    PS also, computer person seriously dragging when you press the CapsLock key? So, which turns off the keyboard for a solid 7 seconds?

    I THINK I SOLVED THE PROBLEM THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

  • Touchpad problems with Windows Vista, HP Pavilion dv7

    For some time now, I had problems using the touchpad on my HP Pavilion dv7-1260 mobile.  When I press the left button of the mouse, I have the menu that is displayed when you press the right button of the mouse.  I changed the settings on a million times and I reinstalled the drivers, but nothing seems to work.  Maybe I need to change touchpad sensitivy or something, but I don't know how to do it on Windows Vista.

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.

  • Photosmart B110a: eprint problems after Windows upgrade 10

    The printer lives in my office, plugged into a Mac.  My laptop connects wireless to it.  You use Windows 7, the laptop could connect to it as a network printer via the Mac, which required that the Mac be turned on, or directly using eprint, requiring only the printer.  After upgrading to Windows 10 I re-installed the printer as a network printer and everything's fine but eprint does not at all.  I downloaded the latest version and I get a 'eprint + Jetadvantage' device in my list of installed printers, but if I select to print anything it either nothing happens.  The call to the top properties of the printer shows an error message saying "eprint driver is not installed on this computer.  You want to install it now? ».  This leads to a "pilot Add Printer Wizard" which lists a driver of HP eprint.  Try to install this product a message that I am about to add the following driver "HP ePrint, x 86, Type 3 - User Mode" but nothing seems to happen and I still get the missing pilot error.  I uninstalled and reinstalled several times without success.  I ran the HP Scan doctor and print, but it can't even connect to the eprint printer.

    Any notice received with gratitude.

    Hello @Ticfan,

    Welcome to the HP support forums.

    I understand that after upgrading to Windows 10 that you can no longer use the driver ePrint.

    The first thing I want to address is the "ePrint + Jetadvantage".

    It is not the driver ePrint have you need or want. I will not go into too many details about it, but it's a commercial product and the Photosmart B110a is not supported. It would be best to uninstall this piece of software.

    The following link will take you to the correct driver.

    You can select 64 or 32 bits depending on your operating system.

    HP ePrint Software

    I'm curious about something. How is the printer is not on a local network with other devices? How is it, you chose to go through the Mac? Why not have the printer on Wifi and having the laptop connect without having to go through the Mac? Maybe I'm missing a part of the installation, but this seems more complicated then it must be.

  • Problems after Windows update.

    A rift developed with our computer after an automatic update sometime in the last 3 weeks and installing windows explorer 8. Often the screen turns blue and displays the message "Kernel_stac_ inpage_error". Since the update and installation of windows explorer 8 the computer starts and stops is very slow. After the white screen, the computer automatically runs a disc consistency check.

    1 uninstall whatever it is named NORTON as well as LiveUpdate via Add/Remove programs.

    2. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  • long-lasting problems after windows scammersr had remote control of PC

    I got Asian male phone call to the effect that I had serious problems with a virus on my computer. He claimed to be the appeal on behalf of Microsoft Windows. Is not not in computer, I followed a number of directions to him which eventually led to him have the remote control of my computer. The number of callers evil disguised alarm of "oh my God" etc the alleged problems he has discovered and when the purpose of the payment was raised, I ended the call. The call lasted about 40 minutes, and he had the remote for about 5 minutes. It seemed to me that it was associated with a site named PC technocrat. My fear is now that he can have some future remote access or caused other problems that I have not yet thought.

    Unfortunately, once you give someone the remote control of your PC, they can do whatever they want.  There is no way for you to know what they did or did not.  You must assume the worst - they left behind software that allows them to take control of your system and/or take all the information they want it without your knowledge, and that they took any information they wanted while being connected.  Then contact the banks and other institutions in finaicial you do business with and take steps to protect your accounts and your credit cards.  Next would be to save only essential or element files and documents such as photos, music, etc and then destroy your computer and restore to factory new.

  • ProBook 640 G1: Audio HW buttons problem after Windows Installer 10

    Hello world.

    Last week, I upgraded from W7 to W10, installed all the drivers from HP and upgrades all the buttons and then the keys fn + hardware configurations worked as expected.

    Today I swapped HDD with SSD and installed a clean W10. Yet once with all HP drivers, including sp71790 Hotkey support and support wireless sp71707 button.

    Now the wireless button keys fn + f9/f10 and fn + f6/f7 works as it should, but rather:

    -the works of Mute speakers button (speakers get mute and screen popup confirmation appears) but still, it stays white and is not orange when muted. It's infortunate because mute State speaker is missing.

    -does not work microphone mute (fn + f8) and signalling led on the button turns on. (The microphone itself works, but she's not get dumb).

    These features worked flawlessly in W10 when upgraded to W7. In the new facility, that they do not.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you.

    PROBLEM SOLVED

    Audio chipset on my G1 640 is audio IDT high definition.

    Unfortunately, it seems that no updated drivers are available after 2014 - win8.1

    I just took and installed the IDT audio driver in the list of drivers for the G1 640 win8.1.

    Now, all the keyboard shortcuts work properly and a panel of additional audio control with various features and functions has been added.

    Win10 instead by default installs a sound driver of 'High definition' of Microsoft which is probably a simplified version of vanilla with no improvements, but the most important is not well interact with HP quick access keys.

    HP should get aware of this and direct customers towards using the old win8.1 IDT, not the driver Microsoft.
