• Satellite C50 - B - 11 L - erratic Touchpad

  Hello

  I have a Tosh C50 - B - 11 L for only 2 weeks (to replace an old Tosh Satellite L300, which was very reliable).
  I want to throw it away, due to the response of the touchpad. It will freeze or no reagent, erratic, will ignore the taps, etc. Causing destruction at the sites where the cursor is not where he appeared to
  be. And is extremely frustrating, as I am simply unable to use the laptop to its potential.

  I got the latest driver of momentum. I see that this seems to be a problem, that does not seem to be addressed properly by Toshiba.

  Any suggestions? Could I delete the drivers of the momentum and always have a touchpad to work?
  Or should I forget it and buy a hardware mouse (which rather defeats the point)

  Thanks for your suggestions (I did the F5/F9 nothing helps stuff)

  Looks like in there was no one else here for awhile. My question will likely go unanswered as well.

  Personally, I think that the touchpad, that you got was made at 3:30 Friday afternoon, recently classified computer of someone with exactly the same type of problems. Turned out there, it was nothing of evil to his computer, it was the wireless mouse get funky.

  But there is another thing that is interesting to watch too, she is part of a tutorial to help Google Desktop, I wrote and it may be relevant to your problems as well. Remember, when you go through this process to empty all the fertile Toshiba as well waste and let Windows itself handle all these functions, you will discover quickly that Windows is not all that slow after all.

  Mods - please do not hesitate to use all or part of the following as a sticky thread, it will really help a lot of people.

  Shamefully, this forum does not allow attachments and has a limit of characters on the message size. Ok. Simply means that I have to split the text on 2 positions. Starting to remind me of my troubles with getting a new BIOS.

  Background programs

  It is the most common problem with Windows, programs running in the background. Some programs such as your antivirus software must run constantly in the background so that they can check all files that it is open and make sure that you're not everything to trigger a virus. Some programs will be set up to run in the background so that when you click on the icon to start the program, it seems to start quickly. But most just start in the background so that it puts their logo in the taskbar next to your clock.

  All of these programs, and there are usually dozens of them, use main processor and the RAM in the computer to run so you have run the slower your computer gets. Many of these programs are poorly written and very often interfere with each other and with the Windows system, this can make Windows start behaving oddly, perhaps that the Office will not open, maybe the internet will work all kinds of other problems.

  The solution is simple, we stop these programs from starting when Windows starts. Should remove all programs, just to keep them from starting automatically, you will always be able to start one of them by double clicking on their icons. Windows built into the program to do this, it's called MSCONFIG. Just of type msconfig in the search bar of program and click it to start it.

• HP Pavilion DV7 laptop: Touchpad, sometimes active, even when the power button is pressed on off (light orange)

  I use a wireless mouse (or a wired mouse) preferably instead of the touchpad.   The touchpad has a power button to press - white light indicates on and off Orange light.    After booting, I usually disable the touchpad and mouse wireless, however, sometimes when you type I realize my palms are contacting the touchpad and the cursor jumps around accordingly.    The touchpad is disabled (orange light) but I can control it with a finger, it works like its supposed to as if it is enabled.     Any ideas?   I have not downloaded a driver updated or do anything to try to solve this problem, as I fear, it could actually cause other problems.

  Update the driver it is the usual Council for problems - that is the solution here?   Has anyone else had a similar problem.    Most of the touch pad problems I've read is in regards to an erratic touchpad - nothing to do with 'on' or 'off' problems.

  HI @WayneCM,

  Thank you for your inquiry. I will do my best to help you!

  I understand that you use the power button / stop to turn off the touchpad.  Sometimes, you will notice that your palm is in contact with it and the cursor is accordingly jump around but the rest light orange, to show that he has disabled.  Here is a link for HP Notebook PCs - using the touchpad and ClickPad (Windows 10). Please review the section on "Open the properties of the ClickPad" in figure 4, you'll see there's a button where you can disable the touchpad, until you want to reactivate it. Please let me know if this helped.

• Satellite L40 15G - Touchpad behaves erratically

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 laptop 15G, and recently, I am aware that the cursor has not correctly when using the Touchpad.

  That I usually use a mouse with my laptop with absolutely NO problems, I do not know how long the touchpad works wrong.

  According to the specifications of the system, the speed controller is labeled Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad, 10.0.3.0 Version.
  Well, it is the last in use, because since I have detected the anomaly, I tried a lot of Synaptics Touchpad drivers with no result.

  However, I have tried this [workaround | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Keyboards-Touchpads/Solved-Synaptic-Touchpad-not-working/m-p/272949#M10565] and the Touchpad seemed to work properly. But for just 30 seconds after the startup process in Windows environment?  :|. After that, the cursor slowly begins to act erratically.
  After a second reboot, the slider have the same erratic behavior as before, using the touchpad.
  In Safe Mode, the problem is the same.

  The only way to recreate the same "normal" cursor using touchpad behavior done this workaround mentioned before.

  Note: in all cases, the buttons on the keypad two touchscreen works perfectly. If the mouse USB.

  Can someone give me some clues to solve this problem?
  Thank you very much!

  I guess that your touchpad module his/her.
  The solution described seems to be only a time option in case the touchpad would stop working due to some problems in the system.
  But in your case, it looks like a hardware problem.

• Synaptics touchpad - erratic cursor behavior

  On my Compaq Presario CQ56 (Win7 64 bit) sometimes, the cursor jumps around erratically, usually to the top of the screen that I try to move the cursor down. An external mouse, it works very well. I have the latest version of the driver (15.1.6.64), and I fiddled with the settings of control without result Panel. Sometimes it works fine and I tried to correlate the time that it is wrong with everything I do when this happens (for example if it happens after the laptop has been for a long time) but no luck so far (and in particular, it may happen now, I open the lid or after 10 hours of use). It makes no difference how hard or soft as I press, whose fingers are used, if the rest of my hand is far...

  I also discovered something interesting. In the device settings page, the edge Motion option is disabled. However, under region Motion edge there is a diagram that shows where your finger on the touchpad. Under normal circumstances, the position of the finger is correctly reported, and the mouse cursor also moves that I have spend my finger. When the cursor is wrong, touch the top of the touch pad shows that he thinks that my finger is down. Left and right movements are traced with some degree of accuracy. Because I move my finger down, it suddenly jumps to show that my finger is on the top. Put it down, and yet once it pops up. Meanwhile the mouse hardly moves at all, which seems to indicate that the driver don't is not the operating system to generate messages of mouse movement.

  Any ideas?

  In desperation I completely uninstalled the Synaptics driver, and I now have a touchpad that follows actually just my finger instead of developing its own ideas to dominate the world. It was a bit of a struggle to convince Windows 7 (which has also its own agenda to dominate the world) that I wanted to remove the driver completely, but now I'm using the mouse Microsoft PS - 2 vanilla driver has nothing fancy features which I never use and which seem only to lead to complications, Synaptics bug code and a lot of grief for their unwitting victims.

  Before I uninstalled the Synaptics driver, I continued my comments and noticed that the touchpad seems to work reliably after a restart, until I right click on it. I could imagine that, and I'm certainly not trying to confirm leaving a team of Synaptics software geniuses near my machine again for some time. Still, someone else could benefit from observation. You never know.

  Serve and enjoy, Synaptics.

• Touchpad became erratic on laptop COMPAQ 2000.

  The touchpad has become erratic during use - the cursor does not move exactly as you wish. As repair is expensive, I bought a mouse. But still, when you type, if the touchpad is hit by accident, then as everything can get it done - for example, highlighting a group of words, movement, arrow page, etc. So, I would like to know if there is a function or any other means on this laptop (Compaq 2000) key to toggle the touchpad. TouchFreeze was proposed, but it doesn't sove the problem.

• Behavior erratic mouse/Touchpad on Inspiron 15 5447

  I had my laptop for a little over 4 months. I mainly use a wireless mouse with him... and every so often the mouse will have a mind of your own. I can be typing or even try to use the mouse and it will start to jump around on the screen itself... by selecting things... even of switching/Mobile windows as if buttons are pressed as well. At first I thought that maybe it was interference with the touchpad... so I tried both disable touchpad when external mouse is connected... and disable the touchpad altogether and the problem persists. So I thought that maybe the mouse is the problem, so at some point when he wents nuts on me, I turned it off and opted for the touchpad... but the erratic behavior continues. The only thing I can do about it is to restart... and then things are usually fine for several days before the question starts again. Any thoughts on what the problem maybe, or troubleshooting tips?

  
  It worked - DELL has a terrible touchpad - there is a hardware ONLY problem affecting the series 3000, 4000, 5000 and 7000.  I bought a protective screen of the dollar for a dollar store, it worked where all software solutions had failed.

    Hello world!

    Like you I had the same problems touchpad. At first, I thought it was ESD and troubleshoot-made for a few days. Finally, I concluded that he had nothing to do with the EDD and passed questions possible pilot. I installed every driver package I could find, modified, off driver signature in order to install OEM drivers, used Windows 7, 8, 8.1, Ubuntu etc... but in vain.

    Early on, some kind of physical problem seems to be the most logical. The question was just what! I couldn't believe that synaptics could do such an aweful touchpad which was incapable of actually at work. I did support arguing that the question must be caused by something small. During my last clean install of Windows 8.1 I noticed that the default windows caused the touchpad driver is EXTREMELY sensitive. You will notice that once you install the latest driver from Dell the cursor movement calms down considerably. The touchpad is still extremely sensitive, the driver is just take the raw input all that and generalizing it in a cursor, easier to manage. Conclusion, the touchpad is too sensitive.

    I compared this premise with my previous experiences and found much support each other. My touchpad would typically be panic after a lot of 2-finger scroll or a large number of movements of gesture.  Indeed, it would stop work entirely if I blew warm breath on her. Conclusion, I need to desensitize the touchpad on and protect... but how!

  In my first attempt, I simply took the touchpad transparent and entirely covered with packing tape. Don't expect anything I ran my finger on it and revealed that the movement of the cursor is estimated much more controllable. I used it for 30 minutes like this with only a few minor problems. (My touchpad STILL freaks out in the first 15 minutes, so for me it was a big deal!) I asked a little more layers of Ribbon downwards and the feature kept getting better and better. Since I was best performance with several layers of tape and because the transparent packing tape is not look glued to your laptop I wanted to find a better solution. I needed a plastic resistant thick that I would stick to the surface of the touchpad and has no need of me to use many of the layers. Conclusion, use plastifieuses 3 m plastic.

  On this second attempt, I disassembled the laptop and removed the touchpad of the palm rest area. I used a tampon Magic Eraser with a little water and very little SOAP to clean the surface of the touchpad. After that it was clean and dry I cut an oversized square piece of plastic lamination and placed the touchpad upside on the sticky side of the plastic. I then took a razor and carefully trimmed the excess by tracing around the edge of the touchpad. The result was a piece perfectly sized plastic on the top of the touchpad. I reinstalled the touchpad in the palmrest and reassembled the computer. (Please note that there is some tape of ground wire to the back of the tablet that should be reapplied during installation.)

  I use it like this for 3 days now with ZERO problems! I hope that Dell takes knowledge from this post and comes up with a real solution. The black surface of the touchpad is itself just plastic glued on the circuit of keys using an adhesive. It seems that the simple solution would be for them to replace it with a more robust piece more thick. One thing I noticed is that the 3 m plastic is tougher than the original surface of the touchpad which makes it difficult to slide your finger over it. When I started my finger continued to jump on the touchpad which caused the cursor to jump around, however after a few hours he smoothed out nicely. You can have better luck using a different plastic as a screen protector of mobile phone since it was designed to have the fingers touch.

  in any case, I really hope that this helped you guys. I was just as grumpy as you on this subject and I still think that Dell OFFICIALLY must do something about this problem! (DELL TAKE NOTE!) In the meantime, I hope this allows you to you guys and running and able to enjoy your laptop once more! Good luck!

  

• Spectrum 13 Ultrabook: Erratic cursor on touchpad

  It is impossible to use the touchoad as the cursor disappears after a short time, sometimes 'stuck' in the upper right corner, flashing like it is gone crazy or out of sync and then you cant open new applications since its automatic reclosing - weird Weird touchpad cursor behavior! Does not recall questions on win 8.1 (before the upgrade to 10). I tried tons of change settings touchpad - nothing really helps. It seems that there is a big problem here that needs to be resolved by HP. I tried all settings / old drivers and all that stuff... nothing helps.

  @Thebenzinator
  
  Thanks for the reply with the details,

  If the computer is in warranty, they should be able to repair or replace defective parts, however, the computer will remain the same.

  What we must do now is to wait until recover you the computer to the HP repair center and everything should be taken in charge power off.

  Let me know if you need more help,

  Kind regards

• touchpad Windows laptop 8 erratic @# $% ^ & *!

  Hi I have 2 laptops for Dell Inspirion same model same material. Both at the same time strange have the same key issues. The cursor behaves as if he's stuck in the glue, but it barely moves.  You can swipe your finger across again and again to move a few millimeters.  This can take 20 sweeps of a finger to move half an inch. The touchpad can sometimes go out on its own, but not always. Sometimes sometimes is to restart the computer help does not work. However, the laptop may not question for 6 weeks and then the problem reappears.

  The laptop is about 1.5 years old. When it was under warranty Dell used a program called, "Click to Fix" which seemed to fix it, but since I reinstalled Windows 8. Click on repair becomes idle after the end of the support call.

  If I plug a USB mouse into the laptop the slider works perfectly. If I disconnect the touchpad mouse fate sometimes is the question.

  I've updated the drivers for the laptop including the mouse & keyboard set no problem.

  In the Device Manager, select the computer, right click and choose "search the hardware changes.

• Equium M40 - cursor usually frozen - Touchpad very erratic

  My cursor seems to freeze when the laptop is turned on for awhile (heat?) and then suddenly works again after days and days of frost. Have reinstalled the drivers (which worked for 24 hours), sent to Toshiba last week who has reinstalled everything and it worked again for 24 hours only, has been slain for worked days and now it suddenly after all the frozen screen and he would answer no to the keyboard either so I had to turn off at the power button but I have done this before and it didn't work before - WITHOUT RHYME or REASON. This is a brand new machine. WHAT CAN I DO? It makes me mental.

  Hey richie

  It's not easy to say what exactly is the problem. Maybe your unit switches to hot?
  It is also very important, that this laptop should be free of any objects that can cover the ventilation openings. There should be place around the unit so he cans "breath". Sometimes can help to update BIOS. You can also change the performance of the processor and method of cooling of the unit in Toshiba power saver utility.
  Maybe it helps.

  Best regards

• How to lock the scroll bar and several tabs to prevent them from scrolling erratically

  I have upgraded to Windows 10.
  Now the fireplace (Yes, it's the latest version) scrolls top down in erratic Web pages.
  I can't control the right scroll bar.
  Even after clicking on it or by moving up and down, either with the use of the touchpad, arrows and arrows at the top / below the scroll bar itself, it moves just everywhere anywhere on the page.
  The same thing occurs when multiple tabs are open. They scroll left and right erratically.
  Help! It's the most boring, frustrating and time consuming.
  I have already searched several forums and blogs, disabled the auto-scrolling and scrolling soft, all to nothing will do.

  On my system, the mouse pad has a mind of its own. So I opened it from the
  settings and OD "disable when mouse available.» No problem now.
