HP 520-1165a TouchSmart desktop PC, touchscreen random takes control of the cursor

When you "touch"touch screen, a small diamond seems to take the place of the mouse cursor, correct."

I have a problem with my PC, if the cursor of the mouse is in use, the touch diamond screen will be "pop up" and take control of the cursor at random intervals, interupting what I was doing at the time, or automatically the link located in the center of the screen at the time of opening.

The "pop up" diamond is always in the same 2 places, for the most part, dead center of the screen, but occasionally also appears at the bottom left of the screen by opening the menu of windows automatically.

In this case the on screen keyboard tab also appears on the side of the screen.

By clicking on the mouse takes control back to the mouse cursor, but it gets very frustrating because it can occur more than once in an hour and becomes increasingly more regular.

I had this same problem about a year ago and was covered by my warranty from suppliers, but it took 6 weeks for delivery - repair - return of my PC and I don't want to wait that long again. They had to reinstall my whole system and all information, downloads etc... have been lost. Fortunately I got the majority of my backup files, but it was still a pain to restore all when it's obviously a problem with this PC.

I love my HP PC and no other issues with performance. It's my player of social media, my music player, my movie player, my full entertainment system, and this insidious problem is purely a gene.

I very rarely use the touchscreen function, is possible to dissengage this feature to possibly fix my problem?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Yours Sincerely

Phil ward.

NB: Yes, I cleaned the screen, and no, it's not a random flying insect, activation of the touch screen (although this happens :-))

PS: It has happened twice while compose this letter.

    Hello

    I have a HP TouchSmart 600-1120 Desktop PC, and I want to disable the click of the scroll of the mouse wheel, so it only scrolls up and down and is not clickable. The click is so sensitive, it's difficult to scroll without accidentally clicking the wheel.

  • My built-in webcam on my HP Pavilion TouchSmart desktop computer will not work on all programs, online or offline and will not display on my computer.

    My built-in webcam on my HP Pavilion TouchSmart desktop PC, product #: FK935AA-ABG, model #: IQ515a, does not work, that is to say, it does not appear on my computer as a work/usable/functional/real webcam. The green light next to the real webcam above the screen doesn't flash or turn on (there is no light indicating that it is not on). I don't know how to activate it or make it work. On Windows Live Messenger, the name of my webcam does not appear on the drop-down list, and I want to know why it does not appear only on MSN but Skype, HP TouchSmart, YouCam and other online and offline programs.

    Using an IP191 monitor, have random horizontal stripes on the screen - have no problems with other browsers. also no problem with FF on the other PCs on the family.

    These "streaks" seem to be the domain of the high frequency analysis; they can be eliminated by scrolling upwards or downwards.

  • iBook randomly started playing when the phone is turned off

    Just noticed this with the upgrade to iOS9. The phone is off (i.e., black screen, but still able to receive phone calls or be activated with PW or digital), and iBooks starts reading my audio book. We then see the iBook controls in the lock screen. No one touched the iPhone 6.

    Does anyone else have this problem? Suggestions to prevent it from happening would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    Maybe it's not a specific question of iBook. My iPhone is not actively running - sometimes even just sitting on a table across the room to anyone - lights sometimes at random a random application without apparent reason. (This is especially awkward when he phones random random contacts!) Or, as you say, starts playing audio.)

    I don't know what causes it, and I didn't notice all the reasons for this behavior. I think if the phone was turned off in fact he wouldn't do this, but that sort of impact at the point of having a phone in the first place.

  • Satellite L500/087 - "grey spiral" appears on the cursor randomly

    Hi all

    I recently bought a L500/087 and have found that once a "gray spiral" random appears on the slider and so accidentally right click on the cursor at that time, it minimizes the screen.

    I was wondering if this has happened to someone else, or if someone knows how to solve this problem.

    See you soon. Emma

    Hello

    Do you use the portable computers touchpad?
    If Yes, please check if this would happen using an external mouse.

    I think that touching the touchpad with two fingers at the same time it would cause.
    This is a feature and is called * pinch zoom * and can be disabled in the control panel with a tick in a box!

    AFAIK you could disable the option in the control panel-> mouse->-> settings (or properties) pointing device
    There you should find the Synaptics touchpad options

  • Satellite M30: random characters came on the screen even when installing

    Hello

    I have problems with my Satellite M30. It shows random characters or signs on the image. Other than this computer works well. I thought it could be virus, because I can see the Toshiba and the fine Centrino Logo, it starts happening during Windows loading.

    So I reinstalled it but random characters came on the screen even when installing. If anyone can advise what this could be?

    My thoughts are either bad graphics card or a Ribbon of a cable LCD screen mobo.

    For me it also looks like a GPU malfunction... what you is to connect the external monitor to the laptop. If the same strange signs, characters will be visible on the second screen while the GPU is defective...

    Well, it would be the worst case, because the whole motherboard must be replaced in case of malfunction of a GPU chip...

  • Pavilion Touchsmart 17-e123cl: reading a VOB file on the disc is pixelated and its so strange, but from the dvd is ok.

    Hello

    I have a laptop of 17-e123cl Pavilion Touchsmart with installed PowerDVD12.  If I play the videos from the drive VDV plays it very well, but if I copy the DVD to the hard drive and try to play there the image has a lot of large blocks and horizontal bars in the picture and the sound is messed up.  Since the HARD drive is a 1 5400 to disc it should be even faster than the DVD player, but it looks like that is the question.  Is there any other driver that I need to get things working correctly from the hard drive?  When I travel, I can't bring DVD in some countries, but the movies on the hard drive are not a problem (normally).  Same thing happens if copied to a flash drive.  Any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Rick

    Hello

    Yes, this is the problem because they are two different file systems/structures. Normally you rip the DVD to a correct video file format and view on your computer. Please try:

  • All programs list - moved shortcut on the desktop, but want to add back to the list of all programs

    I moved a shortcut from the list of all programs on the desktop.  I would like to keep the shortcut on the desktop, but also restore on all programs.  How can I do this?  I tried drag-and-drop and Windows Explorer without success.  Topic is not found in help.  Windows XP Professional SP3.

    the visual office includes folders and you can copy the shortcut via Solution Explorer.

    simply right-click on the Start button and select open.

    Explorer opens on the behalf of users.

    If you look closely, you will see a folder called desktop.

    find the shortcut, then copy.

    Find the folder of programs all then drill down to the subfolder you want and paste the shortcut in him.

    You can also use the above method to organize your desktop.

    Incidentally, do not play with the admin folder or all users.
