HP Envy 17: HP Envy 17 Notebook Synaptics click & drag does not work

My Synaptics-click & drag does not work. When I click on an icon it will highlight, then I click on the new icon and drag, and it do not drag. If I manual pushes the lower left corner of the Tablet and make it work. Sometimes it works but 90% of the time it does not work. The problem makes this laptop a laptop of poor and done really click and drag a pain.

I deleted the driver and installed the latest driver HP Synaptics for my laptop than a couple of times and no luck. I even downloaded the Synaptics ' generic driver for win 8.1 "and it's worse. I can see why there are so many people not loving is not this Synaptics click on the button and I would certainly not buy another if this is not resolved. All other synaptics features work except this one.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

REB

Figured it out. My mistake. Must click twice VERY quickly and hold to drag on the second. I have been to much too much time between clicks and it wouldn't hang in the window or icon. Hope this helps others who may have difficulty with this.

  • HP PAVILION NOTEBOOK PC - sound G6 does not work properly, "crackling".

    Hiya,

    The laptop was having problems, so I nuked it and reformat the hard drive and reinstalled Windows 7 64 bit. I downloaded the drivers for audio here - http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-pavilion-g6-1200-notebook-pc-series/5145704/model... I didn't know that was what I wanted for the sound itself for the speakers, so I downloaded each, uninstalled the previous until I had some kind of result, the one who gave me a result was "IDT high definition CODEC. When I click on test in reading, she sometimes plays nothing but another time parts of the carillon will play and cut, in a sort of crackling. Videos YouTube do not seem to want to play either, so pilots himself seems to have installed, but obviously it does not work as expected, so I'm stumped on how to fix it. Little help would be much apprechiated.

    Since I am from a tech background, I think that its in my best interest to give the same kind of help that I would see when I googled these questions.

    Many thanks to @Dvortex who, in a different thread, gave this advice, which totally fixed my problem. I hope this helps someone coming through this.

    Go to Device Manager (you can give a right click on the windows logo on the lower left corner of your screen and select Device Manager from the list)

    Now to maximize the "audio, video, and game controllers" in the list. You will see the audio driver. Right click on "IDT high definition audio CODEC" / "Realtek audio CODEC" and select "Update driver software".

    Choose "Browse my computer for driver software" - choose "Let Me pick from a list of drivers for devices on my computer.

    Select "High Definition Audio Device" (not IDT high def... or Realtek High Def... This is important) and click Next. You get a warning message but answer 'yes '.

    Once windows have updated driver software, try to play the audio again and check.

    My Wifi is not working properly when starting. The F12 remains orange and driver information not available in 'change the adapter settings' as control panel.

    But wifi is to operate only on "restart" and not even to stop it and start again.

    Details of the laptop:

    Hi @DM300 ,

    I would go into Device Manager and uninstall all the drivers for the network card and reboot the laptop. It will install the driver.

    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it. Just run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system, as it has a Wizard installed in wireless.

  • HP ENVY Beats Audio - Subwoofer m6-1231ea does not work

    Recently purchased HP ENVY with beats audio and triple bass subwoofer m6-1231ea

    But how to get the subwoofer to work? By pressing fn + b does nothing...

    Hello @Gurtais,

    I read your post about how you try to get the subwoofer on your laptop for work, and I'd be happy to help you in this case!

    Because the subwoofer is an automatic feature of your sound system, I recommend reinstalling the drivers software and hardware original that came with your system. This can be done by following the steps described in this document on the use of the Recovery Manager to restore the software and drivers (Windows 8). Once installed, please update the drivers by Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8).

    If you are still not able to use the subwoofer after update the software, I recommend to return your system to a previous restore point to where the subwoofer was working. To do this, please follow this document on using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).

    Should the subwoofer still not work with the rest of the sound system, I suggest you perform a backup and restore of your operating system. This can be done by following this resource on the backup of files (Windows 8), and more to perform a recovery of the HP (Windows 8) system. This should help get your system back to factory settings.

    If the problem persists, please call our technical support at the 800-474-6836. If you do not live in the United States / Canada region, please click the link below to get help from your region number.

  • HP 15-f010wm Notebook PC: touch screen does not work

    I have a HP 15-f010wm Notebook PC (ENERGY STAR), and it is supposed to be a touch screen. I used it for about 4 months and the touchscreen operated accordingly. It ended yesterday when I turned on my laptop, the touch screen works not at all. I followed all the troubleshooting steps to restore my touch screen without result. Also, in the PC Info screen, Pen and Touch information shows that "no pen or touch input is available for this view. What can I do to recover my touchscreen?

    * All software and drivers are up-to-date

    * Anti-virus has been on and does a full system scan

    * Does not fall or struck before hand

    Hi _jaspernavarro,

    The next step would be to seek to do a full System Recovery to restore the laptop to the factory settings. Back up your data on a USB flash drive or an external hard drive. If the touch screen still doesn't after that then, give us a call. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or Start here if you live outside of North America.

  • HP Envy 14-2013tx switchable graphics of does not work.

    My laptop is plugged into the wall outlet, I've specified applications to CCC to use 'High Performance', but I'm not convinced the system is switching to the Radeon HD 6630 M GPU. I used dxdiag and GPU Caps Viewer time to test the GPU in operation and it will not display Intel HD Graphics. Also, I can easily say that 3D rendering performance is much lower than what is expected of a graphics chip.

    It's really frustrating, please help.
