Laptop Acer Aspire 5742Z-4685. Right-clicking does not work

I introduce myself first, I'm 70 years old, a qualified electronic former Tech at the time we could not dianose componnet level for repairs. That's some 50 years ago, when "Transistors" were the most recent thing and the best around because the slices of bread, I kept my hand in all these years now, I generally pick up or buy laptops more elders or trays of office and repair install them a decent OS used XP but now finally agreed win 7 and use more.  Once started properly I sell them to local poor people in my area for what I have in them, and sometimes even give one to someone in need.  Just my way hopefully help someone at school and maybe have a better chance in life.

The right click button does not work on the mouse pad, as well as a usb mouse. I used Acer to factory restore disks to restore it to out of box state. Same question. If you use the control panel to switch the buttons then the only thing that happens is the cursor move no click at all.  Also after a period of rental time computer warm up suddenly the cursor works, but even the left click will not work it will highlight the icon but not allow you to click on it. I wonder is the only solution to replace the motherboard as it seems to be a worse problem of heat.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  And before I forget, Yes, I replaced the drivers a couple of both clean install so

RichardDaigle66,

Looks like you did everything I thought and much more. He makes it sound like a problem with the hardware at this stage and would require the replacement of the motherboard. Looks like that the southbridge is not working properly.

    Experimental features

    You always use the same profile folder you used with the Nightly build (35.0a1)?

    If you do, then you must create a new profile.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile already used in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting more problems.

    With the decommissioning of a Nightly build might be unstable, you should be still more restrictive with what to retrieve.

  • Acer Aspire E1 - 572 G Bluetooth does not work after update to 8.1 Windows

  • P850 satellite - 02c - right click does not work while you touch the touchpad

    When using the touchpad on my new laptop, that the work of right click very well when I'm not moving the cursor
    However when I try to press on the right button with my thumb a finger on the touch pad as my index finger and he never enrolled as a left click.

    This seems like an intentional function so I hope one of you has a simple solution.

    Hello

    I think that you must disable the option called Momentum.
    This can be done within the parameters of the touchpad Synaptics (Control Panel-> mouse-> Synaptics tab-> settings button)

    Expand the option called score and remove the brand of Elk point.

  • Right click does not work

    I have a standard wireless optical mouse. Make a right-click just does nothing. No drop downs. Nothing. Help please. I'm not a smart computer guy, but I'm a competent home for my age user. Help please.

    I studied all the forums that I can find to this problem, but none of the similar questions are special cases.

    Try a different mouse, anyone who the manufacturer is, nothing lasts forever.

  • Windows 7: make a right click does not work and sliders moving to voluntarily

    Hello.

    Until these two options, I want just to say I have swapped/changed my mouse without success AND I tried to restore to an earlier point.
    My computer won't let me not make a right-click in the installed software (what is Microsoft looks good, but my Kindle app and Google Chrome as affected).
    The right click menu will appear, but she disappears before you click on something.
    At the same time, I seem to be unable to scroll down (for example, when you used the file > open option and scroll down) using my mouse. The sliders seem to control themselves. If I try to turn down the volume on my computer the cursor automatically moves to highest, and if I try to scroll the cursor automatically try to pull up. I can't stop it, even when I click on it it forces fair itself upward.
    Anyone know what on Earth is wrong with the computer? Rebooted, restored, etc etc. I don't want to have to reformat and reinstall Windows 7!
    Help! The computer seems to have a mind of your own.

    Thanks a lot for your answer.

    I indeed checked by safe mode, but also the configuration of system (clean boot) that's causing the problem. He helped eliminate it as a problem with one of the Microsoft software. Also, it was not a physical fault with my laptop. What he helped me identify is the problem with the wireless mouse.
    All I had to do was unplug the wireless mouse and put the old fashioned a good with a cable attached to it and the computer was back to normal!
    Thanks for the support, he helped sort!

    Hello
    I created a form that is customized by using template.fmb
    When a user tries to put some data in the text field and right clikc the mouse, the menu does not come.
    In fact, nothing happens when right click of the mouse.

    Please help me on this one and let me know if I am missing any configurations or all libraries...

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, you must assign the context menu for each item by using the Context Menu of the element property. Also, unfortunately, the built-in Set_Item_Property() you cannot set this property during execution; You must set the value of the property in the design. You can use the library Java JDAPI dyamically change your binary forms (.fmb). Search the Forum on "JDAPI" for more information on the use of this library. If you are not competent Java, only option available for you would select all the elements that you want to use this menu drop-down and set the mass.

  • Just updated to Firefox 6, now right click does not work. No idea why?

    Make a right-click on any open page has no answer. Make a right click works in the menu strip

    Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.

    A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.

    Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.

    If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.

  • Problem with the touchpad: Tap to click does not work if I use a standard account

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my laptop that I don't understand and I need help from the community.
    As the title says... If I connect to my laptop using a standard account the touchpad does not work if I try to tap to click. Left and right buttons work, move the slider works, works of scrolling, but endearing tape... not even a single tap. If I log in with my account as an administrator, the touchpad works like a charm, no problems. Tap to click and everything you want. If I disconnect the admin account and sign in as a standard user, the problems are back again. I can move the cursor, click on the two buttons (left, right), but I can't type to click...

    I tried to reinstall the driver for the touchpad (which is MOMENTUM...) but it did not. I tried to see if there is any option that can prevent this tapping or something... but in the control panel > Touchpad > Tap is turned on. A strange thing in the control panel of the Touchpad is that [when loggend as a standard user] I get an error "unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click on continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click on exit the application will close immediately. "and a new line saying"index was outside the bounds of the array. If I click on continue the error disappears, but reappears if stationary "double-tap" enable/disable option. If I click on leave the Touchpad Control Panel closes...

    All this trouble occurs only when I use the standard account. With the administrator account, I don't get any errors so I soar options, disable them, activate them and most importantly, the tap to click works.

    What is the problem with the standard account?

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.

    Can someone help me please?

    Hi Johnxf,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    As he works in an administrator account, then probably your standard user account have been damaged and would need a fix.

    Follow the article provided below to fix the corrupted user profile:

  • Left click does not work in Hotmail or Yahoo

    I was running low disk space and my IT dept says: they removed some "temporary files". Everything they did watered IE so that she came back to v7 V8. They Redid the upgrade of IE and installed a bunch of updates to MS and updated Java, but I'm still having a problem in FF. Most of the sites are fine, but when I go to Yahoo or Hotmail email, left click does not work. I tried to uninstall/reinstall FF. I tried to launch FF in safe mode and reinstall some of the plugins I thought that might have effects. I still can't run. I used some of the tools web dev in FF, all I know is some of the errors that are reported on the loading of the page. On Hotmail, one is that a var called 'JQuery' is undefined, among others.
