Laptop mouse problems

My laptop seems to have mouse problems lately.  It is to select things too fast for me.  It highlights all, or choose something just because I'm pointing at it, even if I click on the object.  Is there a way to fix this?  I looked threw the help, and I've been able to find how to change the appearance of my mouse.  Where should I look to fix the sensitivity that my mouse seems to have?

The controls are generally in the start menu / Control Panel / mouse.  If the options you want are not listed here, they are not available on the system.  You can try to check with the manufacturer of the mouse or the computer manufacturer (if the mouse came with it) for updated device drivers firmware or software and install it.  Restart and test the mouse in Control Panel.  You can now have new options that were not there before.

I hope this helps.

Good luck!

  • Strange mouse problem

    I have a new laptop HP 8440 and I'm having a very strange mouse problem.  The point of the mouse on the screen from time to time will crawl slowly towards the top of the screen.  This occurs when you use the Touchpad mouse or when you use a USB optical mouse.  The mouse buttons remain active and navigation mouse continues to function (so I can pull the mouse down of his craawl), but he continued to creep upward.

    This does not happen all the time and 'fixed' after 5 minutes of me being frustrated.  I don't think this is driver-related, but my mouse driver is 5.1.2600.0

    Any ideas?

    Hi Pappytopp,

    1. run the troubleshooter from the link below: hardware devices do not work or are not detected in Windows:http://support.microsoft.com/gp/hardware_device_problems

    2. also try to disable the touchpad then use the optical mouse and check the results.

  • How can I activate the scroll function on my laptop mouse pad?

    Hello

    My laptop mouse pad is no longer scroll in FireFox or MS Word (or any other program I've tried) since switching from Vista to Windows 7. In the Windows Help section, it suggests that there should be a tab "Scrolling" in the mouse properties window, however, when I opened the window just 4 tabs are "Buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware". How can I switch on / activate the scrolling feature?

    Thank you

  • laptop mouse pad changes size of the icon on the desktop?

    When using my laptop mouse pad, the desktop icons is is expanded.  I want to make it even smaller, but the options of the control panel do not work to do this.  How to smaller again, and why are they larger when I touched the mouse pad?

    On a desktop PC, hold down the CTRL key and turning the mouse wheel will make the icons larger or smaller. Maybe you did the cell phone equivalent to that. Maybe even a sticky control key.

  • Pavilion laptop: Mouse pad problem

    I want that my mouse to move while I type. Because I'm playing somegames that force me to move my mouse and using the WASD keys. How can I change?

    Hello

    You can change this as follows.

    Open windows control panel and on the top right, next to the display by: select "large icons".  In the new page layout, select the entry of Synaptics.

    The hardware/software version will depend on real option that you're looking for (see the example below), but it is usually called 'check' Palm or Smart Sense'-disable this function and apply the changes.

  • HP 15-f272wm: mouse problem

    I have a wireless mice for this laptop, which is recognized by the computer, and I'm wishing I didn't have to hold down the right button to do a right click (as incredibly frustrating sometimes); no solution through my own exploration and am use to customer support.

    I searched and doctored many other mouse and nothing literally on a right-click settings while the right click is essential for me to use for my work, that's why, why I bought a wireless mouse. It was the only laptop that I could afford and even with wireless by mouse right click is still a real pain in the neck. The warranty is over with, so I'm stuck with this problem of mouse and have lost a lot of time because of this, please help.

    To put it short:

    Is there a way to simply right click once using my wireless mouse? I must hold to get options and sometimes even that won't work.

  • Satellite T110-107 - Touchpad / mouse problem

    Just had delivery of a new Tosh T110-107, I have to say is beautiful, however a problem. A startup the touchpad works ok, but as soon as I plug the mouse USB may not work - what makes the system unusable until I disconnects me restart and the mouse. So what have I so done for her?

    Uninstalled McAfee and Norton 360 addded and office (two originals) and that's the problem were found until everything has been done - as he came out of the box.

    Win7 Home Premium, never had any problems with Win7, but then not used on a particular laptop model. Can only imagine its software/config but straight out of the box? Tosh must know there is a problem-they have too, but sold it?

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Answer to Ah my own question, mouse at fault, as soon as the wheel is moved all the works, but we must constantly move or it don't work. It turns out that the mouse was not part of the package, so apologies to Toshiba, but then, that's why I had to buy this machine of large model - deemed manufacturer - if and I would recommend it to anyone who is thinking about buying one.

    Hello
    would it be possible that the USB mouse has high power consumption?

    As far as I know, there are a load of maximum intensity for each USB Port.

    Do you know how much power (intensity) needs to this mouse?

    Good bye

  • Tecra A20 + external mouse problem

    Hello, I have some problem with a Tecra A20 which is connected to a docking station. If I start the laptop with the lid down and you start Microsoft Outlook the left button of the mouse on the external mouse acts as a right mouse click (the right button of the mouse serves as a right-click). Only, the fault occurs in Office applications and does not appear when the laptop is started when the cover is opened. I tried to reinstall all drivers for mouse/touch pad, Toshiba software and office software. I've also been through all the power save and docking of parameters, but the problem persists.

    Hello

    I use in my office series Tecra M with docking station and external keyboard and mouse. I have gift? t know how it is pre-installed in your case, but with my external keyboard and mouse, I myself? (troisieme party software? allows me a configuration complete external mouse.

    Is the same situation in your case?

  • Satellite A80 129 usb mouse problem

    I have MS USB Intellimouse Optical. And if I connect the mouse to the first USB port (under the laptop computer right speaker), the mouse installs and then with the mouse disconnected constantly. As he works for a few seconds then disconnects and reconnects again, constantly. If I connect it to the other three USB ports, all is well. I don't want to use the other three ports for the connection of the mouse, but I want to use the primary, cause of handling convience (DVD-ram opening and limited space on my table). Also I installed the drivers for the Microsoft mouse, but the mouse plays the same.

    So is this hardware or software problem?

    I have WinXP Pro SP2 installed.

    Best regards, Kekec.

    Hi kekec

    Is there a possibility to check this port with another external device? It will be interesting to know if there is problem using some another unit.

    Anyway, in my opinion, it may be just the hardware problem.

  • Satellite M100-221: Solution Possible BSOD / sound + mouse problem

    Hi all!

    Recently my Satellite M100-221 started crashing and freezing, so I reinstalled Windows XP.
    However, some problems are still recurring.
    First, before posting that, I browsed all the forum and found a few questions from people who are experiencing a BSOD (blue screen).

    I solved this problem by removing HWSetup programe of PC (because, as he wrote on the blue screen, its driver was causing a problem).
    All who have this problem should consider all the software Toshiba, because maybe this is the reason.

    However, I have 2 questions.
    First of all, which is my mouse (and touchpad too) just occasionally freezes for a second.
    I tried different mouse - but it's the same thing. (It may not be the connected with the performance of the CPU, because before the re - install XP, I didn't have the problem).

    And secondly is connected with sound - noise from time to time (whether it be the music play or simply 'click' sound effect) freezes just - which makes the periodical "trtrtrttrtr" - like sound))) that the two problems are so boring - because you just can't help the note!

    I've got drivers provided by Toshiba - maybe the problem is with them?
    So should what drivers I expect?

    Please, someone, help!

    I solved the problems and it took almost two days to determine what the problem is.
    Well, I read a lot of discussion on the failures of sounds, mouse freeze and so on. But there is always only one advice: updating drivers, BIOS, etc, etc. After two days, I have updated all the drivers on my laptop, updated the BIOS and fact repeatedly - but all that was * _completely useless_ *.
    I've got Intel Centrino Duo processor - so I started to experiment with a single core enabled - play music and watch videos and watch to the works of the processor. According to the process manager, got processor loaded at 50-60% of its power every 2-4 dry. And it turns out to be Hotkey.exe! Toshiba utility! This means that software of Toshiba's just unnecessary powerful processors, because this software is completely unprofessional. I have nothing against Toshiba - laptops are one of the best, but they should at least try their own software before distributing it with their PC.
    So I guess some problems with your laptop, mates, can be solved by turning off unnecessary all software and utilities Toshiba - just them clear in the automatic boot menu.
    Good luck!
