Hi dove2k,

 

Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

You will need to enable the touchpad on the laptop itself.

Find the area of the touch pad, you will find a button to enable or disable the touchpad.

If the step above doesn't, try this step.

Go to control panel > mouse > device settings tab
Click (or to disable)

Notes:
On some models, there is a keyboard shortcut to enable or disable the touchpad. For example, ACER, just do Fn + F7.
You can click on Reset device if none of these solutions work.

If you still can't touch pad to work, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

  • HP officejet 6600 my laptop does not recognize the printer

    My laptop does not recognize the printer any longer. It will recognize the fax on the printer but not the printer itself. Can you help me? I have two currencies on my laptop. HP officejet 6600 and hp officejet 6600 network. Even printing for both. One network is the fax. I'm not clear what is the question. I can't even download drivers or updates for it.

    There are two 6600's in the list, a fax and a printer, because the full feature software and drivers have drivers for both. If you do not use the fax, you can remove devices and printers.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then check

    Often, clean power and contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the system
    Designer and manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case
    (Read burn CD & DVD and CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 pieces
    No function while others do so properly.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? He
    are some registry entries that do not fix the resolution of problems and those who "might".
    be the cause.

    Check with your system manufacturer Maker and possible device for two firmware
    updates
    and the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys in my opinion, are those in question - for the CD/DVD drive - sub
    the key of course because there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific
    involved as well as the settings key.

    My laptop is Pressario V2000. My laptop does not read the dvd, but another laptop reads the same dvd. PL is the solution. Thank you

    Try another DVD to verify that your laptop can read at least the other DVD.  If he can't play other DVD's then you need to replace the DVD - CD ROM drive supplied with your Pressario.

    Another thing you can try is to check fingerprints or scratches on the DVD, some DVD players are more sensitive than others.

  • My laptop does not recognize the HDMI cable

    I don't know if I posted this properly, but I would really like for you to tell me a little more about HP pavilion 1 TB of hard drives.

    I bought a HP Pavilion processor with ADM 1 to less than a year ago. There was whisky spilled on it a couple of months before the summer, but I managed to get back to work and it was very good and stil in good shape.

    A few weeks ago, I dropped the laptop from the desktop and it fell on a carpet. Isn't difficult, but not smoothly either. And it is always on when I got it up and working.

    When I stopped it the laptop refused to start. I did a quick diagnosis to check the hard disk and it says already something with red letters.

    I took the laptop PCs store and human a glance told me, the hard drive is dead and I need a new one fitted. "Everything is in good condition", he assumed, and I agree with him to change the hard drive.

    I told him specifically to replace the hard drive with another 1 TB, but he subsequently advised me with good confidence that I was better with a 320 and buy an external hard drive. The laptop will work very well in terms of speed. He mounted in a 320 HARD drive and gave me back my laptop with Windows 7 ultimate.

    Now, the laptop does not connect to HDMI and AMD catalyst is recognized not no matter how many times I install it. And honestly I don't know if the man really had something out of my laptop. The HARD disk he gave in return tells me his Samsung S/N: S34LJ9BG601601648

    ST2000LM003 A REV.

    PN:HN - M201RAD/M 2000 GB + 5v 0.85 A

    Please tell me that it is a HP Pavilion HDD and how can I get the laptop to recognize the HDMI connection on the flat screen TV?

    PS: I checked the amount of space to the new HARD drive that had been installed in and it said 297 GB not 320 GB. Am I missing something? Why can I not see all of the HARD disk if it is 320?

    Sorry for the long discription, I stop here.

    You can borrow and use a DVD Vista Microsoft (selling retail or OEM System Builders License), which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.

    The COA sticker is either on the underside of the laptop or in the battery compartment (you already have).

    With a desktop computer, it's on the side, the back or the top of the computer case.

    Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.

    And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as well as 32-bit and 64-bit editions different DVD lights.
