My touchpad does not work when I place my laptop on a table top, but when I place it on my knees it works very well how can I change this?

When I use my touchpad for the pointer while having my laptop sitting on top of the table it does not work, and when I'm sitting at the laptop on my lap, it works very well is it annoyin so everyone knows what I can do to fix this issue? It is a dell computer, if that helps? anyone?

HY!

It seems that you have a hardware failure. No laptop does turn off touchpad, while he sits on a desk. If you have a USB mouse, plug it into the laptop and verify that it works correctly.
You can also go to Panel of--> mouse--> the pointer options and pay attention to something like "Turn off automatically" or something similar.
If the doen't even touchpad works, answer me with a little more specific infromation on your computer (Windows version, exact model laptop etc..).

  • Portege M600 - ConfigFree does not work very well

    Pls help friends...

    I've used it before very well with ConfigFee.
    Once I changed the profile, the LAN and wireless IP change correctly.
    I m on WinXP SP2. I just reinstalled Windows and ConfigFree does not work very well.

    I have LAN IP and wireless in this profile.
    I have the problem when I change the profile, I received the error message for the wireless IP does not change (the question did not pass.) TCP/IP configuration

    The following may be responsible for the failure. Wireless LAN Utility is active (Please close the utility). Network Properties window is open (Please close the window). The Internet options window is open (Please close the options window). I use PROSet to control the wireless.

    I tried the solution proposed and even reboot my laptop, but there s no chance...
    Can help you pls?

    First of all, you can use a single tool to configure WLan.
    You cannot use Windows WLan configuration option, the Intel ProSet utility and ConfigFree at the same time.

    Second, I put t understand why you use ConfigFree to Wlan configuration.
    In case you, I advise to use the Intel ProSet tool or clean Windows WLan settings.

    In addition, I put t understand why you change the LAN and Wlan profiles?
    In all profiles of your Wlan IP address must be set to automatic as the WLan router automatically assigns the IP address.

    But like I said above; only one WLan configuration tool can be used!

  • My OS windows 7 does not work very well, can not install or uninstall programs

    My OS windows 7 does not work very well. Cannot install or uninstall programs. A week back ilivid software got installed, guess this particular software has caused the problem. Cannot run the task with the option in the control panel. I don't want to format my system since there are a lot of personal data. Instead of looking for any option of repair for BONE. Would appreciate if you can let me know the best way for recovery.

    Check with support from the manufacturer of their books online and the drivers and their forums system
    (as applicable) for known issues. Some manufacturer issued BIOS and other updates to help the battery
    problems.

    In fact, what causes a lot of wear on a battery empties it too low on several occasions. With
    systems today, the premiums is not a problem.

    Here are some tips to help and troubleshoot battery issues.

    Old battery? Unplug the power to the computer - remove the battery and clean the contacts with a pencil
    eraser (do not use this, if your battery is fine slots - just clean up the edges of the knife which fit in)
    them and be careful). Batteries are old, or it could be a problem with the computer.
    Check with the support of the machine system, and many of them have on line forums.

    New Lithium-Ion type battery usually last longer if you do not unload then less than 30%
    However on a laptop that not extend their life a lot. Best is to use the a/c adapter
    When this is possible.

    Hi Pattimucha,

    1 have you made changes to your computer recently?
    2. What is the brand and model of your computer?
    3. you receive an error message related to the Touchpad?

    Method 2: Uninstall and reinstall the drivers for the Touchpad and check if it helps.

    Uninstall or reinstall a device

    Note: This link applies to Windows Vista.

  • My movie maker program does not work correctly. How can I download it again, or at least fix it? It's stop of allowing me to record the final sequence.

    Trying to save the profject ended up like a movie .wmv to my computer, it says «save on removable CD...» "but it is actually doing nothing.  He has never done this before.  It is also not working well even to work on project files.  Something is wrong with her, and I would like to reinstall or repair, but can't find it anywhere on Microsoft Download pages.  Any suggestions?

    Movie Maker is installed with Windows XP... There
    not a separate download. Also... it is updated
    with the SP2 of Win XP and Win XP SP3.

    I suspect that the maintenance of the system would
    more to improve the function of Movie Maker that
    He would reinstall.

    FWIW... better run on applications of editing video one
    machine is well maintained and fully implemented to date.

    You may have reached the limits of your system
    resources. Run the error checking, defragmentation and
    Disk Cleanup on a regular basis could help.

    And... disconnect the net and the closing of all
    programs, including your scanner for viruses before
    Opening Movie Maker can free up some resources.

    Add more RAM, increase the size of your
    Swap file and maintain a hard training that
    a 50% or more of free space can help.

    And you can have compatibility issues with your
    source files. Several formats are apparently compatible
    with Movie Maker, but the most reliable choices are:

    Photos - bmp
    Video - wmv or dv - avi
    Audio - wav, wma, wmv

    It is also possible that you have a problem with one
    video driver is damaged or outdated.

    in accordance with the instructions in the following article.

    If they improve the question, you should look for the
    site Web of MFG. your video card

  • read png: transparency does not work very well

    IM programatically loading PNG images and put them in a picture box. However, I see big differences when I programmatically load a picture or just drag it to the front of windwos Explorer; See attached picture.

    I can change the loaded PNG transparency, but making very high makes the alias bad image; doesn't look like not smooth. When its low there white edges.

    Are their other options?

    The left is loaded programmatically, the right is moved from windows Explorer; identical image.

    I have attached the original png too
