Problems with Synaptics Trackpad, and Windows 8

I use a HP Pavilion dm4 with a Synpatics PS/2 port touchpad.

I look down.

I had a new upgrade to Windows 8 Pro and had installed the Synaptics touchpad drivers.

At the beginning, that it worked well. I had use of all the features like the shots of border and multitouch gestures

That lasted only a few days, however, how she returned to regular feature where the only thing I had was available to scroll. It seemed back in the functionality of the Windows 7 driver.

And, whenever I tried to use the Synaptics control center it tells me that it cannot find that a connected Synaptics touchpad, which is strange, because it is without a doubt detected by Windows as the touchpad as I a see in Device Manager.

The exact message is "If you have installed another PS/2 pointing device driver, please uninstall the synaptics driver by clicking on the Yes button. You must then reinstall your device pointing to your external device driver again. "It makes no sense, because I certainly have not connected an external device. The uninstall does not work - see the following.

I tried the following:

  1. I went to the Device Manager and tried to update drivers touchpad there... nothing helps, of course. He said that my version was up-to-date.
  2. I tried to reinstall the driver. If I uninstall the driver, he invites me to restart the computer... the problem is that when I did it and the computer has restarted, or the keyboard or the touchpad responded. I had to do a system restore to be able to use again.

What is a solution for this? I'm kinda stuck. I can try to do a refresh as soon as I have my installation media but I won't for awhile.

Hello.

We had the same problem with a Compaq laptop.

Windows Update has updated the synaptics driver with a version that not working with shots.

I removed this driver and had no toutchpad and keyboard work.

With a mouse, I could use the screen keyboard on (someware sits on the lockscreen) and I was able to reinstall the hp synaptics driver.

I put the update driver in hidden Windows update Department. Don't remember how exactaly.

    Hello BHASKARPIYA,

    Product Key Finder programs, if someone advises to use, is found only on your operating system preinstalled a Levono multiple factory facilities and will be of no use in these circumstances.

    You will need to contact Lenovo and request their assistance.

    Or a way around this is to buy a Lenovo recovery DVD to reinstall the operating system or use the built-in recovery Partition containing an image of your OS and reinstall Windows like that.

    No method requires a product key to be entered by you.

  • After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers

    Hello

    After the last updates of windows have problems with start up and now drivers. I get an error code 21 when I try to install the drivers AMD apparently missing.

    May 14, last night I had several (automatically) downloaded windows update

    Today, I was unable to boot my computer with Windows - tried the disk check, start checks etc, and eventually had to use System Restore (for help before the critical update to restore).

    Perfection, everything works, but knowing that windows will attempt to redo an automatic update, tried to check online - no one seemed to have a problem and (naivly) thinking I could always do another restore of the system, I rebooted again.

    Same thing worse. Could not do a sys restore either just before restarting or last night. Chose a date earlier (last week) but then lost the USB drivers and pilots display. Downloaded updated but refuses to let my AMD driver install Windows I have a very unpleasant screen... and I must now stop the installation of this update "critical."

    Would appreciate advice how do my installed display driver or whether anyone else has problems following this update

    Thank you

  • HP 15 laptop: problem with the touchpad and the key "stuck."

    Hello!
     
    Last weekend, I have an irritating problem with my HP 15 laptop. Bought two years ago and upgrades to Windows 10 a year ago.
     
    First of all, my touchpad started to not work properly. It "freezes" and I can't use it until I click the ESC key, but it doesn't last and "freezes" again a few seconds later. Then, everytime I open a window where there is a text box (Start menu, edge browser, Control Panel, etc.), the number 5 is entered automatically and permanently, as if the button 5 has been blocked. I did a quick check and button 5 do not seem physically stuck.
     
    Yesterday, I restored the system to the factory settings, so I'm back to 8.1 for Windows and then upgraded to Windows 10. Everything seems to work fine, but this morning, the problem was back. Is there something I can do? What is the problem caused by Windows 10 or the computer? Should I restore it to Windows 8.1? Everything worked great til last weekend, I don't know what that was.
     
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    Welcome to the HP support community @gouch3.

    I understand that you have a problem with the keyboard and the touchpad on your laptop from HP 15.

    Have you tried to use a keyboard external and mouse at all?

    Have you tried to go to Safe Mode to see if the problems persist in there?

    Have you tried to perform a material or forced reset Reset?

    Did you do a test of material?

    Have you updated your drivers?

    ... Is there something I can do? What is the problem caused by Windows 10 or the computer? Should I restore it to Windows 8.1? Everything worked great til last weekend, I don't know what that was.

    It could be a driver problem to be able to look at that for you, I need your model number. I wish I could give you an answer or not, but at this point without the troubleshooting results and the model number, it is difficult for me to say.

    I can say that if everything works in point 8.1 of Windows without problem, the driver TROUBLESHOOTING is a great place to start. Please try to follow these steps for the keyboard and the touchpad of troubleshooting:

    • Beginning
    • Search for Device Manager
    • Search results, open Device Manager.
    • Click on display
    • Show hidden devices.
    • Click the arrow next to keyboards.
    • Right click on the name of the keyboard device.
    • Select uninstall.
    • Continue deleting the names of devices in the category keyboards until the feature of all the names have been uninstalled.
    • Restart the laptop twice.

    Touchpad:

    • Type of research, "Device Manager."
    • Click on Device Manager,
    • Expand mice and other pointing devices.
    • Right click on the TouchPad,
    • Click on uninstall.
    • Restart the computer laptop twice,
    • Reinstall the TouchPad card.

    I found a document of troubleshooting for you to try also called Portable keyboard troubleshooting. Please be sure to follow the steps described in this document.

    The best document I have for TouchPad problems is the use and troubleshooting of the TouchPad and ClickPad document. 

    Here is a link to the HP Support Assistant, if you need it. Just download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers that need to put up-to-date.

    This is a great question other clients may also be questioned. When we came to a resolution, please share what has worked for you with others by marking this post as an acceptable Solution. If you want to show appreciation for my efforts today, please take a second to click the Thumbs Up button below.

    If you need assistance, I would be more than happy to continue to help you. Please re-post with the results of the resolution of the problems. Could you please also provide your model number (How can I find my model number or product number?)

    How can I use shared Variables to transfer data from Vision Builder for Automated Inspection (VBAI)...

    You can also try something. To do this, you must go to the EXE VBAI here:

    C:\Program NIUninstaller Instruments\Vision 20XX\ VBAI

    For 64-bit machines:
    C:\Program Files (x 86) \National Instruments\Vision VBAI 20XX\

    Right-click on "Vision Builder.exe", and then select Properties.  Make sure "run this program as an administrator" is checked.

    Click OK, and then try to rerun VBAI. You may need to redeploy the variables in the variable Manager until they work properly.

  • "A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer"... * STOP: 0x0000007e (0x805c49b8, 0xf7a172b4, 0 x 80000003, 0xf7a16fb0)... blue screen

    Hello!

    For the life of me I can't figure out how to get my machine to boot successfully. Nothing changes when I choose Safe Mode, last known good Configuration, enable VGA Mode, booting, Directory Services Restore Mode or Debug Mode logging.

    It's very stressful, because I'm right smack dab in the Middle a semester at the College. I have most of what I currently need access to supported illuminates... but not quite all :( It is also very reassuring to be able to take care of the school of work away from the library of the University. Yesterday, my computer was working fine... I think that Windows has completed an update, if I can't remember now. As I woke up this morning, I was not able to boot all the way to Windows only once.

    My laptop is a HP Pavilion dv6000 running XP Media Center, and I have not installed new hardware since I bought the machine about 3 years ago.

    Here are more details, where they can help in the diagnosis of my problem:

    • ID of the system board: 30BB
    • Type of processor: Genuine Intel(r) CPU T2250
    • Processor speed: 1730 MHz
    • Total memory: 1024 MB
    • Video memory up to: 128 MB
    • BIOS version: F.06

    Here's the entire message to the blue screen:
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
    A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer.

    If this is the first time you've seen this Stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps:

    Make sure you have enough disk space. If a driver is identified in the stop message, disable the driver or check with the manufacturer for driver updates. Try changing video cards.

    Check with your hardware vendor for updates to the BIOS. Disable the BIOS memory options such as implementing caching or shading. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select advanced startup options, and then select Safe Mode.

    Technical information:

    STOP: 0X0000007E (0X805C49B8, 0XF7A172B4, 0 X 80000003, 0XF7A16FB0)
    - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

    I also learned to a blue screen that says something about "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA". I think that this happens when I try to start safe mode.

    Also, I never did much with computer problems beyond what could be repaired with the restoration of the system... so not being is not able to boot at all me has to stop. Please, I beg you! Help me?!

    With great appreciation for your time,.
    Damaya

    Quick suggestion

    Some HP partition the hard drive. have you tried to type F11 or F12 during startup (before that he go to the option mode start screen)? It might take you for a HP recovery program in that partition (because windows don't be loading not to use that recovery)
