Re: Satellite Pro 40 synaptic pointing device does not properly

Hello, I have a Pro L40 brand new satellite and the synaptic mouse pad stopped working.
When I go to control panel > mouse I get a message teling me that the system is "unable to connect to the synaptic pointing device driver.
I have installed a different mouse, so I refused to uninstalling the driver, another dialog box informs me that the "Windows host process (Vista) Rundll32 has stoped working", informing me that 'a problem caused the oprogram to work corectly' and that 'Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is not available", the only solution is to close program.
Although the mouse works, overall, I've lost forward scrolling and tapping features of the mouse pad, a little disappointing in a computer laptop lesst han a month.
Any suggestions? The laptop does nto come with a Vista installation CD, I would have one? I can re - install the driver? It is available on the Toshiba site? What and where should I look?
A big thank you to all those who might be able to help.
Toni M.

OK, so it's probably not usual to answer yourself and it may well be a sign of madness, but I found a solution and wanted to share, but also to prevent someone lose precious time replying.

I typed the question the old adage "the answer to a question may lie in the question itself" drifted into my little brain.
It dawned on me that, as Windows error messages indicate a driver problem, the simplest solution would be to find one and and re - install; so I found the downloads > drivers Vista > Synaptic Pointing Device driver, downloaded and installed, and Hey Presto! Back to scrolling and tapping-up for England!

Goes to show the wisdom of the Galactic Hitchiker's Guide, encapsulated in the caption on the cover page:

DON'T PANIC! : ^ 0

Thank you 1 million if you take the time to examine this issue and, if you have a similar problem, don't worry, the solution is here!

TTFN!

  • Equium P300-16 t - Synaptics Pointing Device does not work correctly

    I hope someone can help.

    Just bought this laptop and for some reason, I get an error message come saying the Synaptics Pointing Device does not work properly. The touchpad loses some functions and a warning appears informing me of this. I can still use it, but disappears from the icon in the taskbar with the flashing blue dot - when I go into the control panel it says the driver and he asks if I installed another ps/2 pointing device driver

    Looking forward to any help you can give.

    Suggest that you reinstall simply touch pad drivers. Maybe new version?
    So, just uninstall drivers, restart your computer, reinstall the drivers.

    Drivers are located on the download page of European drivers.

    I doubt it because it sounds like a mechanical hardware problem and in this case, the disk must be replaced.

  • Satellite A100 - Synaptics pointing device does not

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A100-062, that is around the age of 10 months. The other day while I was using the laptop touchpad no longer meets nothing that do about it, including the mouse buttons. I did a system restore and then used the toshiba recovery disc but nothing solved the problem. Then I stopped using it for a few days I was getting ready to return to the shop, but beforehand, I thought I would try something. Before I had tried something I booted up it to make sure that the mouse was still not working. However, it was and I did not anything else to fix.

    I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if you have how many times it happened, and whether or not it is repairable.

    Thanks for any help in this matter.

    Hello

    If the touch pad does not respond after clean installation of the operating system (DVD release) there must be a hardware problem. I recommend you contact the service provider authorized in your country. After 10 months the warranty should still be valid. Let check the touchpad and if there is a hardware problem it will be exchanged free of charge.

  • Satellite Pro P300 - output HDMI port does not

    Hi all

    Well it starts to drive me to distraction and Im hoping that theres someone who can put me out of my missery lol.

    I tried to connect my laptop (toshiba satellite pro p300) up to my LCD TV via the same HDMI cable that I use for my PS3 but the connector does not simply. I keep finding all these messages in various forums saying how they can't get the HDMI connection... that would be great, at least, this means that they were connected.

    Are there different links for the HDMI? The one I have is diagonal connector but the port on the laptop is more square and just doesn't fit. So, if it is not a connector, does that mean I have a funky port on the laptop.

    There is also the issue of connecting my laptop to my amp which controls the surround sound system. Which link is best to use, as there is no real connections audio output?

    See you soon

    Hello

    Can you please tell us what Satellite Pro P300 you have exactly? I mean the exact model number.
    Maybe you can also post a picture of the HDMI port. Normally there is no different HDMI port, all have the same physical size.
    I m PS3 not owner, but maybe he has a special connector. Have you tried another cable?

    Regarding the audio connection I use the normal line of output port to my external speakers. Have you tested this?

  • Re: Satellite Pro A60 - PCMCIA WLAN card does not question CardBus

    I received an A60 to upgrade for a friend and one of the necessary things is a wireless card.

    I got a 32-bit cardbus card but when I insert into the laptop, nothing happens. XP does not recognize, the oo lights do not come on the map.
    First I thought it was a faulty card but I tried other cards and get the same results and I reinstalled XP and all the drivers but nothing.

    I've seen other messages on the change of the mode in the BIOS, but there is no mention of the CardBus in the BIOS.
    The laptop uses the BIOS version 1.9. I just want to check is there something escapes me or the CardBus location just does not work?

    Hello

    Satellite Pro A60 was equipped with the 32-bit and 16-bit PCMCIA slot that supports PCMCIA card * Type-II * only!

    Have you used the * PCMCIA Type-II card?

    Perhaps you have used is not compatible PCMCIA card, you should check this first!

  • Satellite Pro U200: My safe file does not open

    Hello
    Running XP Pro on a computer Satellite Pro U200, I have installed Norton Ghost 10 (after a lot of difficulties that I had to uninstall Norton anti-siphoning I've ever used on the machine).

    Subsequently the 'My Safe' folder does not open. Normally when double clicking it asks a fingerprint or a backup password but now it shows just an hourglass for a millisecond and then's there!

    Can anyone tell what he might have to get this service running the settings?
    Best regards, Robert

    Hey Buddy,

    may I ask what 'secure record' this is? This file has been accidentally created by Norton Protection System?
    So you have this fingerprint software which manages your fingerprint and your access in the system, etc., etc... ; have you checked if something in this software changed?
    A trial might reconfigure these programs.

  • Re: Satellite Pro L450 - 13P - CD / DVD does not auto play

    Hello

    Recently, I've provided a customer with a new Satellite Pro L450 - 13P (Windows 7 Professional). He came back to me the a few days saying it was a great laptop but CD / DVD will not auto play. I googled this problem and I tried all kinds of solutions suggested, including the various changes of registry, uninstall and reinstall the device DVD driver, unchecking and rechecking always use AutoPlay box everything has failed.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 (Vista) and thought I would try to insert an automatic game disc in my drive. To my astonishment, my laptop had developed the same problem, it used to auto play, but now it doesn't.

    Any assistance people can give me in this matter is accepted with gratitude.

    Thank you very much
    Mark

    Hi Mark

    As far as I know autoplay can be set to Autoplay settings (Control Panel).
    There you can define what should happen when you insert each type of media or device.
    For example, I have all the options set to ask me every time.
    Have you tried to change these settings?

    Have you tested with different media?

    If you have noticed that mean the same thing on your laptop computer you have tested with the same support as your client?
