Satelitte L955 - cursor freezes and won't react to the touchpad

My touchpad seems to have stopped working.

At one point I could plug a usb mouse and then the touchpad would become active but now once the touchpad no longer works there out of action until you restart the laptop.

After the reboot, it works fine until the mode Office and then stops working.

Have tried to reset WHAT BIOS to the default settings, but it makes no difference.
Have tried reinstalling drivers Synaptics but that made no difference.

Don't really want to restore the whole system I'm losing my downloaded installations, so before you go down this route as a last resort there at - it suggestions how to solve this problem.

Looking through the forums, it seems quite common with the portable Toshiba - is not itself a disturbing theme?

> Do not really want to restore the whole system I'm losing my downloaded installations, so before you go down this route as a last resort there at - it suggestions how to solve this problem.

I think you can try to install the driver from Synaptics page directly as it s the latest driver available for the Synaptics touchpads:
http://www.Synaptics.com/resources/drivers

But the recovery of the system is recommended, because in this case, you can check if your system would be hit by a 3rd installed third party software you know what I mean?

  • My mouse cursor freezes and I have to reboot for it to release

    original title: frozen

    My mouse cursor freezes and I have to restart for his release, when I click to go back a page or click on the x to close the page, it won't work, I have to keep clicking on it and then finally it will go ahead and work, it also as the page is too frozen.  Also when I type, the letters don't just type, they released the letters wrong or when I type, the letters will go out to a lot of the same quick true letter and I try to go back to clear them and sometimes it stops to type the letters when I'm a backspace to erase the letters, it's strange.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
    For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
    Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
    Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
    your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
    Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
    Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
    with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

    Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
    Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
    BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
    each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
    presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
    in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
    necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
    manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
    http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
    Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
    older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
    get new manually if you wish.

  • Windows does not correctly - open cursor freezes and gets to abnormal termination

    Cursor freezes. Then I can just turn off the computer at the tower. Windows then reopen correctly. Sometimes I'm asked to select 'normally open', sometimes prompted to opt for the option "repair". Sometimes takes up to 15 attempts before getting the chance.  Then the process repeats itself afterwards. There is nothing wrong with the cursor. Help!

    The best way to combat the freeze is to be patient and select Ctrl + Shift + Esc to bring up the Task Manager. Click on the Applications tab, place the cursor on a running application, and then click end task. Be patient as the task manager should have priority over a problenmatic that runs application. It usually does, but he needs time. If you continue to use the Power On / Off button you will make things worse.

    Can you identify which application is causing the problem?

    What anti-virus program do you use?

    The amount of RAM is installed?

    You authorize chkdsk to run until the end, when the computer does not start normally? You must allow running chkdsk.

    Event Viewer reports

    1. normally, when an error occurs on your computer looking in Event Viewer should be your starting point to find a solution. More related system errors are recorded and get an exact copy of the relevant report is important. Unfortunately, is not easy to understand reports and most of the users computer need help with their interpretation. I have to say later interpretation.

    2 Event Viewer includes three main newspapers of Windows. Here's the Application, security, and system. For purposes of troubleshooting system is by far the most important.

    3. to access the system log, select Start, Control Panel, administrative tools, Event Viewer, in the list on the left of the window select Windows and the system logs. Place the cursor on the system, right click and select filter current log. Check the front of the error and click OK and see you only reports errors. Click the Date and time column header to sort. You may need to click a second time to see the last report above.

    4. a tip for posting copies of error reports! Run Event Viewer and double-click the error you want to copy. Click the copy button to place a copy in the Clipboard and close Event Viewer. Now start your message and paste it into the body of the message. Make sure that it is the first dough right out of the event viewer.

    5. He cautioned against three types of reports, information, and reports errors. In most situations, it is the error reports that offer the best information but sometimes WARNING reports provide useful clues.

    6. all reports have stamps date and hour and when troubleshooting, it is important to focus on the latest reports. Reports of studies from the point when the computer is started, and then check if a similar report appeared in the previous session. If errors do not repeat investigation as to why they happen is wasted effort.

    7. in the individual reports the most important information is the event ID and Source such as these help when looking for help on the internet. The description is just as important and copy the exact text to use as search criteria greatly helps achieve better results when using Google. Not paraphrase descriptions when other people asking for help.
