Satellite C660 - the mouse pointer stops working when you start program

Some features:
Toshiba Satellite C660-1r1
Windows 7 sp1
Avast Antivirus (free version)

Problem:
When I start a program (for example. Sonos controller) on my laptop my mouse pointer stops working. It does not happen with all programs! When I go into Device Manager, my synaptic touchpad and my hid mouse is working also. When I press ctrl - alt - del, the pointer can move again, but when I come back it stops again. I have a work around is not a solution

When I disconnect my windows account and log in again, it will solve the problem. When I start a program again the pointer will freeze up again.
I did a complete system of virusscan and a pre start virusscan and my laptop is virus-free.
I uninstalled the mouse and in drivers reinstalled synaptics them but that has not worked. I added a new account windows but that did not work.
By pressing the keycombo FN + F9 has no effect.
I am somehow at the end of my ideas...

Can anyone help!

When I start a program (for example. Sonos controller) on my laptop my mouse pointer stops working. It does not happen with all programs!

This problem happens using the touchpad only or have you noticed the freezing of cursor using the external USB mouse too?

What is the notebooks touchpad works properly without loading and using this 3rd party software?
For example, work the touchpad with Microsoft office (Word, Excel, etc.) or navigation in internet by using IE or Chrome?

My guess is that the pre-installed 3rd application part could affect the functionality of the touchpad.

  • Mouse Bluetooth stops working when you use Remote Desktop

    Hello, I have a Dell i7 using Windows 8 and a comfort Sculpt bluetooth mouse.  The two work together well, but when I use remote desktop, the mouse stops working.  I have checked the logs of windows, but don't see anything apparent that would explain the bluetooth mouse to stop working with RDP.  Is this a known issue?  And is there a known solution?

    Hi Sharief, thanks for the quick response!  I think that I could find my own solution to the problem.  I ended up remove the bluetooth driver that came with my Dell laptop and allowed the Microsoft Generic bluetooth driver to take charge.  The mouse now works like a charm, especially when I am using RDP.   I did have a problem again on the generic driver.  Thanks again!

    I have a new Satellite Toshiba Quad Core and have not seen this message on my old Toshiba Satellite.

    Hello

    Toshiba Satellite Quad Core says nothing about your model of laptop so what model you have exactly?

    I tried on my laptop for this file, and it seems that it is for the utility alert SSD HARD drive. It s stored in this directory:
    C:\Program Toshiba Toshiba HDD SSD Alert

    In your case, I would try to reinstall the utility. I also checked the Toshiba page and there you can download. Just search your laptop model on the driver download page and you will find! ;)

  • The mouse pointer is INVISIBLE when you browse games!

    I like to play games on my computer Windows 8 but that is finished since my mouse pointer is completely invisible and I can't navigate the game or make choices.

    [Moved from comments]

    If your mouse works correctly on all the rest, the normal conditions of use and games except Farm Frenzy, I can only conclude that there is something in their programming that is causing the problem.  Their program may not really win 8 compatible as they claim.  Do not play.

    How guys do you overcome (Mac Book and iMac) screen sizes with disabilities when creating scrolling effects, can work the same on both screens when you started with the iMac?

    Technically, since it's the same effect with the same settings, it works on both sizes. However, you need to test both is to decide if it will appear visually correct on both screens or not. On screens more wider/taller objects can appear earlier on the screen, it is advised to test again on both screens.

  • The mouse pointer at work turns blue after the connection of the House

    Greetings, every weekend our computers at work are automatically restarted. I just Monday and my mouse pointer is blue sky!

  • Windows Movie Maker 6.0 Vista immediately stops working when you try to open.

    Hello!

    I've been all around the internet trying to solve this problem, but nothing has worked so far.  When I try to start Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for Vista, (in general), it stops working at their opening saying the following:

    "Windows Movie Maker has stopped working".

    There has been a few times when it actually opens and I can work on my videos, however, it's very, very, rare and seems to happen randomly.

    I tried to open in safe mode, but it still fails to open.  I also tried to open .avi short and simple with WMM 6.0 files to see if it will be open, but that, generally, does not either.

    Once, I was able to open random and I have disabled all the filters on the Compatibility tab and temporarily activated only video filters that I needed.  That seemed to fix the problem for several days, and I could open Movie Maker 6.0 several times.  Sometimes it would freeze everything and save, or stop working when importing video files, but at least it would be open.  I was able to record some videos.  After a few days, my computer day and WMM 6.0 is more open more.  I don't know if yes or no update is the reason why Movie Maker 6.0 started crashing again, but it was the only thing that has changed on my computer while I could uncheck the Compatibility tab filters and open WMM 6.0. [Could uncheck all filters to be part of the problem?]

    I usually works with .mov files, and I read on how this type of file sometimes causes problems with Windows Movie Maker.  However, the problem normally occurs when I try to open the program (and if WMM opens, I can very well change .mov files).  I do not think that the file type is causing the crash, but I guess that's always a possibility...

    I also read that sometimes Windows Movie Maker 6.0 for vista doesn't work with all computers that have vista installed, and Windows Movie Maker 2.6 must be used to place.  Windows Movie Maker 2.6 is working fine on my computer, but it cannot change the .mov files, or record in HD.  I had horribly degrading the quality of the video with the conversions of files to use WMM 2.6.  Windows Movie Maker 6.0 is much better, on the rare occasions that it works.  Do you think I should use Windows Movie Maker 2.6 now?

    Here are two problem reports that appear more often when you try to open Windows Movie maker 6.0.  The window of support almost always said I need to update my computer again (even if there is no new update), or that it is a problem of security Data Execution Prevention.  Windows Movie Maker cannot be added to the list of exceptions to Data Execution Prevention, or I can check to see if the filters from the Compatibility tab are always disabled in the program, I don't know how to solve this problem...

Any help and ideas would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you!

    Very often, but not always, Code exception: c0000005 is a permissions access error, so have you tried right-clicking on the MM shortcut or .exe and selecting the option "Run As Administrator"?  Other times a reinstallation of the program crash can fix.  As you can not do with Movie Maker the next best option is to try the System File Checker.

  • Satellite C660 - 115 WLan connection only works when the power cable is connected

    Hello

    A few weeks ago, I bought a Satellite C660-115. I want to surf the internet anywhere in my house without any son/cables.
    On the first day, I had this problem: when I disconnect _power_ cable, the wireless connection will stop working.

    The Web page on my screen will always be there, but a new page loading is a problem.
    It is sometimes useful to recharge (by pressing F5), - sometimes not. It is always useful to "ip address of repair", but not for long.

    The only solution is to atach regardless of how much power the battery has still the power cord.
    When I do, it is no problem whith the connection at all.
    I went back to the store where I bought it, they related to their own wireless network and they have had the same problem after a few minutes. In the shop too attach the power cable solved the problem.

    So the problem must be in my lap top, not in my network (modem or almost).

    Doesn't this all seem familiar, and if so, how can I solve this?

    I hope that my English is understandable, I live in Holland.
    Thanks in advance!
