Satellite C660 - TouchPad freeze at startup

Hi I'm new and this is my first post so please be gentle!

I have a Satellite C660 with windows 7 purchased as a refurb factory it is my 1st laptop, I have a problem after startup, and everything loaded on my desktop, it seems that if I use my TouchPad too early it freezes, he did it since I bought it, but I thought it was me being not used to a touchpad and the "bloatware" to start is the only way I can get the pointer to move if I have a finger from the top to the bottom of line scrolling to the right of the TouchPad horizontally or diagonally, it moves very slowly until I can be open and close a browser window, the file or even the startup window, then it will then act as usual and do not freeze again for my entire session If I leave it for five minutes at the start, it works fine, sometimes it will freeze also out of standby or hibernation, but not always.

OK, I thought maybe it was the necessary driver update I checked in Device Manager and it said it was working properly but that of course is when the pointer is as it should be, in the Device Manager if I pilot of the touchpad/driver/update and internet search it tells me I have the drivers updated If I choose to search for a driver on my computer/let pick me from a list of device drivers that I have the following:-

Mouse Compatible PS/2
Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible TouchPad
Synaptics PS/2 Port Compatible TouchPad
Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

I should have all those showing? can someone with a file of similar specifications check that for me please?

strange thing is that if I go to TouchPad properties via the taskbar, and then click driver all options except the driver Details are grayed out and done, I can open two windows of TouchPad properties from the device and the task bar manager and have them on the screen at the same time.

Some things I should mention are a mouse in the usb works fine, I stopped a lot of the "bloatware" and would help the useless stuff running at startup, hoping that I have disabled the function of locking of the click on the TouchPad, sound as it needs to be "warmed up" to run correctly when running properly it works fine without problem as the laptop came pre installed and only Disc I have is the recovery one create you the initial Setup!
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello

First of all, I don t think that this problem is related to the installed touchpad driver but if you wish, you can install the latest touchpad driver available from the European driver Toshiba.

Visit the European driver Toshiba page and choose:
Computer laptop Satellite Satellite C series Satellite C660 driver Touchpad

Now you should get all the touchpad driver available for C660 series.
I found the driver for the touchpad Synaptics for Win7 32 bit and 64 bit.
The latest version seems to be v15.2.11.1

I think you should go to Panel of-> Software
Check here if Synaptics touchpad driver appear in the list of installed software.
If so, uninstall the present.
Then, download and install the Synaptics v15.2.11.1 driver

The touchpad settings could be changed in Control Panel-> mouse-> tab advanced-> button Advanced.

  • Cannot load Windows 7 - Satellite C660 guard freezing

    Hello world.

    This is a biggy. I have a Toshiba AMD Vision Satellite C660 / C660D laptop without Windows installation disc. Last week, it has become very slow, the interface resembles that of the interface of safe mode, then finally, he became completely unresponsive, therefore, through F8 on start-up I selected the option to return to the factory settings (I have this option)

    The BACK screen appeared and started normal loading then who responded, then I rebooted only to see Windows starts for the first time and carry the load, before that I had to create a cd boot from my other laptop to reboot the system that I had lost the boot mngr.

    The last part of the installation process begins whereby a white Toshiba screen appears with a green progress bar which is responsible for some drivers (see attachment). There are 39 steps to this process and I remember before the computer should keep restart itself, but it keeps freezing after about two steps. I kept turning it off and eventually the locked system administrator accounts.

    Once more, I restarted the PC, but this time in safe mode, the operating system did in fact load in safe mode and I created a few new accounts with administrator privileges, however, I still cannot load all of the operating system because it keeps freezing during the last part of the process.

    I have very limited knowledge of loading operating systems, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    First of all, it was a big mistake NOT to create a recovery disk Toshiba.
    The recovery of HARD drive that you were able to start pressing F8, is only possible if the HARD drive is not defective.
    I think in your case I think that there is something wrong with the HARD drive because there was a Bishop of startup notification which means that this laptop can not find a boot manager to boot the system.

    I have no other idea about trying to reinstall the system using the Toshiba Recovery disk or another drive in Windows 7 (of course if you have one)
    If the recovery fails, you will need to investigate on how much material could be affected. I think in this case it of needed to start with HARD disk check.
    Possibly the HARD drive needs to be replaced. Of course it is possible that I m wrong part is affected, but at the first step you should check the new installation of the OS.

    A recovery disc can be ordered here:

  • Satellite C660 - touchpad problems

    Hello

    I have problems with the touchpad on my Satellite C660. I have only had it for about 2 & 1/2 months, and the problem seems to be worse.

    I tried to check for drivers, changing the settings of the touchpad, but nothing helped.
    The main problem is that when you move your finger on the pad, the cursor will not move, however it also scrolls the page more or less important size.

    I'm quite frustrated because it is essentially a new machine.

    Everyone has ideas, or should I try to get replaced by a new one.

    Thank you

    James

    Looks like you're triggering gestures. For example, if you press the right side of the touchpad, it will allow the scroll bar.

    You can disable these features in the advanced Touchpad settings.

    Hey Buddy,

    > The game is not graphics intensive and worked for about a month without any problems, has recently started to freeze
    This could mean that the laptop is overheating
    The reason for overheating is the dust that blocks the fan for laptop gets hotter

    I recommend to clean using a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. You can do it without disassembling the computer so it is very easy and takes only 5 minutes.
    Just remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter before doing this.

    For example I clean my laptop every 4 months because a lot of dust is coming so it s worth it.

  • Satellite C660-1NX freezes while stop after a new install of Win 7

    Hello!

    The first sorry for my English, I'm Spanish and use a translator.

    I have a Satellite C660-1NX (PSC1LE-00F00NCE), I had to reformat the computer, put on a clean Windows 7 64 x (no recovery) with all the original drivers giving the official page of Toshiba.

    Everything seems perfect, but when turn off the computer is frozen, I thought it was x 64 and x 86 and install the same, straight day, then started the same problem, eh update of the BIOS, as used before formatting it didn't happen, it's very weird.

    I find that the reason for the problem never happened to any computer that.

    Best regards

    and what happen when you install the system using the recovery disk?
    The laptop is too cold?

    I doubt that someone will be able to say why the unit does not close properly.
    First of all, I think its necessary to find out if its hardware or software problem.

    In the case where its software related issue, the recovery disc that contains the image of configured Toshiba should fix this annoying problem.

    > dear toshiba, he is a stupid way to package a laptop without disc or recovery and I'm without a copy of manufacturers of windows 7 to my laptop, if you ask me its quite half cooked by design and very annoying.

    First of all its user forum at
    Second: read operating instructions you will find information on the recovery disc this disc must be created in the first day of buying using the preinstalled software called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

    > my old toshiba satellite c660-2ef decided at the United Nations 10 months to recognize the HARD drive itself and after checking bindings cables and a good visual check, I went as far as buying a new SSD to replace the old drive as his is dead, it does not work either.

    Not all SSD drives are compatible it might be a BIOS<->SSD drive compatibility issue but its certainly NOT BIOS corruption as you suggested.
    Sometimes, manufacturers of SSDS offer an update of the firmware of SSD
    If these updates does not resolve the SSD drive, try another disc SSD
    But in general the disk SATA SSD or HDD must be supported.

  • Satellite A300-1EG freezes at startup

    I recently repartitioned (some partitions, including recovery, have been removed) drive and tried to install Windows 7. During installation, after choosing the installation partition Setup stopped responding (I could move the mouse pointer, but nothing else).

    I turned off laptop by pressing the power on button for 5 seconds, but now system crashes at "Toshiba Leading Innovation" screen whenever I turn it on.

    I can't access selector installation or startup, multimedia keys are flashing when you press on, lights work and respond to plug/unplug AC. Only the HHD led is turned on, but dimmed by comparing to others. Caps lock does not, laptop turns off after pressing power, without holding it.

    Before that I had some problems with the HDD, rare file system errors and Windows XP Setup was not working (frozen after Installer message determines the configuration system and constantly read disk until you restart).

    Hello

    Well, according to you the description, a HARD disk error may be possible.
    Have you tested the HARD drive?
    Isn't it?

    Then, you should do this; There is a nice drive test tool called HARD HARD drive Fitness Test.
    You can download it from various pages just google and you will find

    If the HARD drive fitness test will detect some errors then you replace the HARD drive.

    That s my personal opinion

  • Satellite A300 immediately freezes after startup

    Laptop running this morning and got a warning from Norton telling that my Antivirus software has been disabled.
    I never turned it off before so could not understand this.
    In any case, I clicked on the icon of fix in Norton, but it's stuck on 7%.

    I could still move the cursor on the screen, but nothing would work. I tried CTRL + ALT + DELETE, but that made no difference.
    Shut down the laptop by holding the power button. Once re-boot returned to Norton to try the complete analysis of the system, but after a few minutes it may stuck as before.
    Once again restarted and connected to the internet but once again after a few minutes it may jam. It seems, no matter what I do, it only takes 4-5 minutes before locking up.

    I looked on other forums using pc at work for possible corrections. Similar problems appear to be at with good overheating that found a site that suggests, it might be Service Pack associated.

    Does this sound right?
    Any help please welcome.

    Please answer in bases, as I am not an expert.

    Thanks in advance.

    It seems that this software does not work properly now, maybe you should reinstall it and update again.

    Or I have another idea.

    You could remove the software from the system and could switch to another tool called Avira Antivir I use this antivirus software and it s free and really big because this does not focus on the system such as Symantec's Norton.
    I read that Norton Antivir needs a lot of system resources. This might be the reason of your gel

  • Satellite C660 freezes at startup

    Hey guys can help you with my laptop, Toshiba Satellite C660-17J. At startup, it freezes even though not all the time. By freezing, I mean I can move the mouse but not open anything and nothing on the task bar highlight. The only thing I can see different is that the (wireless) network icon does not appear. The last time he if but showed only the networks symbol search.

    If I turn the laptop using the power button and start in safe mode and then restart it works OK. Do you have any suggestions whats the cause?

    Maybe your system is confusing to the top?
    Did you test new OS install? Would certainly recommend that you test this before more detailed investigations.
