Synaptics touchpad - erratic cursor behavior

On my Compaq Presario CQ56 (Win7 64 bit) sometimes, the cursor jumps around erratically, usually to the top of the screen that I try to move the cursor down. An external mouse, it works very well. I have the latest version of the driver (15.1.6.64), and I fiddled with the settings of control without result Panel. Sometimes it works fine and I tried to correlate the time that it is wrong with everything I do when this happens (for example if it happens after the laptop has been for a long time) but no luck so far (and in particular, it may happen now, I open the lid or after 10 hours of use). It makes no difference how hard or soft as I press, whose fingers are used, if the rest of my hand is far...

I also discovered something interesting. In the device settings page, the edge Motion option is disabled. However, under region Motion edge there is a diagram that shows where your finger on the touchpad. Under normal circumstances, the position of the finger is correctly reported, and the mouse cursor also moves that I have spend my finger. When the cursor is wrong, touch the top of the touch pad shows that he thinks that my finger is down. Left and right movements are traced with some degree of accuracy. Because I move my finger down, it suddenly jumps to show that my finger is on the top. Put it down, and yet once it pops up. Meanwhile the mouse hardly moves at all, which seems to indicate that the driver don't is not the operating system to generate messages of mouse movement.

Any ideas?

In desperation I completely uninstalled the Synaptics driver, and I now have a touchpad that follows actually just my finger instead of developing its own ideas to dominate the world. It was a bit of a struggle to convince Windows 7 (which has also its own agenda to dominate the world) that I wanted to remove the driver completely, but now I'm using the mouse Microsoft PS - 2 vanilla driver has nothing fancy features which I never use and which seem only to lead to complications, Synaptics bug code and a lot of grief for their unwitting victims.

Before I uninstalled the Synaptics driver, I continued my comments and noticed that the touchpad seems to work reliably after a restart, until I right click on it. I could imagine that, and I'm certainly not trying to confirm leaving a team of Synaptics software geniuses near my machine again for some time. Still, someone else could benefit from observation. You never know.

Serve and enjoy, Synaptics.

Thanks for the reply with the details,

If the computer is in warranty, they should be able to repair or replace defective parts, however, the computer will remain the same.

What we must do now is to wait until recover you the computer to the HP repair center and everything should be taken in charge power off.

Synaptics touchpad 64-bit improvements has stopped working.

Hi guys,.

I recently bought new HP 15-r022tx Notebook PC (product number: J6M27PA) which comes with free back, installed windows 7 x 64 and set to update all drivers HP online, after all the last update I get an error message at startup "synaptics touchpad 64-bit improvements has stopped working".

have tried to configure the settings of the mouse but wen I try to access the setting of the mouse, I get an error message "unable to connect to the synaptics pointing device driver.

have uninstalled and re installed driver from hp support still the same problem.

so after some research online and no luck in one of them, I continued using tour by closing the program on the first error message every time you start no function touchpad synaptics as two key scrolling, zoom etc... but sometimes the cursor jumps erratically all about and moves on its own with no contacts in the touchpad, click options do not work wen cursor strats to move each time you start himself, after an observation that I noticed that the mouse works well on (by closing the program some special functions on the error without touchpads) until I right click it (sometimes after the first click a few times After several clicks) until I right click on using the keyboard, the mouse seems to be working well but after I right click of the mouse, he goes to his way.

any suggestions guys

Thanks guys...

Finally, I found a fix for the touchpad driver. Looking at the page of the recommended laptop touchpad driver laptop 15-r022tx, I noticed that in the tab system requirements, only Windows 8 is mentioned. It seems that this driver only works for Windows 8. In Google search again for the Synaptics touchpad driver, I found this link to the HP Web site.

http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?CC=UK&LC=en&softwareitem=ob-116587-1

This driver is supported for all variants of Windows 7 - x 32 and x 64 (as told by the website).

The driver in this link works perfectly well for computer laptop 15-r022tx. Downloaded and installed the driver. He followed with a reboot. The multi touch features and scrollbars now work correctly in my Windows 7 x 64 operating system.

Satellite L955 - 10K - Synaptics Touchpad Driver is not working properly

Hello, ASRR here.

I had a problem with my driver for the Synaptics touchpad yesterday. I'm very used to use the "gestures" to work with my touchpad and the gestures did not work properly (in fact at all) for a while. Scrolling with two fingers, three fingers touch and others (in fact all the gestures) no longer work.

The cursor moves, and works fine but not gestures.

When I go to mouse option in the Control Panel, a window appears indicating that the PC is "Unable to connect to the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver." and asks me if I want to uninstall.

I have tried to uninstall, and then go on to Toshiba support page and download a driver that has been adapted for my model, operating system, etc..

When I implemented the driver I downloaded and restart the PC, the same window appears when I try to go in mouse options in Control Panel and gestures don't work.

An interesting thing I noticed though, is the fact that when I back the driver (in the settings to properties then Hardware) gestures do FINE. However, as he always asks you to restart the computer for Rolling back the driver will take place, when I restart it, it defines the Microsoft 2006 touchpad driver. who does not understand the gestures that I need.

I tried several times to fix it, but I can't. I went the UEFI firmware set up and tried to restore default but without success.

I really don't know what to do. Could someone please help?

My Toshiba model is a Satellite L-955-10 K with a 64-bit processor and system of operating Windows 8 initially installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

> I went the UEFI firmware set up and tried to restore default but without success.
How to understand this? Have you tried to put your laptop to factory settings?
To be honest I don't understand what the problem is here. I also thought that the new driver installation can help but obviously it didn't help much.

I don't know if this is an option for you, but you can set laptop to factory again and I hope that everything will work properly again. Before doing this test also to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore option.

One last thing: it has nothing to do with your touchpad problem, but I recommend you create a recovery (recovery backup image) using pre-installed recovery media creator media.

Disable Synaptics Touchpad tap to click through registry?

I have a laptop HP-G60-553NR 3 year and enjoyed with a Synaptics Touchpad (OS is Windows 7 64-bit). I use the latest & greatest, driver recommended by HP:

2009-08-28, version: 13.2.2.0 has

This driver no longer works well at all (erratic click functions, unstable, moves through the screen on its own, etc.), but there were no other updates from HP and uninstalls / reinstalls multiple set. After a ton of frustration, my only solution is to download & install the latest Synaptics driver:

2013-02-25, version: 16.3.15.1 (Windows 8/7/XP/Vista 32/64-bit Edition)

In principle, it worked well and the stability is back, but with a problem; I lost any opportunity to change the Touchpad settings - and with this driver, Tap-to-Click is ENABLED by default and I want to turn it OFF. I lost the "Device settings" tab in the control panel there are long (not), but there was also a mini-outil of support which could be installed/activated in the system tray where I could switch tap to click power. This option is no longer possible because if I install it, it reverts back to 13.2.2.0 driver.

My dilemma: 1) I can't go back to the old driver because it's a disaster. (2) I need to stay with the new driver, but I hope to find a way to disable tap-to-click.

I see only three solutions: 1) maybe the gurus of HP or some of you who monitor these forums are aware of a more recent version, stable driver that works with my particular model or 2) someone can instruct me the keys in the registry, turn the tap to click on/off so I can turn it off myself (, or 3) use external mouse all the time (which is hard to do when the mobile).

Synaptics doesn't give any support and simply tells the user to 'contact your manufacturer', so here I am. Any guidance would be appreciated. In addition to this problem, my laptop is rock solid.

Thank you!

SOLVED!

I continued to try to solve this problem after the validation and finally found at the level of the program folder Files\Synaptics\SynTP. I noticed there are several requests here, so I started to run them one by one.

SynTPEnh.exe is the latest version of the mini tool, "Synaptics Touchpad Enhancements" that I had used. It offers the possibility to load only once, or allow to load at startup in the system tray. Left click + functions simply open the Control Panel, but right click + displays the appropriate menu where I can uncheck the tap to click.

I hope this information is useful to others, because there are like mine all the ' web on several different platforms.

17 - fx114: Synaptics touchpad drivers Pinch Zoom cannot be disabled

I have done a clean install of update 1 W8.1 + added all patches + the drivers from the HP site to remove all the bloatware of the machine.

The machine works perfectly except for one thing.

The synaptics touchpad Control Panel applet drivers does not honor the deactivation of 2 fingers pinch zoom.

Also, I can't change the pinch zoom speed, which is a parameter associated with the title of this category.

Settings can be changed in the applet, but when I close the applet and the back, the check box is enabled and the cursor returns to the default position (not what I put).

All I have this problem and know how to fix?

I tried to test the registry database and it doesn't seem to be a specific "toggle" value for the pinch zoom - it a bunch of settings for the display of the window and how to disaplay video 'help' but nothing that obviously turns off the real feature! Laughing out loud!

Googling for the registry settings for the driver there is very little info and nothing specific to the settings I'm after.

All I want to do is completely disable the pinch-zoom. There is a checkbox for it; why it does not work!

Hi, Sparkles, I followed upward...

I figured it out - I was missing the chipset drivers of intel - the SMBUS of MS aparently pilot was not 100% compatible (even if it is not 'bang' in Device Manager, he has not obviously supported all functions of the drivers intel). So, here is what I did:

Removal of the touchpad in Device Manager (and also checked "uninstall driver" withdrawal confirms dialog).

Restarted.

Noticed that the Device Manager now had a shot for a SMBus device (not before - before I even did my own installation) - weird.

Tried to install the generic Synaptics drivers on their site - ng - only supports * SYN002 devices - it is * SY1E0C.

Since the SMBus device intel (DEV_8086...) I decided to reinstall the chipset drivers - AHAH! I didn't upload them when I made my own installation! DOH!

Installed the chipset drivers (after download) and restarted. Peripheral SMBus is struck.

reinstalled Synaptics touchpad drivers (HP); restarted.

When the BONE is back upward I went clickpad settings and disabled the pinchzoom (without going into the void parameters) and clicked OK to close the settings clickpad application.

Returned - BOOM! Check box is left UNCHECKED. Checked Pinchzoom does not work in IE, etc. YAY!

GOOD BLOOD! I could have SWORN that I had installed the chipset drivers!

Anyway, resolved itself

THX,

Todd

Synaptics touchpad folder

I have a HP Pavilion dv7-6c95dx Entertainment PC that has the Synaptics Touchpad. Recently, I accidentally uninstalled the Synaptics Touchpad folder and its files that control my touchpad. He now is erratically, shows an orange light on and turned little matter what I do. I need to download a copy of the Synaptics Touchpad and install the driver to recover my touchpad features. Where can I find this download?

Hello cbuckner7789,

I don't know what OS you have, but you can select here, then you should see the list of drivers available for download. It will be inside the section, 'driver - keyboard, mouse and input devices.

You can also use Recovery Manager to restore your software and drivers.

Please let me know if it helps.

Good luck!

I had an erratic cursor.

I had an erratic cursor. My battery has 265 cycles and 'normal '. I tried your ideas and I thank very you much. Right now everything is OK. I didn't acting OK for a week yet and not even for a day.

My sister sent me a spam, after that she complained to me that his computer Microsoft OS has been reinstalled. She only told me she thinks that something came in an email that I sent a few years ago! Of course, that sounds nuts to me. But my filters spam because of its using its address, its spam e-mail, passed. I also received emails with his name and a strange address (not his own.)

So, the problem started after that.

Yet, I worry that it could be the battery. My question is if the system says 'normal' what it means that the battery is any swelling?

I used a USB mouse when the cursor has gone nuts.

In addition, the level of humidity in the House was very high due to replace a hose where water has permeated interior walls, and more, wet weather and open windows, the water in the basement. Dehumidifier would be turned off and not drain.

So, I hope that the problems are the following: 1 high, humidity 2 keep the Macbook Pro 2012 procession connected permanently, but for one night surrendered the battery has been used up to almost empty this last week, 3 new OS could help.

That you and I can say, after two days of fiddling, I even downloaded Beta Sierra and ATT McAfee. My lost, just for this computer, Airport utility has lost access to my Time machine backups. But, I'm back and used immediately before the OS is loaded.

Of course, it's funny to be part blamed for a computer problem of an older sister, then to have one on a computer that is a problem that is practically free! My Macbook is amazing, and I hope that it continues to be.

The price tag of $200 on a new battery is nuts. I was happy to discover that my display problem was so common as to be a free repair. This was a few years back. I did get a repair free, although two things told to me in time, free and non-free. A battery with 265 cycles sounds and swelling sounds like a foul, but if all goes well, it is also good that the information system says it is.

Please advise me on the issue of whether the information system will be accurate as to a battery which is a failure in this way!

< branched and re-titled by host >

Here is the article from Apple support for trackpad issues:

https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT203171

What about a battery in full expansion, the ONLY way you can check who is opening the MBP and Visual inspection of the battery. The State says 'normal' is irrelevant. Should it be expanded, it must be released immediately and replaced before more expansion damages the MBP.

Ciao.

Satellite Pro P100 - Synaptics touchpad problem with Win 7

Satellite Pro P100 with Synaptics Touchpad, was now running Vista, Win 7 64 bit.
The original driver had an option "disable when the external pointing device connected.

I installed a Synaptics Synaptics_v14_0_3_C_XP64_Vista64_Win7 driver - 64_Signed_default.exe that does not have this check box.

It works fine except that sometimes the Microsoft Mouse becomes works all the seconds that she or the touchpad to fight everyone. I have to disable the touchpad.
So the next time I turn. If I do so without a mouse, I can't use the touchpad until I plug the mouse, turn it back on, then disconnect the mouse.

Thank you

Hello

Try to install the Synaptics drivers and Alps touchpad page pilot European Toshiba.
Choose the touchpad Win 7 drivers out for a satellite L500 series.

By the way; the touchpad can be enabled and disabled by using the FN + F9 button combination. It is not necessary to have all the options if FN + F9 works very well.

Equium P300-16 t with Synaptics touchpad. Stuck left button?

Hi all

I have an Equium P300-16 t with a Synaptics touchpad.
A few months back I had the following problem. As soon as I touch the touchpad or the left/right button, the icon will appear to show the button on the left as being depressed; It would be nice up to this point. I've updated the drivers, tried a system restore, checked under the button of touchpad for obstruction etc and nothing has changed.
I made a completely new reinstall of Windows... still the same problem. Suspected a defective touchpad, so I contacted Topaz for a replacement touchpad mounted that and still the same problem.

so... after having eliminated defective drivers/software/hardware, I'm out of ideas. Is there anything else I can check?

Works very well with a USB mouse.

Thank you

James

> As soon as I touch the touchpad or the left/right button, the icon will appear to show the button on the left as being depressed; It would be nice up to this point

I think you should check the settings.
In Control Panel-> mouse-> last (Advanced) tab-> the Advanced Settings button

Here, you should be able to get all the parameters of the touchpad.
In my case, I found interesting feature in the speed of the pointer and typing parameters.

There is a charming area of tape, and if you enable registration you could get access to other environments of tapping.
The option is called DragLock in my case that his automatic release and auto release delay value is set on the court.
Recommend you check this!

Qosmio X 500-116 - Pinch Zoom on Synaptics touchpad sometimes does'nt work!

Model - Qosmio X 500-116 (windows 7)

Hi all

I m occasional annoying problems with my Synaptics touchpad V7.2

Every now and again the Pinch Zoom on Synaptics Touchpad does not work (it happens about once every 5 cycles). When this happens, I m impossible to enlarge/reduce the size of the screen of internet browsers or msoffice documents. Although I can still use the keyboard to increase or decrease the size.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver it came with (version - 13.2.7.3) but the problem remains the same.

I checked Toshiba site for the Synaptics Driver updates for my machine. It lists my current driver 13.2.7.3 and also another version of the 14.0.15.0 driver.

I figured that I d try to install version 14.0.15.0, that he went through the motions of the facility, then at the end, that nothing happened and he n t installed. So I went back to version 13.2.7.3

Has anyone encountered this problem? If so, any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated!

Kind regards

Bren

HP ENVY M6-1105dx: Synaptics Touchpad freezes briefly after typing

The touchpad of my HP Envy M6 1105dx hangs for several seconds after you type on the keyboard, each time. This problem started after I upgraded to windows 10. My drivers are up to date. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers, but that has not worked. I would rather not reinstall windows if I didn't, so I decided to come here. All advice is appreciated.

Hey, I had the same problem and it's really frustrating.

Here's what I did to solve the problem, I hope it helps.

Open 'Control Panel' by clicking on search and enter the control panel.

Then, open "Synaptics Touchpad", it will have a version number after it I think. Mine did.

Then click Advanced in the upper tabs.

Then you should see that a "filter activation time" set it to zero seconds.

Test now by typing and then move the mouse and see if that fixes the problem... it's me.

The faulty Synaptics Touchpad on x 2 13-m121sa Split driver causing frost and lack of response from the mouse

Edit: I found a solution, scroll down.

I had problems with my new Split x 2 similar to those already explained in the forums by other users. The symptoms are:

1. unusual hanging or freezing of the mouse pointer on the screen and the use of gestures temperament (two fingers to scroll, zoom, etc.).

2. slowdown in the computer in general; acting lethargic and freezing during light use or after closing the display.

The symptoms seem to change according to the duration of the computer was operated and are affected by the screen from the dock of disconnection/reconnection.

Being very good with these things, I decided to investigate and discovered the following:

The root cause of both problems is the driver for the Synaptics Touchpad. While the latest version available on the HP website (17.0.10.9) seems to solve all unusual freezing of the pointer it has a large memory leak. In other words, when you move it on the touchpad pointer uses the memory of the computer. This is normal, but the problem is that the driver for the touchpad does not return memory; It cannot be reassigned. In other words, after a few hours of computer use (or to have the display closed) memory reached saturation point and the version of the computer to a halt.

If you encounter the same problem take a look for yourself: open the Task Manager and look at the performance tab. Under the brief entitled you will find a value for "Non paged pool. With the computer idle, this number will not rise, but move the mouse and you will see it go gradually upwards without return. I have confirmed this to be the Synaptics driver using the Windows tool poolmon.exe - the culprits are the Irp and SynT.

About the solutions, I tried a lot - but there is no absolute solution.

You can uninstall the Synaptics Touchpad driver and the problem will disappear - the memory usage is no longer freezing or high. But unless the driver that the computer is to use the standard Windows driver - there is therefore no multitouch gestures like scroll or zoom in.

I tried to install the generic Synaptics driver available on their site, and the computer will not allow him. Regardless of this, I forced the installation of the driver, but the generic driver does not work with this Touchpad anyway (error code 10). I tried the latest version (17.0.19) and a former one (16.2.21) without success. Even earlier (e.g. 15.x.x) refused to run on the grounds of incompatibility.

HP support suggested a "Refresh" of system setting to factory, but put aside from the huge inconvenience of time and losing files - I know that this does not work either. Apparently a clean install worked for a single user - but for this you need an installation of Windows or USB disc that I did not - and I am skeptical that it would work anyway.

So now I use the touchpad driver Windows standard without being able to scroll, zoom or use them slide-in gestures of Windows 8.1.

If a representative from HP is reading this, I strongly suggest that this issue be escalated. A simple update to Synaptics could solve this problem which is causing the computers people freeze and lose your support staff time.

TL; DR: Driver HP Touchpad is defective and causes a memory leak. Synaptics has generic drivers do not work. And the standard Windows drivers are not satisfactory.

SOLVED!

Through my own research I found a solution. While the most recent driver listed under this model is 17.0.10.9 it is actually a newer version which doesn't have this problem: version 17.0.10.16!

I am always disappointed that HP has not suggest this solution themselves, given this driver was published in November 2013! HP if you're reading this: Please allow this driver for this model in your support pages.

In any case, the solution is:

1. open Device Manager (Control Panel-> hardware and sound-> Device Manager)

2 in the 'mice and other pointing devices' open «HID Synaptics TouchPad»

3. in the "Driver" tab, click "Uninstall".

4. the pointer will disappear - restart the computer

5. download the new driver from here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?cc=uk & lc = on & softwareitem = ob-127354-1

(if that link fails try to search online for 'synaptics driver 17.0.10.16')

6. open and install the driver

I hope this helps. HP, please send my consulting fees through PayPal (!)
