• Pavilion g7 Notebook PC windows 7 - changes on the desktop when moving the mouse to the keyboard

  I have a HP Pavilion g7 Notebook PC running windows 7.  When I use the mouse (wireless or wired) and then click to add text - when I go to type on the keyboard - the window becomes the office window. If I drag on the touchpad, returns the original window. This happens quite often.  Any suggestions as to what may cause this problem?

  Hey pjg316,

  I'm sorry that you run into this problem from touchpad. There are gestures multitouch built into many laptops touchpad drivers. Synaptics (the manufacturer of touchpad) did a good job of making these features very customizable gesture.

  It seems that perhaps the four fingers Flick that causes this problem. You can either

  (1) disable it so it never happens, or

  (2) you can set the sensitivity of the mouse so that it does not recognize your hand/fingers hovering / brushing in the touchpad as the flick of four fingers.

  To view these settings:

  1. click on the Start button

  2. type "mouse".

  3. click on the tab to the right. He can say "ClickPad" / "TouchPad" / "Device" / 'Synaptics' settings depending on what version you have.

  

  4. then click on settings for ClickPad.

  

  5. If you want to disable the four fingers flick, just to develop gestures MultiFinger and uncheck the box. Don't forget to click on apply to save the changes.

  If you want to change your sensitivity and keep the four fingers flick activated, expand pointing and double-click sensitivity. Adjust the slider only one notch at a time, to avoid making too big of a change that would make the touchpad is very sensitive. Don't forget to click on apply to save the changes.

  If you make any changes you want to UN - do, you can always click the default button at the bottom left. Let me know if you have any questions

• HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC: restore the system and drivers

  Hello. A few days ago I faced a bad experience with my laptop HP Pavilion dv6 Notebook PC. System crashed. At any time, I tried to turn it on, an error message appears and the system was blocked. The message was: FILE: \BOOT\BCD status 0xc000000f, asking for the disc of Windows 7 system running. But the system disk did not run at all. I checked the situation and found the hard drive with 6 partitions instead of 2. I found a named partition BOOT (X which was a replica of C:.)  When I tried to restore the system with the recovery disc, something has obtained control of the recovery disc, so that C: might not be formatted; nor was X:. Also, I tried to cancel the file in X: but disc was protected and does not allow changes. If only I could get my uninstalled hard drive and all partitions have been cleaned. I got my hard drive cleaned perfectly, but my recovery disk can be installed correctly. So, the system has not yet restored. My question is: what should I do to get my laptop with the system restore? any ideas?

• Keyboard problems - the circumflex accent keeps jumping around while I type! HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

  Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

  Product number: B1W89EA #ABU

  Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

  I have made no recent changes.

  Problem:

  Everything by typing the caret keeps jumping to the top of the screen so that the text I'm in the mid typing eventually disappear to a random position longer than the top of the page, I already typed in the middle of the text.

  For a few weeks, I assumed that it was just me slipping, as I only started using the shortcut ctrl + arrow keys to scroll the text easier. However, I am becoming very sure that this is not the case because it happens to average flow by typing quite normal (i.e. not involving not the arrow keys at all!).

  I didn't have this laptop last summer, but I'm a finalist uni and REALLY rely on my laptop. I type a lot, and it's really annoying and inconvenient

  Hello NerdWhale.  I understand that you are having problems with your keyboard.

  You should try to remove the keyboard and reset the laptop hard driver.  This will force the material in order to be reset.  Try the following.

  1. Click Start, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER.
  2. Expand the section of keyboards.
  3. Right-click on each device and select uninstall.
  4. Shut down the laptop.
  5. Remove the battery and AC power.
  6. Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, three times.
  7. Replace the battery and AC power.
  8. Start Notepad and allow Windows to reinstall the drivers.
  9. Check whether the problem is resolved and post the result.

  I'll keep an eye out for your answer.  Have a great day!
