The trackpad is completely screwed on dv7 HP Envy. w / Windows 8/8.1

Until recently, my laptop has worked almost problem-free until I started hearing some weird beep sound from the speaker. I don't know if it's relevant to the problem, but it might have something to do with it. I noticed the next day morning, the trackpad would not work correctly while being logged on to Windows. I have to hold the left click just to get the cursor to move. In addition, gestures and the part of the trackpad that lets you disable the entry work at all! The only time that the trackpad will essentially work correctly is in just about any environment before loading the Windows account.

Resolution of the problems so far:
-remove the device driver = basic function but a poor performance.
-deleted and reinstalled the driver for the trackpad on the site = same problem once more.

SOLVED! I don't know how to mark the topic as resolved, but all that was needed to solve the problem was a hard restart (remove all devices and power sources and hold the power button for about 30 seconds).

  • Dv7-7240us envy: 10 Windows and Wireless Watch limited

    I had to win 8.1 works without problem for more than 1 year.  To update to Win 10 and the Intel Centrino Wireless-N 2230 says limited connectivity.  Haven't tried all the advice of the forum for a limited connectivity (the two Win8 & Win10) any help.  I've known limited connectivity in the past (about 6 months ago) after a change in the router, but the forum resolved the issue netsh commands.  Checked HP site and the drivers are all up to date.  Intel showed a Win10 driver for the wireless card but the last page for the download was pulled before the weekend and now Intel does not list the Win10.

    I had already done all the steps that you noted.  The best thing I have found so far is the card wifi/wireless driver.  That which seems best wok is 1, 2015.  When I created this post the wifi was still down, but at this point, it is especially towards the top/running.  Thanks for the reply.

  • How to disable tap to click the trackpad for Windows 8

    I would like to disable tap-to-click on the touchpad NIJ windows 8 on my Asus laptop. I've looked everywhere and could not find an option to turn it off. I just want to be able to use the keys click.

    I found the answer of the Asus technical support. Windows operating system no longer controlling the operation of the touch pad. For my Asus Ultrabook. There is a pilot in your task wrong called "Asus Smart gesture" opened and you can turn off the tap to click. Obviously different brands use different driver. so get yours.

    I had the same problem and it took a lot of research, but I finally fixed it, and wanted to document for anyone who runs into this problem. The two methods suggested by the technical support engineer has not worked for me.

    .. .and by installing the first result. You want the "ElanTech Touchpad driver". Download all of the things on your desktop, unzip the file and begin the installation. When the installation is complete, you will be asked to reboot. After restart navigate computer > C: > Program Files > Elantech > then double-click on "ASUS_UI" (application) in this folder.
    The first page first when you open the application is labeled General gestures and has "click" as the first section. Uncheck the box "select". There is also an option of two fingers called "show the context menu" you can turn off, but it is much more difficult to trigger by accident.
    You may want to also check the box in the 4th tab, which turns off the trackpad when you have an external mouse connected.
    Good luck to all.
  • Help! I am totally, completely screwed upward a TX brand new!

    Ok.  I have an old Tungsten E, synchronized with my office.  I've got some software of third party on it.  I bought a new brilliant TX and had today.  I saved the entire record of the Palm and applications data folder on my IMac G5 (Mac OS 10.4.11) thoughtfully.  I followed closely the starting instructions, the software installed and hot-synced with data from my old tungsten e.  It has also installed all software, including the old version of Calc, of all things, on my new TX.  It reset all buttons down and destroyed the photo looks a thing.  So I tried to remove anything on the handheld which do not belong.  I've also restored the old records of palm and got rid of all the. PRC files.  Then I tried to make an another hot-synch, but when I try to hotsync, the machine stops, restarts and asks me to reset the location, date and time.  It seems that I don't have any position of hotsync.  I seem to have completely screwed up your handheld.  Is it possible to reset to how it was when it came from the factory?  What should I do?

    Thank you.

    Hello and welcome to the Community Forums of Palm.

    Your TX would have received a combination of 1) application of incompatible third party of your old T/E and 2) a T/E system file that plays well with the TX.

    As a general rule, the way to solve these problems is to go into your office files and simply rename the folder "backup" on your device.  That's where all the 3rd party apps and system/preference files are stored. After this is done, you can Hotsync your regular back of PIM data (contacts, calendar, etc.) and selectively reinstall only the third party apps you want.

    Problem is here, I can't tell you where it is on your computer cuz I'm not Mac.   But the resolution is basically the same procedure is covered by Palm knowledge base Article, and it seems to include guidance on where to find the folder user on Mac as well:

    Good luck with your new TX, let us know if that helps.

  • The trackpad gestures do not work with Sierra

    Immediately after the upgrade to the Sierra, the gestures of the regular trackpad that I had previously used with OS X have stopped working on my Macbook Pro. It's the operation slide 3 fingers, 4 fingers slide up to open mission control, sweeping to 4 fingers down to open the presentation App and the 4 finger swipe left/right to switch between desktops.

    I checked in the trackpad system preferences section, and all these actions are enabled and should be works very well, which leads me to believe that this is a problem with macOS Sierra.

    Has anyone experienced something similar or found a solution for this?

    (PS. Yes, I use better contact tool, but that does not provide a satisfactory solution)

    In my system preferences, I don't see the option for 3 fingers listed longer. Which is a shame, because I use it all the time.

  • macOS Sierra will not be closed if the trackpad and keyboard wireless is connected

    Hi, after switching to macOS Sierra, the first time that I stop my MacBook Pro, it is stuck on the dark screen with the spinning ball. I had to force him to stop by the power button. The next same thing occurs. After looking in the console log, I noticed something related to bluetooth and I discovered that my wireless keyboard and trackpad are both connected (usually, I work with my MacBook Pro on a stand and I use the wireless keyboard and the trackpad). I unplugged the bluetooth and Mac went off smoothly. Did someone else experienced this problem? And does anyone have and idea about it? With El Capitan I could turn off the mac no matter what was connected...

    Thank you.

    I use them with a MacBook Pro, but I use Trackpad and keyboard with a Mini and not have not had any problems.

  • Cold fingers should not affect the sensitivity of the trackpad to a remote AppleTV2?

    I experienced problems with the trackpad on the AppleTv2 remote while VoiceOver is enabled. (It works perfectly when Voiceover is turned off). We discussed it in the store today, but the guy was rerouted...

    In-store, it has worked for everyone except my mother cold fingers (which really needs, the voice off option as it is registered blind)-should affect the trackpad temperature or is she just unable to live in modern society?

    (Only Apple TV 4 has a trackpad, so I guess that's what you meant).

    Touch sensitivity depends on many factors, but the temperature and, above all, of sweating the difference.

    ATV4 settings for control of Siri is adjustable at what speed he reacts to movement of touchpad. Updated the speed slower can be useful.

    Also note that other remotes can be programmed to control ATV and there are many accessibility options that can make it easier for your mother to use.

  • Pilot of the trackpad for Macbook A1181 running Windows 10

    Hello

    I have an old MacBook A1181 crossing 10 Windows Boot Camp, and I have a few problems.

    So first of all, I installed 10 Windows via Boot Camp on OS X Snow Leopard. The installation went well. Can I download Boot Camp 5.1.5640 on Apple's site. It is installed without error. I restarted and now does not work the trackpad. The trackpad has worked before installing Boot Camp, but without gestures.

    Then I followed a few steps I found on google on how to make it work again. Basically, I installed the Apple keyboard as a USB input. Now the trackpad works again, but without gestures. I don't really like as long as it's on the zoom and scroll, but really annoing be able to right click.

    The webcam drivers do not work, but I found a driver online that works perfectly.

    I now that this Macbook is old, but I hope someone has a solution.

    Maybe I should also mention that I also tried to launch Ubuntu 15 on it. With Ubuntu I was both able to scroll through and do a right-click without even installing something other than the OS itself.

    I also tried to use a software called Tracpad ++, but it has not taken in charge for this old Macbook.

    Hope someone knows what to do or just something I can try.

    It is probable, since there is no drivers certified for 7/8 year, material on W10.

    Remove Trackpad ++, if you still have. What is the currently installed driver that supports your trackpad without the right click? You have a trackpad tab in Control Panel-> Boot Camp?
