Touchpad cause me pain

I think that I'm causing this problem, and I do not know how to solve.

When I'm on a web page, I use the touchpad for the mouse.

I think that when I drag my fingers on the pad I am also activate something that cause the font size increase or decrease. I think that it is decreasing when I drag to the left and increases as I drag to the right.

I tried different ways to use the cushion but no good result.

Is it possible to disable this feature, causing the police size changes?

TIA

Thanks again for your interest in this problem. I found a solution on another site (Microsoft). You are right to suggest that it is the Synaptics driver who is at fault.

I have copied below the instructions that worked for me:

There seems to be a problem with the latest Synaptics driver reset of the user to reboot. There is a workaround to Synaptics updates and corrects the problem:

  1. Hit Win + R > type 'regedit' > click OK. The Registry Editor opens.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\Install.
  3. In the installation folder, you will find a key named DeleteUserSettingsOnUpgrade. Double-click on this key.
  4. Set the value to 0. Click OK.
  5. Go to the Synaptics settings and put everything at your leisure. Restart the computer.

  • Touchpad causing excessive use of CPU on Vostro 3558 (Windows 10)

    Hello.

    I am therefore unable to use Windows 10 because using the touchpad causes the process "System and compressed memory" to use more than 30% of CPU.

    I made a GIF showing what I mean:

    As soon as I start to scroll and move the pointer this process ("Sistema y memoria compartida" in Spanish, but it's the same, ntoskrnl.exe) raises my CPU usage, as you can see.

    I tried a lot of things, but I always have to go back to Windows 7 or Windows 8.

    -J' uses latest Touchpad drivers from the site Web of Vostro 3558.

    -J' tried 19.0.9.4 old synaptic drivers for Vostro 3558 by www.dell.com/.../DriversDetails

    -J' lastest synaptics.com generic drivers, tried both SMBus and IC2 versions, but they do not work at all (I even manually installed them in Device Manager).

    -This has happened the upgrade of Windows 8 to 10 of Windows and installs also in fresh Win10.

    Without drivers from dell (using default microsoft HID Driver and synaptics.com), I get no problems of use of CPU, but none of the gestures of course.

    I ask for help because I don't want to stay in Win7/Win8, and it drives me crazy.

    I fixed it messing with Vostro 3559 touchpad driver and driver Lenovo Yoga 3 1370.

    IN FACT, WINDOWS 8.1 HAS THE SAME PROBLEM, I HAVE NOT TRIED WINDOWS 10.

    THE STEPS I DID TO FIX IN WINDOWS 8.1;

    1. install the VOSTRO 3559 Windows 7 touchpad drivers:

    2. open Device Manager, open the section "Mice and other pointing devices" and right click on "Dell Touchpad" (it should be named only after having installed the drivers Vostro 3559). Select "Update driver software".

    3. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer"

    4. uncheck the "Show compatible hardware", go to "Synaptics" and select "Touchpad"

    5. now if you check your device manager there is NO HIGH CPU USE, BUT TOUCHPAD IS LAG like *, as on some XPS models.

    Now, why I did everything above? Because I can not install directly Lenovo Touchpad drivers without installing the first software of Vostro 3559. Synaptics software simply does not therefore not gestures.

    6. DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL THE WINDOWS 8.1 LENOVO YOGA TOUCHPAD DRIVERS 3

    Direct link:

    7. OPEN the DEVICE MANAGER AGAIN AND THE SAME THING, BUT THIS TIME WE will USE "LENOVO POINTING DEVICE" rather than "TOUCHPAD" OR "DELL TOUCHPAD"

    8. YOU're not in MEASUREMENT OF CLICK NOW AS a RESULT OF SWITCHING THE DRIVER, so YOU WILL NEED AN EXTERNAL MOUSE, OPEN TASK MANAGER AND CLOSE ALL SYNAPTICS and PROCESS RELATED of TOUCHPAD.

    9. GO TO C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP AND OPEN SYNTPENH. EXE


    10. HERE, YOU HAVE A JOB ENTIRELY TOUCHPAD WITHOUT MAKING YOUR CRAZY CPU

    You don't need to do anything at the next start of Windows, it is already fixed.

    REFERENCE DELL FIX YOUR DRIVERS.

  • Tecra M9 Win7 x 64 driver required to disable the touchpad

    Hello

    I installed Windows 7 x 64 on my Toshiba Tecra and everything works great so far. But I have trouble with my touchpad.

    The touchpad works, the problem is, I want to put out of service. I only work with the stick and the touchpad causes an arrow of jumping mouse; with the tap function to click very often large sections of text are deleted.

    Under Vista 32, I was able to disable the touchpad. Und Win 7 that I miss this feature. I tried several things; e.g. installation of drivers more portable Toshiba or from synaptics page or, Alternatively, drivers for keyboards-Alps. But nothing works.

    The laptop is a Tecra M9 PTMB0E; the PCI ID of the touchpad is PNP0F13

    Thank you

    JM

    Hello

    The Alps Electric to another Toshiba laptop touchpad driver should work because the touchpad is the same.
    So Don t understand why you are not able to install the driver for the touchpad.

    Usually the touchpad can be disabled using FN + F9 function.
    To get the functionality of the FN button that you need to install VAP and Flash memory card Support utility. I chose two other series of satellites (L500) applications.

    Try this.

  • X 1 carbon TouchPad 'tap' issue

    From a T400 and T430 I used to work perfectly keys touch. Side with keyboards cela an important reason for me to buy premium priced at Lenovos on other areas of activity. And I use the TouchPad almost exclusively in particular places of clients and on the trips, which represents 80% of my work.

    With the new X 1 carbon (3448AW6) that I have a very annoying problem with ~ 70% failure in grateful 'tapping', such as mouse clicks. Wet conditions feel bad at the beginning, which is mentioned by UltraNav documentation. A few observation I find that it is pretty much the same in very dry air of winter in Europe.

    Description of the problem:

    By tapping touchpad causes the mouse pointer stirring a little left and right, as if there was a small movement - and not tapping. Sometimes it wiggles and also recongnizes look, but most of the time it isn't. With very firm tapping, this can be avoided about 90% - but is not an acceptable solution, the same thing with using the TrackPoint buttons only.

    Change the 'touch' sensitivity in the UltraNav settings does not lead to any improvement on the standard parameters, which is surprising. I guessed that the sensitivity would be the reason for all this.

    I want my reliable TouchPad behavior of the T4x0 return series. They worked reliably in humid Southeast and Asia throughout the rest of the world. Someone at - it an idea to solve this problem?

    Hi again, ixomon

    There is a latest driver that we can try to install it. This driver is the base of Synaptics driver. This driver has helped other issues where the UltraNav driver didn't, so it can provide assistance. This driver is located here.

    Good luck

  • the magic Mouse loses connection

    I have an iMac 21.5 "running 10.11.6. Recently, I added a to an existing stereo system bluetooth connectivity so I could broadcast on the system. By the way since then I lose my connection to the mouse. I get "connection lost" notification even if the mouse is sitting idle without hands even near him. I tried the suggested pieces of paper, battery replacement and any other thing, I found displayed. Nothing works. As I was typing that I got the message several times, and I'm not even using the mouse! I have another computer in another location and plan to try to see if the problem changes switching. I suspected that the additional bluetooth device could be the culprit, but I tried to unplug and had the same results. It is not a problem with another computer running the same operating system, even if a year or two older hardware. The intermittent mouse problem existed before, but I've lived with him because he doesn't seem to be that bad. Now, I have moved and am in an apartment complex and wonder if there is an interference cause me pain. I do not know to replace the mouse by a non Apple device can solve the problem or if I need to use a WIRED one remedy! The keyboard has never given me problems and with the exception of the low battery notification, it has worked perfectly.

  • Why should I keep entering my password Apple ID?

    Four days ago, when I got up, I saw a message on my MacMini (OSX 10.11.5) of Fantastical telling me that my iCloud password is incorrect. I entered the password that I knew was correct several times, but he kept to the rejection. I gave up and cancelled the dialog box.

    A few minutes later, I received a message from the OS telling me that the Mac cannot connect to iCloud because the password is incorrect.

    When I went to iCloud in system preferences to enter the password, I received a message telling me that my iCloud account was suspended and I have go to iforgot.apple.com to reset the password. No information on why the account has been suspended and no choice for me, while continuing to use the old password.

    So, no other choice. I went to julien inconu and reset the password.

    Then the nightmare began...

    I have a total of five devices of Apple that are associated with the same AppleID, iCloud, iTunes account, etc.: two AppleTV 4, a 6s, an iPad iPhone 3 and a MacMini 2009.

    Once I reset the password to the MacMini became essentially useless because of a large number of requests for password: iCloud, iMessage, iTunes, Apple music, messaging and so on for more than half an hour. The same thing happened with other devices. At the time wherever I stopped counting, I got my new password on different devices over 50 times? Is this really necessary?

    But it does not stop there. This lasted for days with the same password requested on various devices over and over and over and over again.

    Four days later it is still ongoing. I have been using on my iPad iMessage regularly. But, this afternoon, I received the message: "sign in with your Apple ID to activate iMessage. What the devil? I activated iMessage on iPad years ago and updated the password for Apple ID last Saturday. Why again?

    I was about to order a new iPad Mini today to replace my old iPad, but I now wonder if it would be wise. I really want to stay invested in infrastructure that has caused me pain for the last four days?

    It is possible that the original password reset request was started because someone may have been trying to hack your account (or someone had used wrong your e-mail account to connect to their account because of the similarities). Apple has no control over that.

    What I would say, and it may seem a bit tedious, is to disconnect from iCloud on all your devices, and then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and sign in. If you have no error log on your password to stay connected to the next step. If you receive errors of password follow the instructions to reset your password.

    Once you have successfully log in the web site of Apple ID management stay connected. Now, one at a time, sign in to your account iCloud on each of your devices but refresh the page on the web site Apple ID management between each additional device. Make sure that each device as they connect to iCloud are added to your list of "Trusted devices" on the website of Apple ID management.

    Once all devices have been connected to your iCloud account consider activation of Apple's two-factor authentication to protect your iCloud account against unauthorized access. For more information and how to enable two-factor authentication, see this web page.

    For Apple ID - Apple Support two-factor authentication

    NOTE: Two-factor authentication is new mechanism to protect Apple iCloud account. It's not not to be confused with the old audit of two steps of Apple. They are activated differently.

  • Keyboard does not work on my Satellite U50T-A-100

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite U50T-A-100. My keyboard just in case work yesterday. I've had it for a year and a half and unfortunately the warranty is only a year (he had already fixed once again under warranty). I tried to fix myself, tried several tips found on online forums, as this seems to be a very common problem.

    I desperately need this to be fixed because I have a deadline for school reports and cannot write on I - pad... Anyone has any advice that would help solve the problem? I also think about buying an external keyboard.

    Thank you

    I assume you have the same problem, as already described in this thread:
    https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/showthread.php?82748

    Probably the last updates from Microsoft, as well as updated for ELAN touchpad caused some problems and so you cannot use the touchpad or keyboard...
    You could solve this problem using the mouse external USB and loading of the last restore point.

  • The LED screen is used in different iPhones to AMOLED?

    I have a neurological disease, and when I tried the iPhone 6 it caused severe pain in my eyes. Talk to Apple, I think that there are many factors, which increased the contrast ratio and the double domain pixels for wider view angles. Each single possible remedy and the brightness setting advanced (things like abd reducing the point white/reduce transparency/darken colors and also using the trick in the zoom settings which can be lower than the standard options brightness) has been tried with the help of the Apple support, but nothing helped, so I went back to my iPhone 5 s.

    I am interested in the iPhone, and screen specifications are the same as the children of 5 years, with the exception of the screen LED instead of the LCD screen. He explained to me by a sales guy Apple that this would make the brighter than 5 s screen, but I hope that this can be supported with advanced above settings and functionality of night shift, which I already use. I tried once a Samsung phone with an AMOLED screen, and who has been terrible for my eyes and had to be returned.

    So, when Apple said that the SE (and their other current phones) are HEADED, they mean AMOLED, or is there a difference? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.

    No, Apple did not use any screen AMOLED displays still on any of their devices.  Poster of line Samsung Galaxy may be best know series with AMOLED screen, but Motorola and Nokia have used on some of their devices too.

    Any screen LCD needs backlight behind it to display anything, and on small portable devices that meant for the White Backlight LED (older computer LED screens and televisions used actually cold cathode ray tubes - fluorescent tubes).  Apple retina displays are still fairly traditional IPSLCD led displays for the backlight.  "Retina" is just brand name Apple for their superiors than standard resolution LCD screens.

    The terms LED display and the LCD display are unfortunately become almost synonyms in the speech from the market.  But the actual display is an LCD screen and the light source that shines through it to display the image's LEDs.  An LCD on an iphone without backlight appears simply black.

  • TEMPRO Utility from Toshiba and driver updates needed?

    Hi I'm a basic user and not that technically minded can install, uninstall windows updates programs but have been little disconcerted by this Toshiba Tempro tool.

    Do I really need to use it as am really satisfied with the way my laptop works, no graphic problem (so do I really need to update my driver), starts without questions its not work fantastically and what scared me more on the use of this tool is, I play a computer game called The Sims 2 and my other desktop computer , I did some updates on advise of a tech support agent and it messed up parts of my game.

    So now you have scared, terrified, in fact, not to use anything other that of windows updates touch wood have been harmless to my game on my desktop for the 18 months, it has been connected to the internet.

    So can someone honestly tell me it's 100% necessary to use this tool that I surf the net, e-mail, play my Sims 2 game, write letters (then burn to disk or copy of flash player as not connected to the printer) and it's really he don't need to use this tool.

    Any help would be appreciated as am not technically trained and play my game takes my mind off my handicap when his cause me pain and do not want to take the risk of upsetting my laptop, or several parts of my game of demolition if not really necessary because of what I use the laptop for.

    Also, if anyone can help if they tell me how to make them "brownie" points, help points whatever it is, you can get on here will do it certainly also really would appreciate any help.

    Hello.
    Okay, to be honest with you, if your laptop is working well and that you have no problem or something like that, then I can tell you, that you have no need to update the drivers or utilities.

    Just for that, when you really have problems with your hardware or things are confused. But it seems to me, you are happy with your machine, just as it is now.

    Hopefully, I could help you not to get too worried about all that.

  • Problem installing Bootcamp on MBP late 2011

    Hello

    I have a model of Macbook Pro late 2011 and I wanted to install Windows 8.1. I downloaded the ISO file and installed the file on a flash drive and downloaded the drivers from Microsoft support as well. Boot camp successfully installed the ISO and the files on the flash drive and partitioned my disk and initialized in the flash drive (with success), entered my activation code. However, when it came time to choose my boot camp partition, it repeatedly gives me the error "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is a MBR partition table. On EFI systems, Windows can only be installed on GPT disks. "I also received error messages about it needing to be in format NTFS, but I fixed this problem. I followed other tutorials and guides for the problems of which has involved the partition exFAT and reformatting of the flash player install to put in shape, but it gave me no result. The reason why I chose to burn a key USB and not a DVD is because my computers internal DVD drive seems to be broken. I hope that the hotfix that is required to install windows does not require me replace the internal SuperDrive. Help, please.

    Installation of boot EFI (non - MBR) on a Mac 2011 is problematic and many driver issues ensue. You can delete the MBR using GPT Fdisk, but boot EFI, which is allowed on the GPT disk, will cause more pain later.
