Window not finding touch pad

I have a new acer aspire V7 nitro.  It is came with (ugh) windows 8.1 which would not be the programs that I need for work.  I loaded windows 7.  The problem I have is windows think the touchpad is generic and charge the mouse HID-complaint.  I down loaded the driver from acer that says it's for windows 7 and 8 but when I load the driver it says that there is no material so that the driver is not required.  The touch pad works but not well.  Any ideas as to why windows did not recognize this single piece of hardware?

Take a look at my video of 1 minute Troubleshooting App compatibility in Windows 8.1

You're just a right click away at the point 8.1 of Windows using your favorite programs.

  • Stream laptop HP 11: after the update of windows 8.1 Windows 10, the touch pad does not work

    My Hp Notebook PC 11 Stream works fine on Windows 8, 1 until I updated to windows 10. Now the touchpad is dead. I have to use a USB mouse.  In Device Manager, all the drivers work fine. Any clue?

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome.

    Information below can help you

    Make sure your keyboard is on

    Check in the settings 'Mouse & touchpad' to ensure that the touchpad is enabled.

    Open the Settings menu (Start > settings) and go to devices > Mouse & touchpad. Scroll to the bottom of the screen, and then click additional mouse options.

    The mouse properties window opens. Click on the tab more far to the right (it may be called MOMENTUM ordevice settings). Under devices make sure your keyboard is not disabled. If it is disabled, click on the touch pad to select, and then click Activate.

    Another thing to try is to see if your laptop has a function button that enables / disables the touchpad. It should look like a tiny touchpad with a diagonal line through it (on my computer laptop is F6, on other laptops we Fn + F5, Fn + F6 , or something else entirely). Try to switch this key if you have before you panic on the misfortunes of possible touchpad.

    Update your drivers

    Windows 10 has been out for a few months now, and most of the manufacturers of touchpad have updated their drivers accordingly. But you may need to manually update your driver.

    There are two ways to do this. First, click on the Start button and select Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, open the Device Manager.

    By clicking on "update driver software... "will your computer Internet search for an updated driver.

  • Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820 t - Windows Update - Synaptics Touch Pad conflict

    Hello

    I just bought an Acer Aspire TimelineX, 3820 T. It's like a Synaptics Touchpad, which works fine until I do a Windows Update. Once I do the update of Windows, the touch pad doesn't work. Even if it works, there is no control over the touchpad. It is an old laptop of the week and I won't send it to Service Center for repair. Also, I'm afraid to get Exchange of the same model, since it is a software problem with Windows update and could be the same thing with another of the same model. I disabled the Windows Update and there is no problem since then. But with the new laptop, I cannot deal with Windows update and will be updated soon.

    Help, please!

    Welcome & thank you for your comments but I said nothing about disabling the automatic update from Windows Update.

    Windows Update problem (new)

    The following procedure applies in the case of installation (reinstall) Windows 7.  It does not apply to a usual, normal day.

    I'm afraid that you will do the reinstall again.  Not a terrible penalty to pay.  Usually takes less than an hour.  Then immediately proceed to the next procedure.   It's strange, but it really does work and many people have proved it.

    NEVER install anything other than Windows updates until your system is up-to-date.  Once you have the list update, install all together.  Installation of updates in batches is not expedite the process or do better.

    1. Before you begin to re - install, download (32 or 64 bit) KB3083710 and KB3102810 in advance and store on a USB
    2. Start and end the re - install Windows 7 SP1
    3. Before that the newly installed system can go online for the first time, Disconnect the computer from the Internet.  This chronology is essential.
    4. Install KB3083710 and reboot manually.
    5. Install KB3102810 and reboot manually.
    6. Restore the Internet connection, and run Windows Update as usual.
    7. After a few minutes, you should have a lot of updates to download and install.

  • touchpad doesn't work on my laptop. I can't find that everything about the touch pad in Control Panel. can you help me please?

    touchpad doesn't work on my laptop.   I can't find that everything about the touch pad in Control Panel.  can you help me please?

    Hello

    It's material is not a Windows problems.

    / Settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start then look at the screen - make sure that is it
    is a toggle the TouchPad that it is enabled.

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad
    entries) and some have a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary and the TouchPad makes its appearance in Device Manager: (make sure that you have restarted at least
    only once if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    ==========================================

    This utility also allows to control the TouchPad:

    TouchFreeze

  • HP 15 ab019na: clicking on the touch pad does not work

    My laptop newly purchased has just been upgraded to Windows 10. My problem is with the touch-pad. Clicking on most of the things with it (left or right) turn simply on the element, but it does not open the item. For example, the cross that appears in the top right, to a screen, to cancel this screen does not when you click on it. I have to touch it with my finger so he could work (the laptop's touch). A lot of hypertext links do not open when you click on it, but their contact works. The Start button at the bottom left does not open when you click on it, but it's when they are affected.

    Clicking is sometimes more convenient than touch, so I would if the issue is resolved.

  • Touch pad to turn off Windows 7 when the mouse remotely installed as I could in Windows XP

    In Windows XP, I could go to control pannel, mouse and click to Disable Touchpad when another mouse was attached.  It would be automatically on the touch pad if no mouse was attached USB.  I couldn't locate any method or the answer that allowed a change of software touchpad in Windows 7.

    I had an old Dell D820, installed Win7 and couldn't find a way to disable the touchpad and keys/stick.  Based on other suggestions, I went to the Dell website and downloaded the drivers Vista (Win7 drivers not available).  As soon as he installed and rebooted, I had an icon in the Sys Tray (by the clock) that I could then select a setting to turn off when the external mouse connected.  So for those who said it is a pilot thing, I agree with them.

  • Portege R930 - Touch Pad on / off button does not work

    Hello

    R930 nine (PT330A) and a minor but annoying thing... the small button above the touch pad and below the space bar for the Touch Pad on / off does not work. I can't find the configuration options for this anywhere. Fn + F9 works very well.

    Not much, but I like things to work! And this button would be very convenient for a quick switch.

    Thank you

    Can you use the Toshiba? I think you should have the button eco and presentation on this machine.

    Check please if you can enable/disable these keys in the HWsetup tool.
    I don t have Win8 machine, but I think that all these buttons can be enabled/disabled.

    Please, check and send comments.

  • Portege R700 - Touch Pad, ecoUtility and presentation of the key does not

    Hello

    I got a Portege R700 with Windows 7 64 bit.
    This machine starts very slowly after the log in user mode only.
    The system is waiting for 1 to 2 Minutes before you can work. In administrator mode erverything is fine and fast.

    Thus our directors thought it might be the Toshiba Software and a lot has been disabled or uninstalled.
    Because this did not help and because I thought that it migt be cause of Kaspersky, I started to reinstalled and update the software from Toshiba. Most of it works now. Shortcut keys does not work, then I start TfcRst.exe via autostart now, even he would somehow it would be better in 'systemecommencent '.

    But still some keys do not work. The Tablet touch power switch, just above the touch pad does not work.
    The Fn F9 works. And the two keys to the right upper corner (ecoUtility/off button and the presentation-Key) do not work. In all three major, I get a pop up saying "this function not taken in charge.

    Anyone has any idea of this?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Why you n t try to restore the operating system back to the same state until the administrator has removed or uninstalled the Toshiba Software?

    Generally speaking the VAP (value added package) controls the multimedia keys.
    Also the FN keys require the VAP and Flash memory card Support utility.

  • Satellite A660 - touch pad / stop and other buttons do not work

    Dear people on this forum,

    Recently, about 3 weeks ago, I turned on my computer and I cleaned out the dust because it was overheating.

    about 2 weeks before, I noticed that my touchpad is not working and the buttons at the top of the page do not work, there is no light (multimedia audio buttons wireless) I can't activate/deactivate or either, I don't know how. I don't know if the problem because I cleaned my laptop and has not logged a few threads back but I included this detail because I do not use these buttons if I haven't noticed if they were on. but he said: 2 days ago, I don't know how my wireless exploded Ant when I press fn + f8 (wireless) wireless communication switch is turned off, which is one of the buttons is not working (upstairs next to / switch even with my touch pad)

    I tried the following:

    Windows Update
    turn off the computer, remove all cables and battery and wait for about 30 minutes. Then then hold down the button for 30 seconds
    Reinstall the support flash cards, hw Setup utility / value pack
    and finally a Toshiba out of the recovery of the box using the recovery of 2 cd product

    I don't know what to do next. It's either:

    try something else
    or is there a wire is connected both touchpad and the buttons at the top and I have to open my laptop and connect them.

    Please answer as to my next step to get my wireless.

    Please don t get me wrong, but I don t know how to help you now. Disassembly of the laptop is to only authorized persons and if you do it on your own there is always a risk that something may be hurt or may be damaged.

    OK, I must also say that I also removed my machine too but I got lucky and everything is OK as before.
    I put t know how A660 looks inside, but the principle is still the same and I can't imagine you have whatever it is damaged.
    You know very well that we cannot say much about your problem. What you need to do now is the final test of functionality and install original recovery image that you got with your laptop. Test the functionality with the factory settings. If the problem is still there, I m afraid you must open for new laptop and check if everything is connected correctly.

    Last option is to contact the service and ask for help.

  • Tecra A9 - sometimes I can not type - click using the touch pad

    There are times that I can not type - click using the touch pad or other keys (all of a sudden without any reason)

    I can move the cursor in this case but not tap - click here to be able to click once again, I have to restart (this happens on both windows and linux)

    On windows, I press alt + ctrl + del and when the Task Manager window I can tap it and after I do I can tap - Select something else and so on.
    Click on the Task Manager click on anything else until I reboot and the problem goes away just to appear suddenly unexpectadly at the same time.

    I have the newest bios and driver accupoint

    Any tips?

    This happens only with touchpad, or when you use an external USB mouse?
    For me it looks more like the Windows operating system freezes for a short period. Is this good?
