The touchpad on my gericom laptop has stopped

Check the touchpad driver in device manager: control panel>hardware and sound>device manager. Look for; mice and other pointing devices and expand the menu. You should see the touchpad driver here (synaptics or elantech) right click on it and click properties and check that its working properly in the general tab. On the drivers tab, click update driver and search automatically for updated software. If the driver is not installed or has become corrupted, you can follow this link to download and install a new driver: http://support.acer.com/product/default.aspx?modelId=3278

You need to go to ASUS's website and find their downloads in the support section. You need to use the chipset, touchscreen, and acpi drivers. The XP drivers will work in win vista and windows 7. You will also want to get the elantech touchpad configuration utility from them. The chipset and acpi drivers will also make your function keys work.

1. Turn it off While Typing:
2. Press Fn key (left of spacebar) while holding the Fn Press F7 key
3. Fn + F7 turns off your Touch pad
4. Fn + F7 turns it back on

Thank You For Choosing FixYa~!

To enable the TouchPad; Open the Control Panel > Mouse > Elantech > Highlight "Elantech Smart-Pad" then click on Start Device".
Tick "Display Dynamic Icon" to make is easy to Enable/Disable in future from the Task Bar.

hope this helps!

Try downloading the drivers for the touchpad from HP website and check if it works? Is the LED light near to the touchpad on?

For some reason most latitudes have this problem, I don't know why but its some problem with both the software and hardware setup.

Hi!
To solve the problem you have to go to cintrol panal and ther is an option for touchpad and you can change the setting from there as per your preferance.

The elantech settings have a box you can check to disable the pad while typing. Uncheck the box if it is checked.

Hi there,
I had this issue and resolved it by doing the following:
-Open the start menu by using the windows button
-Use the arrow keys to highlight run and press enter
-Type 'control panel' and press enter, find the mouse properties and enter
-From the buttons tab in mouse properties, go to double click speed and change to slow and confirm the changes
-At this point it probably still wont work, so do the above again but change the double click settings to fast and confirm.
-Restart your PC and this should resolve the matter. you can alter the double click speed again if you wish :)

Hope this helps,
