Aggr3 Posted October 3, 2007 CID Share Posted October 3, 2007 Welcome to the forum Rem......what does it take to unfreeze it....just time and it fixes it's self.....or do you have to reboot it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 3, 2007 CID Share Posted October 3, 2007 The internet on his PC would have nothing to do with that. Check Toshiba's website for new drives for the touch pad. If there are none, You need to try and get the generic windows drivers on it. Do you know if it also does that if you have a external mouse plugged in?

pancake Posted October 3, 2007 CID Share Posted October 3, 2007 dont u have any cd drivers with you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem Posted October 4, 2007 Author CID Share Posted October 4, 2007 thanks, the drivers for it are on the recovery disk which has been run, to unfreeze you have to shut the laptop down and restart and even then the touchpad may freeze on restart, I have had in checked by the toshiba pros and they say theres nothing wrong with it, so today I have disabled touch and launch and the infrared feature and Im hoping it will help it, theres so much going on with this its hard to get it all down.

mudmanc4 Posted October 4, 2007 CID Share Posted October 4, 2007 Just an idea, try un-installing the hardware , ie: touchpad, maybe try and plug a usb mouse in if your not savvy w/ shortcuts that you'll need w/o the mousepad, then do a system clean w/ a program like ccleaner.com , and or tweak now power pack, ( if you can get your hands on it, it's great, no substitutes!) anything you have that will get rid of broken , or fragged registry items. Once your system is clear of conflicts between all those times people tried to fix something by changing something, and left something behind in the mean time. Then go into device manager and see where the triangle w/ "!" inside is, or "?" , and install properly the mousepad. Let us know how your doin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
