My HP laptop's touchpad not working properly
-
Tuesday, April 10, 2012 1:59 AMI have Windows 7. My touchpad stops working for no reason. Everything else continues to function. Only the pointer freezes and no amount of touching on the touchpad will get it to move. This is a laptop. Can you help me figure out what is wrong?

Hi,
You may reinstall the touchpad driver and update the motherboard driver.
If the issue persists, you’d better contact HP support for further assistance.

Wednesday, April 11, 2012 3:39 AMThank you for replying! Do I go to programs on my computer and find touchpad driver and uninstall? Where would I find another one to reinstall? Off the internet? Thank you.

Friday, April 20, 2012 6:25 AMI have tried all of the above and it still doesn't work. It only seems to stop working on IE9. So I just shut it completely down and now work from Google Chrome and Foxfire. If it starts doing the same thing on those sites I have no idea what I'm going to do.

Hi,
If the issue occurs only on Internet Explorer 9, you may open Internet Explorer 9 with no add-ons mode for testing. If it persists, clean boot or safe mode to troubleshoot.
