I just have to find a non-dial up internet connection. I fairly certain that I created this problem and have resigned myself to doing a clean install with the newest drivers. Yes, the touchpad should still function as a basic mouse without the touchpad software which would just give you those extra scrolling and zoom functions that you mentioned, so if you don't care about them, you may just want to remove the touchpad software/driver and reinstall your mouse software afterwards as well to see if it makes any difference. The drivers you're talking about would be what controls the scrolling and zoom functions that you can manipulate directly on the pad, correct? I haven't checked for new drivers, I'll do that. I was just wondering if your mouse had this kind of setup that you can use, but apparently it doesn't. If you're interested though, I have a USB GamePad for my desktop computer that lets me program some of the buttons and save those settings or profiles for different games, so I just load one of those profiles before playing the game (I don't think my USB GamePad let me load a profile at boot, but thought your mouse software might let you do this) instead of having to reprogram the USB GamePad buttons everytime I want to play a game. Sorry to be unclear about this, but your mouse software probably just doesn't have this feature if you aren't familiar with this. Loading mouse settings at boot is above my current knowledge of computers. You can find System Restore in Windows 7 under Accessories/System Tools and hopefully you can find a recent restore point when everything was working. If you're planning to wipe your drive and try a clean install, it's probably worth trying the System Restore first to see if it can save you the trouble.
I don't consider myself a software expert, so hopefully others have better ideas to fix this.Īnyway, in case you didn't already know just wanted to mention Windows has a 'System Restore' feature to set your system back to an earlier date if you have a restore point available. If it was working before, that's a good sign at least, but the question may be if we can find an easier way to solve it.
Right now I only use the shutdown option when the computer prompts me to restart, for everything else I use the sleep option. I made the recovery disks first thing before I messed with anything, so I'm good to go on that. I have a hunch that I loaded the mouse drivers more than once. It was working fine up until I started removing the bloat ware and mucking about with the cd that has the drivers.
