Touch Screen Keyboard

[DannyDont]

I can no longer bring up the on screen keyboard ... nor can I find anywhere on my laptop that tells me what type of Pavilion this is. It is a 17 in touch screen with an Intel Core i5 processor. Perhaps the Model and Serial # are under the battery?????

In any case, I first lost the on screen keyboard icon on the Task Bar. I was able to restore the icon but when I click on it, nothing happens. I have also added the Touch Pad icon to the Task Bar. When I click it, it comes up on the screen just fine.

I have searched and searched the Internet for a good answer but as of yet have not found one. I searched this forum as well. I found several discussions on the topic but they did not seem to answer my question in a way that I understood what I needed to do.

I hope that someone can help me. This is a very useful function when you are far from the physical keyboard but have a cordless mouse that can be used with the on screen keyboard!

Thanks for any help you might provide,

I have the same problem. I had fixed once though but it came back. The way I fixed it was by opening the HP Support assistant toolbar on the taskbar. In the updates section, I found a driver that I clicked update on. Once the driver downloaded a pop up the size of a troubleshooter appeared asking me to, 'repair' or 'remove'. I clicked on repair and the pc restarted. Once it was done everything was working again. Alas, I got the same problem again, and I cannot find that driver, therefore I am searching for a solution.

Sorry but I am not looking for the on-screen keyboard that you can move around, I am looking for the big touch keyboard that is on the taskbar.
