Uninstall Synaptics Touchpad drivers through Control Panel > Programs and Features , reboot the computer and install updated one from here

Hi all! Someone tested this driver on Photoshop?? It doesn't work for "Hand tool" when you press "space bar" and try move on touchpad... 😞

But that functionality works perfect without that driver (15.2.4.4). I have HP Pavilion dv6 6078er(win 7 Home Basic 64)

Help please. Thanks!

My touchpad is also not working there is now a little Lamp burning on the left side of the touchpad. Is it not possible to activate the touchpad via hotkey. I got a Elite 8460p

I tried installing the driver that the HP employee suggested, and the driver failed to install.  I tried again and it failed again.  I have a HP Pavilion dv7 notebook and am running Vista.  Can you suggest another approach to getting my touch pad back on line?

Thanks!

My touchpad mouse is not working at all and an external mouse is also not working.  By keyboard, I can get to the Device Manager and both (touchpad and external mouse) have a small yellow symbol next to them. Because I have no use of a mouse I can't not uninstall/reinstall the driver.  I have tried the suggested hard restart  suggested in a different forum but it still isn't working. I am currently not in the country so I can't bring it to anyone to figure out the problem. Is there a way for me to be able to uninstall and reinstall the driver without using a mouse (a way to do it through the keyboard)?? Or is there another solution??
