say meow 1,214 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I know this probably isn't the right place to ask about this, but I'm pretty desperate by now as I tried everything I knew if the mods think I shouldn't be asking this here feel free to lock the thread so my touchpad used to work well but when I turned my laptop on today it didn't work anymore recovery system told me a driver was missing and I clicked to install it I reboot my computer but it still didn't work, I tried unistalling and installing the newest version of the drivers from the manufacturer's site, but it still doesn't work when I go to 'Mouse' configs it only shows the usb driver, and there's no touchpad driver apparently there's a problem with Synaptics, idk can someone pls help me? ;--; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadface 5,486 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 nope, apparently it's Fn+F5, I didn't press it... it just doesn't work at all uhm try to go to Device Manager on your computer, look for "xxx Pointing device" or so. click on it, you may see if anything could be wrong with the driver. you can try update/reinstall the driver there as well, and if that don't work I think you will need to get it fixed :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Finger 871 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 btw do you think it's worthy updating it to Windows 8? Samsung is providing free upgrade Windows 8 is okay, though it's hard to navigate at first. But if it's for free then yeah, go ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennifer 883 Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 yeah I hate using mouses tho thanks for your help btw do you think it's worthy updating it to Windows 8? Samsung is providing free upgrade lmao, no. It's going to be slower if you update it with W8 if the computer is older than the program. Pretty much it's like updating an iPhone 4 with IOS 7. The phone is relatively new but it can't handle such a program without being slow, you know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
