Mousepad works incorrectly

Go to Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers.
Then, right click on the laptop and select mouse settings. Click on touchpad and go to Gestures. Finally, check that scrolling is activated.

Hi There,
You can download the synaptics package here, under "keyboard, mouse, and input devices" http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4062&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=3813491#N287

It is possible you might have picked up a virus, or a bad device driver. Try a system restore taking the computer back in time before this happened, may resolve the issue.

touch pad up down problem

my mouse pad on my compaq presario m2000 wont work

Since it is a Laptop you can not just go over to the Scroll Bar. Move the arrow from the mouse over to the scroll bar. Hold on the left key below the mousepad. The scroll bar should turn a differnt color. Move the scroll bar up and down with your finger,using the mousepad.

It's not working because it's either not enabled in your control panel any more, or the driver that allows the scrollbars to be used is not installed. This will happen if you've formatted your computer, or tried uninstalling software you didn't think you needed.

All you have to do is go to Compaq's website, enter the serial number of your computer in the search box, and you should find a Drivers and Downloads type section that will contain a list of all the drivers your computer needs, including the one for your mousepad.

Go to the control panel and set up your mouse. If this doesn't fix the problem, take the mouse apart and blow the dust out where the wheels with slots are. There is a small eye that detects movement in the wheels. If that doesn't fix it, the mouse needs replaced.

almost certainly this means that the drivers for the touchpad have reverted to the windows generic drivers. Try the driver from Compaq here. Sadly, without knowing the OS and exact model number of the laptop I can't be more specific on the link than that. The exact model of the laptop is usually printed on a sticker on the bottom.

I read somwhere that most motherboards have a third layer of conductors laminated in the middle of board.It could be possible that you are shorting out something there. Take the screws out and try it without the heatsink for a minute or so. Most big DUI stores sell plastic screws in their hardware areas. These will work no problem.
