Its unlikely to be a driver problem but you can check it by plugging in a usb mouse. Not knowing what operating system you are using makes it difficult to fix. You should find the driver in the hardware settings in system. delete them and reboot without the usb mouse plugged in. If it is the driver then the mousepad will be redetected and the driver reloaded. If it works, great, if it does not then a new mousepad will be required.

HP 2530p EliteBook - touchpad stopped working. Scrolling works except touch scrolling on right side of pad) and right button, but that's all. Wireless mouse works fine.

To access Mouse Properties, select Start - Control Panel - Hardware and Sound -Mouse.

Use Mouse Properties in Windows to customize settings for pointing devices, such as button configuration, click speed, and pointer options.

The right side of my touch pad control button has stopped working

Did you check the settings for the left and right buttons under the mouse properties. Normally the left should be set on Click and the right should be set on Shortcut. If it's set to NONE then it will be inoperable. Better yet you can click the Default tab for buttons. Otherwise, it sounds like your touch pad needs to be replaced. The immediate remedy to this is to just go purchase a USB mouse and voila, you'll have the ability to left and right click.

Tapping on gateway nv 53 trackpad not working

This just happened on my HP2730P. I always used the click on the touchpad, plus used the right click button at the bottom. Yesterday it just decided to stop working and went haywier...it started doing the selecting and dragging while I was moving the mouse around and my left click stopped working. Obviously my enable tap click was already on cuz I used it all the time.

My solution was disabling the buttons under the "buttons" tab. Then my mousepad tap started working again, I regained function in the scrollbar on the mousepad again, and if I need to right click I can use the point stick buttons right above the pad.

OR

Does it start working when you reboot? If so, try changing the "Touchpad Sensitivity" option :)

My mouse has stopped working

The mouse buttons may have been swapped from LH to RH or vice versa.
Go to Control panel - Mouse - Buttons tab - in Button configuration click the selection box (Switch primary and secondary buttons) with the right button on the mouse.
If you have used the wrong mouse button then select it again with the correct button.
Then click Apply and then OK.

I have an athletic works stopwatch. All it says on the front is chronograph. I bought it at Walmart. It has 3 buttons on the top and one on the bottom. I can't find the directions. I can't get it to...

I have the same Athletic Works stopwatch. I just figured out how to turn off the alarm: press either of the two mode buttons (middle top, or bottom right) until you see the regular time displayed (the seconds will be changing, but nothing else, and nothing will be flashing). Press and hold the reset button (top left); while holding down the reset button, press the start/stop button (top right). Watch the bell icon on the display in the upper right corner; with each press of the start/stop button you will see the bell either appear or disappear. When the bell disappears, release the reset button. The alarm is now off.

My touchpad right and left click button stopped working

is there a touch pad lock button, that locks the pad? if there isn't then there is most likely excess debris or dust or something under there that needs to be blown out with airisol can. If both of those solutions don't work then i would check to make sure the driver is installed for the touch pad. Good Luck. and i hope it works out.

Turn off beeps

Press the MODE button until you get to the AL (ALARM) screen. Press Start/Split (Stop/Reset) (upper right button) repeatedly to turn the alarm and chime are off.

Hope this helps.

Try going to Control Panel and click on the mouse icon. Then the mouse properties will appear showing the mouse. In the left column,move your cursor over the right side button click on the drop down and select magnify. Hopefully it will now work.

I had to move the magnify function to the left button because it was to sensitive on the right.
