A possible fix for the Alps problem Your Alps pointer problem is probably driver related. To fix it:
1. Open Windows Explorer
2. Right click on Computer & choose properties
3. Open Device Manager (Admin password may be required)
4. Under Mice & other pointing devices, right click Alps pointing-device & choose Update driver software
5. Choose Search automatically & it will download and install the latest signed driver from the windows repositories & hopefully that will fix that problem.

If you are running Winsows Vista try running windows update service. Either way go to the web site for you're mouse & download the latest driver for you're mouse. If you did not find a an updated driver, open control panel, open the mouse icon & try adjusting the scroll function for the mouse. Still not good?
Open control panel. Uninstall the mouse driver. (Restart the system). Now re-install the software for the mouse. (Restart the system). Working yet?
If non of these have helped, try another mouse with a scroll wheel.

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.

Jumping Cursor

If you experience a jumping cursor where it jumps from one line to another, go to this link and download the driver for ALPS pointing device. This is from Toshiba (thanks to them for having the most updated touchpad driver) but regardless of your computer, IT WORKS!!!

After downloading the driver
>Go to Control Panel
>Open Mouse icon
>Go to Advanced Tab
>Click on the Advance Configuration Button
>Mark the following options with a check:
>>disable tapping
>>disable pointer movement
>>disable scroll function
>Click Apply
>Try typing on a word pad

Alps pointer device driver

Dont give much pressure or harder press over the area and on the keyboard on your laptop. If any pressure on top area will makes your touch pad to start working all laptop has it option to off it . Also make your mouse sensitivity very low - if you set it in high a small movement or any kind or pressure over that can make it on.

Cant get Pointer to move

First try
Normal 0 Turn the mouse over and find the small rest/connect button on the bottom of the mouse and press it. This should connect the mouse to the receiver and work properly. If not, try pressing the receiver button and then press the button on the mouse. This should be done whenever you change batteries or glitch.
Then if that doesn't work try
Normal 0 Turn the mouse over and find the small rest/connect button on the bottom of the mouse and press it. This should connect the mouse to the receiver and work properly. If not, try pressing the receiver button and then press the button on the mouse. This should be done whenever you change batteries or glitch.
Hope this helps you. Bud

In windows xp go into start menu, then into control panel then click on appearance and themes, then move your mouse over to mouse pointers click on it , uncheck "enhance pointer precision, and click apply, that will stop the mouse from acting crazy, this will work with dell mouse pointers and most.

Cant get Pointer to move

It's WIRELESS. The receiver is powered by USB. The mouse needs batteries. AAA in most cases! If batteries test ok in a remote control...they should have enough for mouse.
