I often brush against the touchpad when typing on my toshiba portegeR600. I cannot find the setting to delay operation of the touchpad when typing. I did set this up some time ago but it has reset

Touchpads are really sensitive to the type of charger and cable that is required to charge them. I have had trouble charging mine in the past, but the best form of charger appears to be a touchstone.

It might me worthwhile getting a specific USB charger for the Touchpad that provides enough output. A normal phone charger does not have sufficient power.

Quote from another source:
If you have connected your HP Touchpad to the charger only to find that a charging symbol is perpetually displayed, you will probably need to reset the tablet.

This is done by holding the power and home buttons at the same time for around 15 seconds. During this time, the tablet should shut down, restart and then boot into the installed operating system - albeit with a very low charge.

To fix your touchpad, follow the information from this link.

The touchpad might have been disabled. try the Fn-F9 key combination. It toggles the touchpad ON or OFF.

I have an aspire one netbook and it has what are called hot keys. I can turn my touch pad on or off by pressing designated keys. If you have your manual check for this type of feature. hope i helped

try to boot to windows xp or dos command, for winXP go to recovery console-select your windows-type the admin password then if C:\WINDOWS come up type chkdsk /r if that doesnt help, repair your operating system or backup your files and reinstall your operating system.

in my opinon. you should be re instal this touch pad driver.

Hello ,

Follow these methods to Disable Touchpad ( Fn+F9 )

Toshiba usually set the keys Fn+F9 as the touchpad enable/disable - the touchpad software has to be running in the taskbar to allow this however.

hope this helps 8)

Hi Lynne

You may remove unnecessary startup items by using MSCONFIG utility. You may keep only Toshiba Touchpad utility and Essential security programs. Perform maintenance like using Disk clean up and disk error checking. Also using the performance settings definitely will create significant change. If you need further assistance you may post again I will reply asap.

Good Luck
