What is the problem with the touchpad on HP 17" ENVY laptop?

I haven't had any problems with my touchpad. And I've had my ENVY laptop for about a year or so.

It is like touchpad on laptop. Not like cellphone screen. Can not work as you asked.

I'm having this problem as well and so does many other people on the web. The touchpad and keyboard behaves erratically. touchpad is pretty much useless so I have to resort to using external USB mouse. This laptop needs to be recalled. Can someone sue Asus to recall this laptop? Last Asus laptop I'm going to buy because of poor service.

The only suggestion I have is for you to turn off the 'Tapping' function on your mouse pad as you might be accidentally tapping on it as you use your space bar. I haven't had any problems with the two laptops we purchased from Asus, but I did turn off that function on both of them. Hope this helps.

Sorry, don't know the answer to your questions, but I will tell you that the Windows 8 OS, without touchscreen capability, makes for a very problematic typing experience...I have to hit Fn and F7 to turn off the touchpad or all hell breaks lose when you try to type.

There is no touchscreen. Also, HP's website is generic and ambiguous about some other features of the Envy models.There is no VGA output for a second monitor (like I was hoping), but there is an HDMI output.Also, I agree with the earlier comments; this model is *very* fast, and the vendor (Eluktronics) was good, too. They shipped my order within 3 hours of submitting it to Amazon. I don't know if they can always do that, buy I was very happily surprised!

If you are referring to the touchpad itself you can try to press the F6 key, that toggles the touchpad on and off. If it is something other than that, We would suggest that you visit our Acer Community website (community.acer.com) for support questions like this. You can join discussions with product specialists and members just like you who are ready to guide you through the process of finding solutions to your issues.

My touchpad worked coming out the box. So maybe this one is defective. It has been a great machine. Maybe you just got a bad one.

There is a mouse lock icon that I occasionally hit. It is on the touch pad. At first I thought It was broken, but it was just that.

I'm sorry I can't be of much help. I don't have this issue with my 725-0687.One way is to use a mouse, as this will avoid having to use the touchpad.Not a proper solution though, so I'd be inclined to complain to Amazon and ask for a return ticket for either a repair or a replacement.

FWIW, at a Best Buy in another city, their ASUS notebooks had two finger scrolling working properly and the icons showing in the tray area. Must be something in the setup wrong at the store near me. I finally opted for the Gateway EC5801u which is also a thin, light, longlife model like these ASUS machines. It uses a Synaptic touchpad with a spiral scrolling gesture that I've quickly come to like. Swirl your finger round and round in a circle and it scrolls like controlling an ipod.

I didn't have a problem with the touch pad. However, I did purchase a mouse to use with it because of the work I do on the laptop.

.. and it's shipping now!BTW, the touchpad is a Synaptics and you can go up on their website, download the generic XP driver and end up with a touchpad which has both a scrolling feature and a tap-to-click feature.Got mine earlier from a different vendor and enhoying it quite a bit.

I use a mouse instead of the touch pad but I don't know how to disable to touchpad.

Weird, I have been diggin the touchpad actually. Seems very intuitive to me and I have not yet used a mouse.I think your question is ultimately rhetorical though - if you only use a mouse the performance of the touchpad is irrelevant.

I haven't had that exact issue but I did have problems with the mouse/track pad not working right all of the sudden and I called ASUS tech support and they had me re-install the drivers for it which fixed the problem immediately. Maybe you just need to re-install some keyboard drivers, call ASUS they will walk you through it step by step or find another solution. Good luck! 888-678-3688 or customer service 877-339-2787
