Having used laptops for too many years, I almost hate to make this post. I have a relatively new Toshiba laptop with Windows 8.1 (64-bit) installed, but I have always preferred to use a mouse when moving about the screen. Recently, for fun, I chanced to try using the built-in pad instead. The...

I just recently got an Asus Zenbook UX301LA, with Windows 8.1 and all the updates and have been having some problems with the trackpad. There is a setting in the windows 8 "Mouse and Touchpad Settings" menu which says "To help prevent the cursor from accidentally moving while you type, change...

I need this and so many other drivers on this junk of a laptop I bought. Well I like it, but have downloaded two driver update programs and neither is working. Help me if you can.

I have been using my Acer Aspire 5742G notebook for over 2 years now. Recently, I noticed a peculiar and very irritating issue. Rather two of them. First, the screen auto-scrolls abruptly and randomly (in no particular program, be it MS-Word / Excel or any browser). Also, when I type anything...
