Hi All,
First time poster here with a major pain concerning the Synaptics Touchpad on my new dv5121tx. (i've added the specs below if that helps).
This notebook was purchased as a desktop replacement, and so far i'm loving it's performance on all levels, except.....
The problem i'm experiencing is when manouvering the cursor via the touchpad, the notebook simply freezes, then shutsdown and restarts itself, closing down any documents or applications i had open. This would occur two to three times during use after first starting the notebook on any occasion, and then it would seem to operate "normally". I have not experienced the problem since i started solely using an external usb mouse.
Has anyone else had similar issues? is this a hardware problem or driver (there doesn't seem to be any updates on the HP website). Any suggestions or help would be soooo appreciated as it has proved to be incredibly frustrating.
thanks to all, Bones
