TOUCH-PAD NOT WORKING

I tweaked the registry for optimal performance, then my laptop touch-pad
stopped working, I restored the system and still doesn't work, I tried
uninstalling and reinstalling driver, to no effect. I found on my system the
following error report:

-- Description
This program might not have installed correctly

Problem signature
Problem Event Name: PCA2
Problem Signature 01: Uninstap.exe
Problem Signature 02: 7.0.1.103
Problem Signature 03: Uninstall Utility
Problem Signature 04: Uninstall Utility
Problem Signature 05: Alps Electric Co., Ltd.
Problem Signature 06: 1
Problem Signature 07: 201
OS Version: 6.0.6000.2.0.0.768.3
Locale ID: 3081
ANY HELP WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED!!!

So much for using a reg cleaner to optimize your system. Look on the bright
side. You managed to dump any overhead brought about by having a working
touch pad.

When you say that you restored, do you mean a complete system refresh or
just using Windows restore to go back in time, but probably not far enough?

Did the restore actually work?

Re: TOUCH-PAD NOT WORKING

Try booting into Safe Mode
Then use Device Manager to DELETE ALL instances of the pad.

Reboot and see if it finds the driver. If not re-install.

Re: TOUCH-PAD NOT WORKING

I went back far enough but system restore couldn't complete, I think it was
confused by the error.
