    Hey guys, so my touchpad isn't working at all. I have uninstalled/reinstalled/rolled back/updated drivers every which way and it's still dead. I followed the instructions on this page (I have windows 7) to no avail.

    Also, when I connect it to my TV via HDMI and have the TV as the only display ("projector only") my keyboard lags. By lag I mean if I type at normal speed many of my keystrokes are seemingly ignored. It does not do this on duplicate or extended display modes. I tried to fix this by increasing the keyboard buffer in the registry, but it didn't work so I switched it back to default.

    I recently downloaded the updated Command Center for windows 7 and there's no keyboard lighting option in the FX themes, why is that? Now my keyboard lights are either on or off at random upon logging in.



    Any help is greatly appreciated.
