    Hello again,

    Yesterday, my latops touchpad all of the sudden began not working properly. The side & bottom where I put my finger to scroll up, down, left & right, won't do it anymore. The touchpad works every other way. I checked the properties, and it says that it is working, but it's not. Does anyone know what the problem could be? It is a Qosmio X505-Q885. Thanks.

    Have you tried to upgrade/update/reinstall your touchpad driver?

    Try a reboot. I have had the same thing happen several times to different brands of laptops. Seems a reboot cures it for me.

    Reboot everytime touchpad goes in it's own world is not a good enough solution... But can be used as temporary solution while we try to figure this out :)

    Have you called Toshiba's Technical support line? Sounds like it could be a driver issue, and I am going to bet it isn't a hardware problem.

    I had similar problem with my dell, and I found out that somehow I had reverted to standard Windows Driver instead of the vendor driver(synaptics).
    This may be the case with you too.
    So do try a driver re-install.
