    Left click function not working
    « on: March 11, 2014, 07:56:23 AM »
    my left click doesn't work. even when i touch my touch pad twice to double click it won't either
    and then i went to control panel and switched the left function with the right function.
    the left clicked worked and did the
    functions of the right click but the right click didn't do anything


    But then after i restart it it works again!

    This always happens. About 1 hour into using my ACER Aspire E1-522 laptop the left click and the double tap of the touch pad stops working. ARG!

        Did you try re-installing the touchpad drivers from the Acer site for that Model ? ?

          Hi, I was having the same problem with my new Acer E1-522, the mouse cursor moves around and the right-click works fine, but the left click (or just tapping / double tapping the touchpad) goes off after I've used the laptop for more than 10 minutes.

          I have today rolled back the drivers and (fingers crossed) that seems to have fixed it, time will tell...

          HTH  :)
