they are reporting a file driver called
Go to C:\windows\system32\drivers. Find the file "idcphid.sys" and rename it
to anything, such as "idcphidMODIFIED .IdeaCom's update did this to you.

That was taken off a forum for vista but i cannot find the file in XP
........but my problems did start after i update with sp3.......but now after
a full install the touchpad isnt being recognized and upon restarting my
laptop the keyboard stays live (pressing fn shows an active light ) but as
soon as you touch anyother key ,the whole keyboard dies ...............pre
start up the keyboard works fine .

I am so annoyed i lost all my file to a fresh install when it is this human
interface thing in sp3

Hi Zelator,

It sounds like as was mentioned before that your device drivers are incorrect. This has been no to happen after certain MS updates.

I would follow the steps below to resolve the problem:

1) Go to the web site of the manufacturer of your laptop computer
2) Go to the downloads page for your SPECIFIC model laptop
3) Download the touchpad drivers for your laptop and install

One of the things that people fail to realize is that although more than 50% of the laptops made use a Synaptics touchpad, that DOES NOT mean that any Synaptics touchpad driver will do. You NEED to get the right one for your machine. When you go to the Synaptics web page, they will also tell you to go to your laptop manufacturers web site to get the appropriate driver.
