I've upgraded to Windows 10.



When I unplug power from my laptop, touchpad stops working - it gets disabled in the control panel.



I can either plug the power back in to make it work, or plug a mouse and enable it back in the control panel.



What could be causing it ?

I'm haven't upgraded to Win10 yet, but I'm guessing that the PC is shutting it off to save power. If you open the device manager, right click the touchpad and select 'properties'. Then click the "Power Management" tab - if there's a check in the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power", uncheck it.

It was just a simple matter of clicking "Update Drivers".

            How to calibrate 16:9 built-in touch-screen to a 4:3 resolution?

            Image
            up vote 0 down vote favorite I need help with an issue we're facing in a project where we are moving from a Windows-based POS environment to one running on CentOS7. The problem consists of a number of factors, please find the details below: The supplier of our POS application will only deliver an application that is hard-coded to run in a 1024:768 4:3 format. The hardware we are using is a POS unit from HP that has a built-in 16:9 touch-screen. The employees using this solution is not supposed to see nor have access to anything but the POS application.

            QoS: MAC-Priority for clients behind a repeater

            Image
            1 1 I've setup a wireless network using a Linksys-Router (DD-WRT) as an AP and a TP-Link repeater for range extension. To manage bandwith for specific users, I've setup QoS-Rules on the AP (DD-WRT) using MAC-Priority: However the AP shows only the Repeater's MAC and the MACs of users inside the AP-Range. The MAC addresses of users behind the Repeater are not listed : The purple MAC is not listed in the AP-Clientlist. Its related to a device connected via the TP-Link repeater. Q: How can I setup MAC-Priority for repeater-clients? Do I simply add the purple MAC in AP-MAC priority list although it's not listed as a client? I want to setup specific priority instead of giving one priority for all clients behind the repeater by adding the repeater's MAC in the MAC priority list in the AP as ...
