Geekbench on win7 laptop mousepad locks up
Hello
i've now tried downloading Geekbench a couple of times from varius
vendors but every time i try opening the pogram my mousepad locks
up/freezes and i have to do a hard shutdown (closing the pogram
with alt-f4 does close the pogram but doesn't fix the mouse)
a have tried looking for an answere on the internet but no luck
my system is:
windows 7 64bit home premium
i7-3610qm
nvidia gtx670m (driving a 1600x900 screen)
laptop is a qosmio x870 from toshiba
Hope you can help me fix this problem

Christian,
Thank you for your message, and I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you.
Could you download CPU-Z and let me know if it also locks up your laptop's mousepad?
Thanks,
John

i've had cpu-z installed for ages, and this is the first i've seen of it freezing my mouse, but you are spot on, the program does the exact same thing.
I have also found that connecting a wired mouse to the laptop, lets me move the mouse, but doesnt unfreeze the mousepad.

Christian,
Geekbench uses the CPUID SDK (the same SDK that powers CPU-Z) to provide accurate system information. My guess is that part of the CPUID SDK is conflicting with the driver for your mousepad, causing it to lock up.
I'll follow up with the CPUID SDK folks, and I'll look into getting you a build of Geekbench that doesn't use the CPUID SDK so you can benchmark your system.
Best,
John
