It is a harware problem... I fixed it disassembling the laptop. I cannot put links here, but look for the thread: G73/74/53 Series Driver and Application Reference in forums of asusrog.com

Look for the post #753... Hope you find it useful.

would piss me off so much because i have tons of icons on my desktop and go to move my mouse and it would enlarge them and fuck em all up and they were so out of order

[gajomau]

@baconsizzle121 turn off the pinch to zoom function... at least it stop enlarge your icons :D

Update on the hardware fix... Still works %100 so finally its REALLY fixed for once. Also I am pretty sure you dont have to completely dissasemble it to get that piece of tape off. If you take off your hard drive cover, take out the left hardrive, (the one behind the trackpad) and carefully remove that piece of black plastic sheeting, you have access to the back of the trackpad to do the repari!

Ok I FINALLY realy figured out how to fix this issue. It is a hardware issue but it can be fixed for free by yourself. You have to take the trackpad off (kind of a pain) and there is a piece of metal fiber tape stuck in the worst possable spot. You have to take the piece of tape off and clean off all the adhesive left from the piece of tape with rubbing alcohol. Dont waster your time doing software fixes, I tried them all

My touchpad works just before "User Sign-in" which allows access to the computer. Only after sign-in, it would be matter of time (2-5 minutes)before the touchpad started to fail. Today 2/11/12 Saturday I received an email from ASUS my PC being shipped"(to me). Touchpad and fan was replaced. 2 weeks ago ASUS sent me an estimate to have replaced the HDD and Heat Sink,quite the wrong diagnosis. HDD was replaced 1 month ago(Geek Squad). I remind ASUS about my current Warranty >> ASUS rediagnoses hmm

Update... still working %100 !! My usb mouse is now collecting dust, by the way, its worth mentioning that one of the software fixes I did, im 90% sure that it was reflashing the bios with version 213 caused two finger gestures like two finger scroll and pinch zoom no longer work. I think thats why some people saw some sucess with it because the tape thats causing the problem is acting like another finger staying in that spot. Thats why disabling pinch zoom helps.

@gajomau yeah i did that a while ago lol. I would get so pissed becuz i have so many icons on my dekstop and than they would be offscreen and stuff it was so annoying
