• Auto disable Synaptics Touchpad when USB mouse is connected

  Hello

  Someone at - it an idea how to move again the function "Auto Disable Synaptics Touchpad when USB mouse is connected.  I found an old entry in a forum that referenced changing a setting in the registry hex 33, and implied that this would make the OPTION become visible in the mouse settings in the control panel.  But it just seems to disable the touchpad while. So I guess that Synaptics have changed things since this 'solution' was published in 2009, I think. .

  I have W7 XPS and version 15.3.22.0 for Synaptics Touchpad driver.

  See you soon

  SOLVED SOLVED SOLVED!

  All - I read through it and many forums and have found no solution. I thought of it on my own, so I'm happy to share with you!

  This solution applies to those who do not have a touchpad disable button F button at the top of your keyboard and have the Synaptics driver which does not show the option to disable the touchpad when the external device is present. This also applies to those where the registry key update does not work (because it didn't for me).

  Here is the solution.

  1. go to the Dell site and get the latest driver for your touchpad. Install it.

  2. Once installed, go into c:\program files\synaptics\syntp in your windows Explorer.

  3. open the program called DellTpad.exe (there is also a DellTouchpad.exe called - do not use this one)

  

  4. Once opened, click on device settings.

  

  5 and here the old box is down! Just click to make it active and it works like a charm.

• Satellite A100-033: disable touchpad when the USB mouse is conencted

  I have a Toshiba Satellite running Vista Home Basic.
  Recently, I had a catastrophic failure of the Windows and had to install it from scratch.

  Before the failure, I had found a few (well hidden) setting that invalidates the touchpad automatically whenever an external USB mouse was connected.
  To the left it works whenever the mouse is disconnected.

  Can someone help me? (He had nothing to do with the Synaptics driver, which does not allow this.)

  In the mouse settings, I choose the device settings tab, and then I can check the option called disable pointing device internal when the eternal USB pointing device is attached.

• DV7-4014eo is not displayed when the mouse is connected

  Hello.

  I have a strange problem. DV7-4014eo is not even the post when the mouse is connected (logitech m305). The screen lights up and there is underscore in the top left corner. If the mouse is connected just after the post, everything is fine and it starts.

  Is there a solution

  There has been progress. We tested a different (wired) mouse - that works. I had the chance to delve into the bios. I disabled legacy USB. Now, he can start with the orginal also mouse (logitech m305). Strange.

• Touch pad to turn off Windows 7 when the mouse remotely installed as I could in Windows XP

  In Windows XP, I could go to control pannel, mouse and click to Disable Touchpad when another mouse was attached.  It would be automatically on the touch pad if no mouse was attached USB.  I couldn't locate any method or the answer that allowed a change of software touchpad in Windows 7.

  I had an old Dell D820, installed Win7 and couldn't find a way to disable the touchpad and keys/stick.  Based on other suggestions, I went to the Dell website and downloaded the drivers Vista (Win7 drivers not available).  As soon as he installed and rebooted, I had an icon in the Sys Tray (by the clock) that I could then select a setting to turn off when the external mouse connected.  So for those who said it is a pilot thing, I agree with them.

• Disable Touchpad

  I need to turn my touchpad when I connected mouse

  Hi Bill,

  It really varies, but in general, this is how it would probably work:

  Go to control panel / mouse and that there should be a setting there somewhere to disable the touchpad when a mouse is connected.  It is perhaps not in a tab where you expect to find it - in order to check all the.  It can also read differently, so carefully look at all the options.  If this can be done, it probably is (and it can almost always be done somehow - possibly).

  If you can't find something like this, go to the web site of the manufacturer of your computer and update the drivers for your mouse or touchpad.  Then restart and check if the optiion now appears.  I had to do it myself when I added a USB mouse to my system, because the original touchpad drivers do not include the option but the update worked like a charm.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  I am running Windows 7 and usually use an external mouse.  How can I disable the touchpad when that mouse is connected?  I was able to do in Vista, but have not been able to find a way to do this under Windows 7.

  It varies by the manufacturer of the laptop but on my Dell Studio with windows 7 if I go to control - material & audio Panel then select mouse under devices & printers, the last tab in the mouse properties window gives me the ability to control the touchpad which turn it off.
