  • Pavilion G6 2338sl: hardware button to turn off the touchpad does not work on Windows 10

    Hello

    I have a Pavilion G6 mobile 2338sl. When I was on Windows 8.1 the touchpad worked a lot, so I've updated for Windows 10. Windows updated my drivrs to last, provided also by Synaptics (19.0.19.1). HP says the moment is upgrade from Windows to provide the driver for this laptop, as you can see on the driver support page. The touchpad works, the parameters can be set (gestures etc.), the touchpad turns off when another mouse is connected (it's ok).

    The problem is that if I use the touchpad and I want to turn off the button, it does not work and the computer reacts like a click. So I returned to the old driver and button works. But Windows Update continusly updated the driver (I disabled the option in the advanced settings, but it still update) and I come to every time.

    So I tried to reinstall Wndows freshly (not update Windows 8.1) and with the old driver works, but when she updates to 19.0.19.1, the button to turn off the work stoppage.

    I looked on the interent and someone tips to set minimum detection of palm. I tried but it still not working.

    I hope someone can help me

  • Cannot turn off the issue of jam and paper cartridge (both at the same time)

    I have a HP Officejet 8600, running on a wireless home network.  The printer will not work.  We get two messages. 1. Introduction to jam, and I'm going through all the steps to clear paper, including the search for pieces of paper, as well as any leaves.  I found no paper, whole or in part anywhere in the printer.  2. at this point, I get a message that I have a problem with a printer (of ink, installed correctly, etc.) cartridge.  Simply replace us all cartridges, so I know that we are not out of ink.  However, when I opened the door to the area of printer cartridge, the cartridge does not move where I can check it out.  There's just right.  So I'm "stuck".  I don't know how to get the cartridge door to roll over so I can check!  I turned off the computer several times and tried to reset things, but nothing seems to work.  Any suggestions?

    Followed - I turned off the printer.  Then opened the cartridge and reaches into the printer access door.  Without moving the cartridge door, I pressed each cartridge to make sure it was placed correctly.  Then, shut the door and back running the printer.  The printer seems to start correctly.  I then opened the door, the door-cartridge moved where I could access them normally.  I double checked that each cartridge is installed and closed the door.

    At this point, everything seems to work properly.

  • Cannot turn off the spigot in 23

    There is only one tab and a plus sign next to it in 23. I thought that we had the ability that turns off.

    Even if I'm here, I'll also to say for a while now it has been weird, open a new window flashes open for a while and then turns back to my original window. Sometimes he makes the multi window navigation difficult.

    Before ask you, no, I never use tabs. I hate tabs.

    Hello

    In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the firefox options define and protect users against unintentially damage their Firefox and prepare a scheduled browser overhaul, the option to hide the tab bar has been removed.

    Fortunately, this can easily be solved if you want the tabs to keep hidden. You can install "hide the tab with a tab bar", an extension hosted on the site of Mozilla Add - ons, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.

    Thank you and I hope this helps!

  • Cannot turn off the location Services on the new iPhone

    For some reason, there is no way to disable the location Services on new iPhone 6 s daughter. We have switched/updated sound from an old iPhone 5, but were sure disable settings find my phone/Find My Friends. In addition, iPhone 5 has been wiped clean. However, location Services are unable to be activated off the coast on the new iPhone... the toggle switch is "grayed out". Even in circles iCloud, even in the General settings.

    The idea was to find it on my friends for the new phone, but this is not possible, since it states that this service is managed by the iPhone 5... is no longer active. No matter what I try (reboot, reset location/privacy settings, turn off all network connections), I am unable to adapt localization Services (On / Off) and subsequently, the share location parameter.

    3 other phones that we have obtained (6s as well) do not present the issues and working properly, including the activation of location Services button.

    Hi, pairof9s.

    Please visit Apple support communities.

    I understand that you can't change the setting of location Services on iPhone again your daughter 6 s.  It looks like may have restored the old iPhone backup and restrictions are activate that prevent changes to certain characteristics.  You can check by going to settings > general > Restrictions and see if they are enabled.  You can then temporarily disable restrictions you can change this setting.  Take a look at the article below for more information.

    On Restrictions (parental control) on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch

    In regards not being not able to find my friends, you need to maybe just remove the iPhone 5 find it my iPhone via iCloud.com service.  Take a look at the article below for instructions on how to remove the device.
