Disable Synaptics Touchpad tap to click through registry?

I have a laptop HP-G60-553NR 3 year and enjoyed with a Synaptics Touchpad (OS is Windows 7 64-bit).  I use the latest & greatest, driver recommended by HP:

2009-08-28, version: 13.2.2.0 has

This driver no longer works well at all (erratic click functions, unstable, moves through the screen on its own, etc.), but there were no other updates from HP and uninstalls / reinstalls multiple set.  After a ton of frustration, my only solution is to download & install the latest Synaptics driver:

2013-02-25, version: 16.3.15.1 (Windows 8/7/XP/Vista 32/64-bit Edition)

In principle, it worked well and the stability is back, but with a problem; I lost any opportunity to change the Touchpad settings - and with this driver, Tap-to-Click is ENABLED by default and I want to turn it OFF.  I lost the "Device settings" tab in the control panel there are long (not), but there was also a mini-outil of support which could be installed/activated in the system tray where I could switch tap to click power.  This option is no longer possible because if I install it, it reverts back to 13.2.2.0 driver.

My dilemma: 1) I can't go back to the old driver because it's a disaster.  (2) I need to stay with the new driver, but I hope to find a way to disable tap-to-click.

I see only three solutions: 1) maybe the gurus of HP or some of you who monitor these forums are aware of a more recent version, stable driver that works with my particular model or 2) someone can instruct me the keys in the registry, turn the tap to click on/off so I can turn it off myself (, or 3) use external mouse all the time (which is hard to do when the mobile).

Synaptics doesn't give any support and simply tells the user to 'contact your manufacturer', so here I am.  Any guidance would be appreciated.  In addition to this problem, my laptop is rock solid.

Thank you!

SOLVED!

I continued to try to solve this problem after the validation and finally found at the level of the program folder Files\Synaptics\SynTP.  I noticed there are several requests here, so I started to run them one by one.

SynTPEnh.exe is the latest version of the mini tool, "Synaptics Touchpad Enhancements" that I had used.  It offers the possibility to load only once, or allow to load at startup in the system tray.  Left click + functions simply open the Control Panel, but right click + displays the appropriate menu where I can uncheck the tap to click.

I hope this information is useful to others, because there are like mine all the ' web on several different platforms.

  • 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.

    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.

  • G530 - how to disable TouchPad ' Tap to, click on "feature on Windows 7?

    I've updated an old G530 (4446 23U) with Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit last night and all more or less works (noise, wireless, webcam, etc.) but the only thing I'd really like to do is turn off the "tap to click" feature on the touchpad.

    I downloaded the 64-bit drivers for Windows 7 for the TouchPad from lenovo.com, and it did not change some of the features that appear in the mouse settings in the Control Panel, tap-to-click deactivation is not one of the options.

    Any suggestions? Thank you!

    Thank you - hope I don't have to reinstall the operating system since it was a Windows 7 fresh, generic installation already. I'll do the update of the BIOS today and after back so if someone falls on this in the future, they will know the result.

    Appreciate the help!

  • Problem with the touchpad: Tap to click does not work if I use a standard account

    Hi all

    I have a problem with my laptop that I don't understand and I need help from the community.
    As the title says... If I connect to my laptop using a standard account the touchpad does not work if I try to tap to click. Left and right buttons work, move the slider works, works of scrolling, but endearing tape... not even a single tap. If I log in with my account as an administrator, the touchpad works like a charm, no problems. Tap to click and everything you want. If I disconnect the admin account and sign in as a standard user, the problems are back again. I can move the cursor, click on the two buttons (left, right), but I can't type to click...

    I tried to reinstall the driver for the touchpad (which is MOMENTUM...) but it did not. I tried to see if there is any option that can prevent this tapping or something... but in the control panel > Touchpad > Tap is turned on. A strange thing in the control panel of the Touchpad is that [when loggend as a standard user] I get an error "unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click on continue the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click on exit the application will close immediately. "and a new line saying"index was outside the bounds of the array. If I click on continue the error disappears, but reappears if stationary "double-tap" enable/disable option. If I click on leave the Touchpad Control Panel closes...

    All this trouble occurs only when I use the standard account. With the administrator account, I don't get any errors so I soar options, disable them, activate them and most importantly, the tap to click works.

    What is the problem with the standard account?

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1.

    Can someone help me please?

  • Pavilion dv6-3126er: disable Synaptics TouchPad Popup Images

    Is it possible to get rid of these images that appear when I deactivate/activate my touchpad?

    Their appearance is also accompanied by usb insert/remove sound although I disabled all the system sounds on my computer.
    The installed TouchPad driver is most appropriate Driver Downloads page.
    I could not find such an option in settings available.

    I unchecked Synaptics Pointing Device Driver in the list of Startup items in the systemSetup. Helping to get rid of images and sounds, and the TouchPad still works and can be disabled and enabled, but the driver settings became unavailable. This obviously isn't a very good solution and I don't know if it's acceptable on this forum , but the result is exactly what I need, and you can always get things to how they were allowing the driver to load at startup.

    Hello

    You see Synaptics tab? In the affirmative, please use this tab to disable the touchpad, if no, you must use the tab settings of the HP control area (for the newer machines). And in both cases, check the box "turn off internal...." 'and 'Apply'.

    Kind regards.

    How can I find my model number or product number?

    I understand that you had a problem with the touchpad for months because it is not responding. Although the driver is listed in programs and features in the Device Manager is not listed.

    Have you checked for virus and malware?

    Have you done all Windows updates?

    Have you tried to run the troubleshooter in Windows?

    Did you run HP Support Assistant to facilitate updates of HP?

    First you would try this step.  Some models, you can enable or disable the touchpad by double clicking on the top left corner of the touch pad.  Please see if it is applicable for you.

    Then in Device Manager, view hidden devices and search the hardware changes see if the touchpad now will be seen.

    Here is a link to the HP laptops - use and troubleshooting of the TouchPad and ClickPad (Windows 8) that should help you too.

  • How can I disable tapping on Satellite A210-103 with a Synaptics touchpad

    Hello

    How can I disable tapping an A210-103 with a Synaptics touchpad.
    Tapping means to me, that when I touch the touchpad of the notebook translate under circumstances like a mouse click, on which I don't want.

    In the settings of the Germans, I found nothing of such "tapping."

    Jürgen

    Hello, Hans Juergen

    Of course, you can turn off the tapping.

    I assume that you want to disable this tapping and instead of tapping you want to use the two buttons on the touchpad. Am I wrong?

    This can be disabled
    Control Panel-> mouse-> last tab settings of the device (or similar).
    There you have to choose the Synaptics TouchPad settings

    The new window should open, and you could find a lot of different details and parameters.
    You must mark the second option tapping. It s from the point of view of all.
    Here you uncheck the option enable tapping

    That s all ;)
