Disable the mouse pad

I want to disable my mousepad on my computer dell laptop.  I can't find it anywhere... only the speed of our buttons of the mouse options.  I want to turn the mouse pad everything out, or unless you disable the option of tapping.  It drives me crazy.

It is perhaps feasible through the Fn (next to the left shift key) key in combination with one of its F - keys, see the documentation for your laptop. You could also look in Control Panel-mouse for deactivation of plays and other functions (but maybe that's where you have already looked at). Finally, you could disable the touchpad in Device Manager.

  • Click Start
  • Click on run
  • Type devmgmt.msc and press enter

To get help, if you need, let us know your Dell laptop model number.

  • How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play?

    How can I disable the mouse pad when you use a mouse plug-and-play? I tried to disable the driver, and nothing works.

    Hello

    Check with support of the manufacturer system, documentation online or forums that there is probably
    Shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with TouchPad entered)
    and some come with a utility that loads in the Notification area next to the clock in the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touchpad - the driver tab-
    Click on update driver (it comes may not do anything like MS is far behind the drivers of certification), now right CLICK
    on the TouchPad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad from working.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    I hope this helps.

  • How can I disable the mouse pad? I prefer to use a mouse.

    The cushion is a nuisance especially when I try to type, perhps I catch it with my wrists, I don't know. I prefer to use a mouse.

    The 'quick and dirty' would be to cover the trackpad with something thick enough no pickup "taps" or "gestures". A card cut to tight should be thick enough, but I use a three thicknesses of sheet glued together and cut to tight in the trackpad to open (a corner cut so I can remove it when I have to use the trackpad). I did back in 2008 with an Acer laptop and now do it with my Asus EeePC 900 netbook; If I don't have the mouse with me (or the battery is dead - mouse USB wireless) I just remove the "cap" cardboard if I can use the trackpad.

    In addition, check with a Windows 7 support forum to find out how to disable this "device". This isn't really a problem of Firefox support.

  • How to disable the mouse pad scroll feature?

    A crossed the features Control Panel and I am unable to turn off this feature

    Most of the keys are now equipped with software designed to have the side right of the touch pad scroll top and bottom of the page and the left to zoom in and out of the page.
    In most cases, if you click Start > Control Panel > mouse, there should be a tab of brand such as Dell Touchpad. In addition, you can find a touchpad icon in the taskbar (next to the clock in the lower right corner of the screen). Right click and open this icon should help you in the right direction.
    The process to change these settings varies depending on the laptop and may require a phone call to the manufacturer for assistance.
    I hope this helps!

    Hi dove2k,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    You will need to enable the touchpad on the laptop itself.

    Find the area of the touch pad, you will find a button to enable or disable the touchpad.

    If the step above doesn't, try this step.

    Go to control panel > mouse > device settings tab
    Click (or to disable)

    Notes:
    On some models, there is a keyboard shortcut to enable or disable the touchpad. For example, ACER, just do Fn + F7.
    You can click on Reset device if none of these solutions work.

    If you still can't touch pad to work, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

  • The mouse pads, the Satellite Pro C660, do weird things

    Hi guys, I have a Satellite C660 Pro who has developed a weird problem

    When the laptop has been for some time, the mouse pad will start scrolling and horizontal scrolling when I do not want to control the cursor of the mouse almost impossible until I restart, then it works very well for anywhere between 20 minutes and a few hours before it goes nuts new

    I tried to update the drivers, I also tried to disable the ability of mouse pad to scroll or do anything other than to be a mouse pad, but this does not seem to have changed anything

  • Parameters for the turning off the mouse pad

    I have a Pavilion laptop dv7 (P/N VZ500PA #ABG) running Windows 7 and I want to use a mouse with it. I'm not entirely sure what the thing is in front of the keyboard is called (the one used when you do not have a mouse), but I want to know how to change the settings on my computer so that when I turn off the mouse pad thing, it REMAINS off the next time I turn on my computer. I know that it is possible to change the settings to do this, because it allows to do this before you change a lot of settings. It's really annoying that I have to press the button whenever I connect to Windows (if I did, then I find myself accidentally pressing the button as I type and accidentally he then clicks on things).

    If anyone can help me I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    My mousepad doesn' works as it should. I tried to unlock with FN + F5, only F5, FN + F9,... but nothing helps.
    All I can do is move the cursor and use the mouse pad when it keeps the left mouse button at the same time.
    Someone at - it a solution?

    To be honest I don't never heard such behavior touchpad.
    Did you test all parameters of the touchpad?
    If there is possibility to set all settings as default please do and test the functionality again.

    In any case, best test material is to reinstall the operating system and check the functionality of the touchpad with "presets".

    How can I turn off this ridiculous mouse dwell.  It keeps jumping my cursor to anywhere where I got the slider when I started typing.  He also chose boxes when I do something else and not made a meticulous effort to put the cursor somewhere safe.  I have accidentally gone to several advertising sites and got a multitude of viruses the other day.  This "option" is a threat.  I have restored my driver and that he did not.

    Hi PatrickBoyle,

    1. Did you the latest changes on the computer?
    2. You use the portable computer touchpad or mouse on the computer?
    3. You have security software installed on the computer?
    4. Where you can remove the infection by the virus of the computer?

    Method 1

    If you use a computer laptop touchpad, I suggest that you turn off and then connect the USB mouse to the computer and check if the problem persists.

    Check if the problem persists in safe mode.

  • How to turn on the Double Tap feature on the mouse pad!

    Good so I used to be able to double tap on the mouse pad, click and I accidentally turned off somehow and I can't for the life of me understand how to re-enable it. Help please!

    In most cases, the controls for it are in the start menu / Control Panel / mouse.  Where varies by manufacturer (computer and mouse) so I can't help you there that you have not provided this information, and even if you don't I probably just refer to manufacturers of assistance.  But before you go watch, read the next paragraph.

    But it turns out that there is another way to set this feature.  Here is the procedure:http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/40246-single-click-option.html.  It is quite simple and does not involve all the controls of the mouse (and can be changed back as you wish).

    I hope this helps.
