Disable the Touchpad BUTTONS on a 8570w EliteBook

Dear HP:
I have a HP EliteBook 8570w, which I must say is the most impressive mobile workstation EVER. If only I could solve a problem...

The BUTTONS on the touchpad - especially those above the touchpad - how do I disable them? I have large hands and find myself accidentally hitting the keys, causing lose whole paragraphs of text or to launch programs that I didn't intend to launch. Help!

Sincerely,.

Thanks for the link, but this site allow me to create a new topic, so I can't ask my question. Looks that no one else has this problem.

Now - tape?

  • After execution of the new updated Adobe, HP Elitebook 2760p left click on the touchpad button has stopped working.

    Original title: left click not working not not on HP laptop

    On my HP Elitebook 2760p running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, left click on the touchpad button has stopped working.  The right click works, the works of pad, (scrolling and click on) it's just the left click.  It started after the execution of the new update of adobe. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the driver synaptec. I tried the mouse fast and slow speed. I tried pressing rigid, flexible, in different places. I would try to uninstall the update from Adobe, but it won't allow me.  So I uninstalled Adobe Reader and re-installed. Still nothing. Any suggestions?

    Hi cyrilmillot,

    You try to run the Adobe Reader removal tool to remove the Adobe reader completely the system software.

    See the link to Adobe to download the removal tool:

    After retiring, you can check whether the left click works. If it does not, you could get in touch with Adobe support for further assistance on this topic:

  • Tecra M9 Win7 x 64 driver required to disable the touchpad

    Hello

    I installed Windows 7 x 64 on my Toshiba Tecra and everything works great so far. But I have trouble with my touchpad.

    The touchpad works, the problem is, I want to put out of service. I only work with the stick and the touchpad causes an arrow of jumping mouse; with the tap function to click very often large sections of text are deleted.

    Under Vista 32, I was able to disable the touchpad. Und Win 7 that I miss this feature. I tried several things; e.g. installation of drivers more portable Toshiba or from synaptics page or, Alternatively, drivers for keyboards-Alps. But nothing works.

    The laptop is a Tecra M9 PTMB0E; the PCI ID of the touchpad is PNP0F13

    Thank you

    Hello

    The Alps Electric to another Toshiba laptop touchpad driver should work because the touchpad is the same.
    So Don t understand why you are not able to install the driver for the touchpad.

    Usually the touchpad can be disabled using FN + F9 function.
    To get the functionality of the FN button that you need to install VAP and Flash memory card Support utility. I chose two other series of satellites (L500) applications.

    Try this.

  • How to disable the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6

    How to disable the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6

    Welcome to the forum, Sally.

    There are several ways to do this - method you choose may depend on what you need to accomplish.

    Follow a few ideas.

    • A double tap farm in the upper left corner of the touch pad if it off for a single session.

    Enable / disable

    Control Panel > display icon > mouse > Settings of TouchPad > click on "enable TouchPad.

    They continue parameters to install and configure the TouchPad as you like it...

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

    A method that works with the pilots 'old', it is a failure of session by session...

    Make sure this setting is ON / CHECKED:

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    () repeat) TouchPad settings (button) > click tapping >

    Click the shimmering blue wheel

    In "box to Disable TouchPad settings".

    CHECK "Double Tap to activate / disable the TouchPad.

    In the 'Action in the upper left'

    CHECK "Disable the TouchPad during a session.

    Close

    Ok


    NOTE that, if it is available on your version, you can select to "turn off the TouchPad" - that's fine, unless something goes wrong.  You could get stuck without your USB mouse AND no way to return to the setting to activate the touchpad.  I don't know if I would use this setting.

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

    Next...
    Latest drivers (V16.x) have the ability to disable the TouchPad / click on the keypad with a setting on the main page 'Settings' when a USB mouse is used.  This is a very nice feature.

    Control Panel > display icon > mice > TouchPad [ClickPad] settings >

    CHECK "disable the pointing device internal when the external USB pointing device is attached.

    If you want to be alerted and see a visual cue of disability >

    TICK "Animated icon in the taskbar" >

    and make sure you have your updated task bar notifications so you can see the view of the mouse.

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

    I hope this helps!

  • Z930 protected - will not disable the Touchpad

    Hello world

    Thanks in advance for your help. I have a laptop Toshiba protégé Z930.
    The button above the Tablet (built in mouse on the laptop) which usually disables the touchpad no longer works.

    This is why I can not disable the touchpad. Also function F9 or turn off the touchpad.
    This makes me think that it's a software problem. I updated the driver, and nothing has changed.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Could you give more details about your problem?

    For example: what Windows system do you use?
    Other FN keys work correctly?
    This driver updated you exactly?

    Have you tried to reinstall the Package added on the value of the Toshiba (for Win 7)?
    This package contains a few pilots required and tools that control different functions for laptop.
    So next to the touchpad driver installation, this package should be installed / updated also.

  • No way to disable the touchpad on Satellite L450D - 11 X

    I had my laptop Satellite L450D - 11 X, pre-installed with Windows 7 64-bit, since November and that you come to learn about the function key to turn off the touchpad - a very desirable feature. Unfortunately, pressing the combination of keys Fn + F9 does not work. There is a question answered - now closed - in this forum that advises to restore the laptop to its original configuration to address this problem, which I guess means running a HARD drive recovery procedure and restore the application software - not a trivial task. I took a chance and downloaded and installed the driver for the TouchPad Synaptics Windows 7 x 64. He has a facility to disable the touchpad in the mouse properties window, that works.

    I became aware of the ability to disable the touchpad keys during the installation of new Acer laptop from a friend, who has a button next to the touchpad to market. Come the day where all laptop has such a change a lot of laptop users will be happy, judging by the number of people, I fell on the web looking for a way to disable the touchpad keys, especially when entering.

    I would prefer if the L450D key combination worked, however. Does anyone know how to do this without a HARD drive recovery? Some of my other function keys are also "broken." Not vital, but I don't hate things that don't work as specified.

    What you need to do is to reinstall the package of added value. You can find it on the download page of Toshiba. This package contains several tools and one of them is utility (command buttons FN) flash cards. Remove VAP preinstalled system, restart your computer and install the latest version of the Toshiba support page.

    To say, this little button is also available on some models of Toshiba. If I remember well, it must be available on A500 and U500. Maybe also on some other new models of laptops.

    Hello

    You can turn off when you use an external mouse, but you will need to turn on when you want to use the touchpad. Please try:

    Control Panel > mouse > Clickpad parameters.

    Check Disable internal...

    Click apply/Ok
