disable the touchpad on laptop

I have a pavilion dv7-6678us laptop. Windows 7 operating system

I would like to disable the touchpad I use a mouse. I went to the control under the mouse Panel and couldn't find the info of the mouse. I also tried to disable the touchpad in the left corner. No luck. any suggestions?

Dragon fur... Yes, I "should" have been able to find the settings, but could not. Looked everywhere I know to look at including the Device Manager before I posted. It was also a concern for me.  and did not know the name of the file. Gettin ' old. First learned about personal computers in 78 in the age of the dinosaurs and have used them since then. not good for good programming. just good to use and problem solving.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help! I was able to fix it by downloading the driver... then joy! joy! joy!

  • How to DISABLE the touchpad on my laptop to use a mouse instead

    I had to reformat my computer Dell Inspiron 1545 (64-bit) and installed Microsoft Office 2010. I have a serious problem when you type in will I suddenly find I type in a place far behind the cursor. I thought that this is because I use a standard mouse operated by hand and not the touchpad in the laptop itself. I am told the only way to solve this problem is to turn off or disable the touchpad when mouse is used.

    All efforts to find the way to do this have failed. Can you please specify? Dell has become so elusive and inexplicable, it seems totally oblivious to the real problems associated with this product - a classic case of supplier having lost interest in his clients. All THREE so-called solution have no effect on my keyboard. To the right of F12 key ejects the CD. F3 provides details on the battery and Fn + F1 does nothing - in other words there is no change at all.
    I don't think that Dell or Microsoft has an idea of what the problems--and care even less!

  • Impossible to disable the touchpad on my dell inspon laptop windows 7

    No matter how I try, keyboard gets up in the middle of the text, I type.  have not been able to turn off on my computer dell laptop, windows 7

    Hello Joan.

    You must have an application on your portable computer that governs your Touchpad control. To find it, go to control panel, click Properties of the mouse, find the Touchpad tab along the top row of tabs. Click on that and you should be able to find several parameters that allow you to disable the buttons, the buttons on pointing stick and Touchpad itself. In addition, it has a checkbox to disable the Touchpad when an external mouse is detected.

    If you do not have this application, you must download it from the Dell site. To do that I need the model laptop, you have (all letters and numbers) or your number Service number (at the bottom of the laptop), as well as the version and color depth of Windows 7 you are using (Tip: go into Control Panel, click on system, the info is in the first box of information).

    After back here with your results. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Kind regards

    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'.
