How can I disable double tapping on my touchpad?

I can't seem to find where I turn this option off.  I had turned it off before, and it worked fine.  When I type, my cursor randomly moves to another position on the screen.  I think it's because I hit too hard and you activate the double.  I read a previous QA, and they suggested to turn off the pad when I type.  That works well, but then I do not have access to the pointer.  It is just the double tap I want off.  is this possible?

Hello ForeignDust,

Thank you for posting.  I think I might have a solution for you.  You can accelerate the speed of double tap so that requested the touchpad to be double typing really fast to activate.  I've included the steps to change this below.

Change the settings of the mouse

You can customize your mouse in a variety of ways, for example, the permutation of the functions of the buttons on your mouse, making it more visible mouse pointer and change the speed of scrolling wheel.

Please let me know if this helps you.

To change the operation of the mouse buttons

  1. Click to open the mouse properties.

  2. Click the button and then do one of the following:

    • To change the functions of the left and right mouse buttons, select the switch primary and secondary buttons check.

    • To change the speed at which you need to click the buttons to perform a double click, move the slider of the double click to fast or slow speed.

    • To enable the ClickLock, which enables you to highlight or drag without hold down the mouse button, select the enable the ClickLock check box.

    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 ;)

    Hi Chris,

    Here are the instructions to turn off the Zoom feature on your iPhone:

    If your home screen icons are magnified on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

    Disable Zoom in your device settings

    If you cannot access the settings because your home screen icons are magnified, double tap with three fingers on the screen to zoom out.

    To turn off the Zoom feature, go to settings > general > accessibility > Zoom > press the slider to turn off.

    Happy new year!

  • How can I disable 5 GHz on 2nd GEN Airport Express?

    I read the previous explanations:

    1 / system preferences > airport > click Wireless on the left, click Advanced, search the list for the 2.4 GHz network and make sure that it is at the top. But I can't find such a list.

    2 / airport utility > modify > click on the wireless tab. What wireless tab? Not easy for me at the airport 6.3.1.

    There must be a way, but I'm just not see it. I'm told my wi - fi enabled printer is more likely to work if she is not confused by the existence of a 5 GHz channel.

    Help much appreciated.

    How can I disable 5 GHz on 2nd GEN AirPort Express?

    You can not.  The 2nd Gen AirPort Express is a double router broadband simultaneously ... so the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz are always on... or... the two are always turned off if you turn off the wireless.

    What you can do, is have a different name for the 5 GHz network, so the 2.4 GHz network has a name and the 5 GHz network will have a different name.  The two networks will continue to use the same wireless network password.

    Not sure if that would help your real question... what it could be.  More details would be useful.

  • 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.

  • Soundcards Narrator: How can I disable my Narrator?

    How can I disable my Narrator?

    If already provided standard procedure does not (and should be), try the following.  Before you start, create a System Restore Point and backup the registry just to be on the safe side.

    Go to start / search and type in regedit.exe and enter and then double-click on the program icon that appears.

    Go to: HKCU NT\CurrentVersion\Accessibility

    Clear the value of Configuration and quit the Registry Editor (but make a note of this in case you want to restore or whatever it turns off).

    Narraror should now be disabled (and perhaps a few other accessibility features - but this problem will be solved).

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck.
