    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 disable the touchpad on my laptop Pavilion dv4155cl?

    I have a Pavilion laptop dv4155cl and HATE the touchpad, mainly because when you type on the keyboard, the keypad is just under my Palm of the right hand, and it hinders so try to type as the guard cushion see my Palm by tapping the touchpad, and mess substance upward. My old dv1000 was a dedicated switch just above the touchpad to turn, but this one isn't, and since I use a mouse exclusively in any case, I would just turn off the internal touchpad but don't know how? I tried to uninstall through Control Panel, but whenever I restart the computer Windows sees it as new hardware and reinstall... Can someone tell me please how to disable it without having to tear the thing apart and unplugging it physically?

    BTW, I am running Win XP Home Edition SP3

    Well, since I messed with it fo the day I managed to solve this myself :-) Here's what I did. First I went into the control panel and checked the properties of the mouse, I discovered that there are 3 displayed here, TWO who registered as a HID-Compliant mouse and the 3rd like PS2 Mouse. In reviewing the properties of each, I've found that BOTH HID devices had the ability to be either be enabled or disabled, and by disabling each of them in turn, I discovered that my USB mouse is turned off and the other turned off something else but neither off the touchpad, this left ONLY the PS2 Mouse to be the touchpad... so I looked at its properties and could find NO WAY within its property to disable tabs your device, then I noticed it's file of the pilot was very old, the way back in 201 actually, so I decided to try to update the driver, I have DID in selecting the automatic update, which was the recommended choice, after small time it found and installed a driver Alps dated in 2005 and he then told me he had to restart to the pilot would be usable. After that, I looked in the propertieds Alps & on one tab named others, there is a selection that says use Touchpad & PS2 Mouse, then when I unchecked this selection, the touchpad is now disabled and my USB mouse still works perfectly... Exactly what I wanteed. Of course, reselect this question in properties reactivates the touchpad, it gives me a convenient way to enable or disable the internal touchpd at will, so KUDOS to me... :-)
