How can I keep my internal on my work laptop mousepad while I have an external mouse connected?

I had to have a new hard drive, put on my laptop. Since then, I had problems with my external mouse I use. The guys at PC shop told me how to turn off my internal mouse pad so that I would not inadvertently touching the mouse pad while typing and get unwanted words in places that I didn't want them to appear. But now I'm having this problem again. Can you tell me where to go to turn off my internal mousepad while I use my external mouse I have installed? I prefer to use external mouse only. Thank you

That's how I did it on my HP laptop.  Hold down the Windows key and press 'R '.  You get the run dialogue box. Type in 'Control' (without the quotes). Click on 'OK' Control Panel opens.  Find "Mouse" and click it. You should see a tab that reads "device settings". Click this tab and just below where it is the device listed, you should see a check box for "Disable pointing device internal when the external USB pointing device is attached." Click the box to check and see if it will work.

  • How can I get the internal speakers to work on a hpvs15 screen

    I have NEEDED HELP GETTING THE INTERNAL speakers to WORK ON A HPVS15 MONTOR!

    Hello

    Try a reset of the monitor. Unplug the power cord from the monitor and hold the power button of the monitor for 30 to 60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and it lights up.  Does that help?

    Consult this Manual.  Go into the on-screen display-->> volume and turn up to max all the sounds?

    Don't forget that you have a green audio cable plugged into the monitor and audio output on your PC port. Don't forget to unplug the headphones.

    Try a PC speaker separated in order to eliminate the PC as the problem.  You can also try the monitor and cable on another PC.

  • How can I keep game and separate music Apple iTunes?

    Hello

    How can I keep iTunes game (library iCloud) and Apple music separate on the same Apple ID?

    The last time I tried the Apple music it completely messed my library of music (songs missing, poorly titled songs, unplayable songs, wrong album art, stripped playlists etc etc). But it was at the beginning, at the launch of Apple's music. I like to give him another chance for a month or two, but I really don't want to spend months rebuilding my library again if things go so wrong for a second time.

    I have a back up and this is what saved the last time, but this isn't really the point...

    Hello

    We cannot dissociate iTunes Apple's music game because they both use the same iCloud music library.

    As it has already been associated with your library, the inclusion of Apple's music should be transparent. Music Apple now use the same audio fingerprint matching as iTunes game. The main change you see is access to Apple's music library. Your existing music will continue to be shown as 'matched', 'transferred' or 'buy' but music downloaded music Apple will have a status of ICloud 'Music to Apple'. DRM no longer applies to your own music used on other computers or devices.

    In addition, you can leave your game iTunes subscription expire you will continue to get the same benefits with Apple's music.

    Personally, I've added music Apple when it was introduced and have had real problems, only a few hiccups.

    I have a large collection of big slideshows in iPhoto, created over the years with captions from the titles of the photos. How can I keep these slide shows subtitled in Photos?

    You can't keep slideshows as captioned photos.  Slide shows get migrated in the form of albums for the Group of photos is maintained.  But Photos don't have the ability to add descriptions to the slide show so that they would have to be manually added to each slide automatically.

    However, a possible solution would be to export every slide show in iPhoto as a Quicktime movie file. Which will keep the titles and descriptions on each slide.  The resulting QT files can be imported into the iPhoto library before migration or photo library after.

  • How can I keep the wargames encroach on the browser on a new tab?

    Firstly, I download and install fire Fox. everything works fine and fast. the second day without any warning a new tab of a site of war games opens automatically... . How can I keep this from happening?

    Is there a model when this happens, for example, when you start Firefox, no matter what time you go to your home page (or open a new window using Ctrl + n), or at random times?

    You can check a few things:

    (1) home page

    Firefox allows several tabs for home page (s). You can see the extra page in the Options dialog box. See: start-up, homepage, tabs and download settings.

    (2) modules

    Unexpected behavior may be caused by unwanted extensions. Try turning off all non-essential or unrecognized extensions on page modules. Either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a
    • Firefox orange (or the Tools menu) button > Add ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, when in doubt, turn off.

    Typically, a link will appear above at least an extension disabled to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links in the last step.

    Any difference?

    # 1, is the link to use HTML to simplify the interface?

    Maybe it's that the site stores your preferences in a cookie, and you may have set Firefox to delete the cookie when you quit the browser. There are a few built-in ways to do this:

    • The Firefox value "keep [cookies] until: I close Firefox" on the Privacy Options (you can create an exception for your messaging sites)
    • The value 'Clear history closing Firefox' Firefox on Privacy Options
    • A private browsing window allows to visit the site of your mail

    It is also possible that the modules or external software can clean the cookies, or that there is a problem with the database file Firefox uses cookies to store.

    # 2, you have this problem just started recently? If you find one any relationship with the site content type (for example, pages that use Flash or other media)?

    How can I keep the clock permanently box?

    If your task bar appears only when you mouse over, this Microsoft support article describes where you can change this setting "Auto hide": Microsoft Windows XP - hide the taskbar.

    While Firefox cannot normally is not encroaching on the area of the taskbar, if it's there, sometimes the file that stores the size of Firefox window settings may be corrupted. If necessary, you can delete the file, then Firefox will return to the default toolbar layout and window/size of your position.

    Open your Firefox current settings file - also known as your Firefox profile folder - use:

    Help > troubleshooting information

    On this screen, click on the "view file" button to launch a new window of Windows Explorer that lists your settings files.

    Without close this new window, go to Firefox and output (for example, the Firefox button > file menu or the exit > exit).

    Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup.

    Then please scroll down your settings files and find localstore.rdf. Rename this file to something like localstore.old (in this way, it is always there in case you want to use again).

    You're done in this window and you can close it.

    I like to see more of the image of the character, by right-clicking the (added) trailed Fox in the toolbar that is located on the right side of my favorites, the customization option appears, and the toolbar drops aprx. 1/4 "more reveling of my characters that I love. How can I keep the best overview of my character... Please...

    A character consists of two images.

    One large image (lightweighttheme-head, 3000 x 200) for the toolbars at the top and a smaller (lightweighttheme-foot, 3000 x 100) to the footer that are stored in the Firefox profile folder.

    A light theme (Persona) covers the part of the user interface of Firefox (the toolbar area) and not the window of the browser with the internet pages.

    You can create additional toolbars to get extra space via "view > toolbars > customize" to see more of the Persona.

    You need to put something on a toolbar (drag an item of top space) before closing the window customize because empty toolbars are automatically deleted.
