How * disable * the touchpad power function?

Hi, I have a craving dv7 and it has a function whereby if you press twice on the left upper corner of the touchpad, it switches it on or off.

I want to DISABLE this feature, because I'm constantly tripping by accident in the normal conditions of use and so am always disable the touchpad and have to tap twice again to reactivate.

I looked online and the documentation but have found no way to disable this feature.  Does anyone know how?

THX,

Chris

FYI, I contacted HP Support and they sent me the following, which tells how do.

If it please click on the links below and follow the steps mentioned in the Web page under the section adjust single and double tapping.

http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03523373

Unlike in the image settings window the touchpad in the link above, the settings window of the touchpad on the dv7 want is not an expandable tree for tapping settings, but it has an icon of the gear to the right that if clicked, opens another window of dialogue that has a checkbox to enable/disable this feature.

    Stop your X 301, then turn on. When the ThinkPad logo appears, immediately press F1 to enter in the
    The BIOS configuration utility. If your system has a set supervisor password then you will need to type it in demand.

    Use the cursor keys to navigate through the menus until you find the one that bears on the TouchPad. Toggle the active setting to disabled. Press ESC until you return to the main Menu. Now save the settings of the BIOS update, and then restart Windows.

    Make sure that you do not inadvertently to other BIOS settings.

    If you do not have by chance I'll re-post the answer here:

    To do this...

    Go to the control panel.

    ·         Go to mouse properties windows and click on device settings

    ·         Highlight the Synaptic Touchpad and click settings

    ·         In the properties of Synaptic Touchpad Windows on the left and the Panel you will see Touchpad Disable Zone, click it.

    ·         Uncheck the box 'double-tap to activate or disable the Touchpad'

    ·         Click OK

    If this does not work by chance, let me know. Also, if you have any questions please ask me.

  • How to disable the touchpad on my Tecra M10 - 10H?

    I just want to know if it is possible to disable the touchpad and is so, how, please?

    What I tried (which did not work):

    1. by pressing Fn + F9.

    2. go to "Mouse properties" and looking for an option to disable the touchpad it.

    After reading your ad, I must say that we don't know anything about your laptop.
    What operating system do you use?
    FN keys work or not in general?
    Is the driver for the touchpad that is installed or not?

    In my opinion, you must visit the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and install driver touchpad and additional package from Toshiba. After making this check please if FN + F9 works. If this isn't the case, you should be able to disable touchpad in the mouse properties. After installation of the Synaptics driver new additional tab will be added to the device settings, and you will find option toggle.

    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!
