How to disable HP laptop mouse pad in Windows 8?

Original title: Windows 8 mouse pads

Windows 8 don't let me stop the mousepad on my laptop HP G Series as done in windows 7.  It's a pain, I use an optical mouse... I keep hitting the pavement by accident.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for choosing Windows 8 and welcome to the Community Forums of Microsoft.

I see that you want to disable the mouse pad.

Let us work together to solve this problem.

We wish to inform you that Windows has never had any device which allowed to turn off the mouse pad. This feature is sometimes provided by the manufacturers of mouse pad.

Most laptops have an external switch or button, which when activated, disable the mouse pad. You can try if it works.

You can also toggle the control panel mouse pad.

Follow the steps below to do so:

a. press the Windows key + X, and then select Control Panel.

b. Select the mouse properties.

c. right-click on the mouse to turn on/off pad.

The mouse pad can also be disabled via Device Manager.

a. press the Windows key + X, and then select Device Manager.

b. expand mice and other pointing devices.

c. right-click and disable the Scripture that says mouse mat or even.

For additional assistance, please contact HP Support teams.

If you have any questions on Windows, please write to us at any time.

We are happy to help you.

  • How can I activate the scroll function on my laptop mouse pad?

    Hello

    My laptop mouse pad is no longer scroll in FireFox or MS Word (or any other program I've tried) since switching from Vista to Windows 7. In the Windows Help section, it suggests that there should be a tab "Scrolling" in the mouse properties window, however, when I opened the window just 4 tabs are "Buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware". How can I switch on / activate the scrolling feature?

    Thank you

  • laptop mouse pad changes size of the icon on the desktop?

    When using my laptop mouse pad, the desktop icons is is expanded.  I want to make it even smaller, but the options of the control panel do not work to do this.  How to smaller again, and why are they larger when I touched the mouse pad?

    On a desktop PC, hold down the CTRL key and turning the mouse wheel will make the icons larger or smaller. Maybe you did the cell phone equivalent to that. Maybe even a sticky control key.

  • pavillion g6 laptop mouse pad

    Hello

    My son has had a brand new, one for Christmas and all was going well until he started today and the mouse pad is totally insensitive. Can anyone help?

    @lisabling,

    Try the following.

    Shut down the laptop. Tap here to f8 start you toward the top access to the Windows Recovery Console.  Use the arrow keys to select "Safe Mode with network" and press ENTER.  Let windows fully load in this mode and see if the Touchpad works in this mode.

    If this is the case, download the latest installer Synaptics driver on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp54001-54500/sp54040.exe

    Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click on the entry "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and choose uninstall.

    Once done, restart the computer and Windows restarts normally - check the Touchpad still works.

    If this is the case, open your downloads folder, right-click on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once done, restart the laptop.

  • How can I disable the internal mouse pad when you use a USB external mouse

    I want to disable the internal mousepad on my Dell laptop and use a mouse USB - external connected instead, because tapping the heat of my hands seems to move the cursor, if the letters and words are mixed.

    Hi Martyn,

    Most laptops have a function key (FN) which can be used in combination with other keys for example FN + F2 or FN + F7 to disable or enable the touchpad.

    If you are not able to disable using the function keys, then try the following steps.

    To disable the touchpad in Device Manager, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start.
    2. In the start search box type devmgmt.msc, and then on enter.
    3. In Device Manager, expand mice and other pointing devices and locate the touchpad.
    4. Right click on the touchpad and click on the disable option.

    Following the steps above should help you disable the touchpad.

    Hello

    You can change this as follows.

    Open windows control panel and on the top right, next to the display by: select "large icons".  In the new page layout, select the entry of Synaptics.

    The hardware/software version will depend on real option that you're looking for (see the example below), but it is usually called 'check' Palm or Smart Sense'-disable this function and apply the changes.

  • How to disable the laptop network WiFi & allow cable TV

    I have my desktop computer connected using cable for my internet & I have a laptop that I was using WiFi for my internet, how do I change my laptop wi fi to cable so I can go online on my laptop, as well as on my desktop, thanks

    Hello

    You do not have to manually disable you the WiFi, all you have to do is to run an ethernet cable from your router/access point and connect to your ethernet port on the laptop.

    As soon as an ethernet cable is plugged into a computer/laptop, Wifi is disabled automatically, it's the industry standard ethernet tends to provide more transmision of data reliable and stronger than wireless signals.

    However if you use a Modem and not a gateway/router then you can buy a new router, or ask your ISP to upgrade your Moderm to a gateway.

    If you want to keep it cost effective and minimal cost, you could also try doing an Internet connection sharing, providing that your computer has an additional network card, or you could buy a new network adapter and snap it to your computer because the laptop is internet sharing off of your computer in this configuration, you may experience a slow connection.
