How to disable the touchpad on Dell Inspiron 1545 in Win 7 Pro SP1 when you use an external mouse?

I would like for the touchpad on my Dell Inspiron 1545 are automatically disabled when I plug in my Logitech wireless mouse.

Thanks to all who responded.

I had this mess when I did a system update Dell routine and sent the new Alps driver, who immediately washed Select my previous settings.

Yes, I tgried to return to the former pilot, who worked flawlsly for many a yearf without success.

I finally solved the problem, at least on my machine.

A. Click Start; in the RUJN area type: main.cpl

B. click on the graph of a touchpad

C. click DEVICE SELECT

D. at the bottom of this window, you will see a "Disable touchpad" line preceded by a checkbox. Check the box and now the touchpad is disabled.

It worked on two Dell laptops different, I've worked on both running Win 7 SP1 with the new driver Alps.

Good luck to all and THANKS for the suggestions.

  • How to disable the touchpad disabled?

    I just got this laptop and it's driving crazy me.

    I tap on the touchpad, and I touched the area where you can disable the touchpad about 1,000 times a day. No matter if I do what he says, I can't that faucet back on.

    I press the windows on my KB.  Type mouse into the search bar.  Tab and then arrow key over to reactivate and it's driving me crazy! I use this for business, but also personal use.

    I see you where you can disable the touchpad, I don't want that.  I want to disable the zone of the touchpad where you tap enable and disable.  It is a defect of design for me.

    Thanks for any help that can be provided.

    Hello stillrivers,

    I see you are having a problem with the touchpad does not disable. Did you by chance a look at the post which explains how to disable the touchpad?

    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 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.

    Damy salvation!

    There are a few options depending on your OS and your version of TouchPad.

    • The best option, if it should be available for you is:

    New drivers (at least the 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 >

    Another method that may work with a driver older if the best option isn't available:

    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 "Turn off the TouchPad.

    Close

    Ok


    NOTE
    if this alternative is available, it is very well, 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.
