  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 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.

• How to disable the touchpad on Probook 4525 s permanently?

  How to disable the touchpad on Probook 4525 s permanently?  Can I uninstall the driver in Control Panel, but the next time, he is back on again once.  I use a usb mouse and touchpad is simply in the way when I type.

  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 >

  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.

  

  =====================================================

  Here's a 16.2.X TouchPad driver for the ProBook series - it can run on your laptop:

  sp58647 Synpatics V.16.2.10.12

  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

  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.

  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

  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...

• How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use another Viewer at all times?

  How to disable the built-in PDF Viewer and use Adobe Reader to view the PDF files, without having to set this preference, whenever I open Firefox? The default setting to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)". Thank you.

  It's strange. The integrated Viewer - Viewer by default - is described by the expression 'Preview in Firefox' and you will have changed to "Use Adobe Acrobat (in Firefox)".

  Well... you or an add-on or another program on your system must be changed.

  What happens if you disable the Adobe Acrobat plugin (not the extension to create a PDF file, leave it active). Here's how you can try this:

  Open the page modules using either:

  • CTRL + SHIFT + a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

  In the left column, click on Plugins. On the right side, find "Adobe Acrobat" and change the permission 'never enable '.

  Then in the Options page, Applications Panel, change your preference for "Portable Document Format (PDF)" to "Always ask" so you get the dialog box to download instead of the PDF, open in a tab.

  It sticks?
