  • My new HP laptop has a tactile mouse that drives me crazy. My documents will always big little to large whenever my hand approached the touchpad. How can I disable it?

    For example, I'm going to be typing a simple document with the size set to 100%.

    Hi Beth

    Because the keyboard is integrated in the housing of the computer laptop, something so simple that the vibration caused by typing can cause the touchpad the cursor or initiate a click, depending on sensitivity settings.

    You must disable the touchpad when typing. Most modern laptops provide an option or a keyboard shortcut to get there.

    The following keyboard shortcuts have been known to disable the touchpad on different systems. Press and hold down the Fn key and then press F3, F4, F6, F7, F9, or F12 to disable the Touchpad.

    Specific instructions, read the instructions for your system or contact the support of laptop manufacturers.

    Can't help you with the drivers, I am not a gamer.  If this controller driver is the only one then you will have to re - install in compatibility mode.

    As for the others you really tried google?  There are about 25,000 possible sites and only the first page, or are those who try to sell you something.

    To run in compatibility mode do the following:

    Click with the right button on the installer > properties > compatibility > choose OS

    It's a small download at the beginning of the installation file. By operating it shows all programs checked by default to install - the user then gets the choice to install all or just one or several in the meantime... until the programs that are selected are downloaded and installed.

It is not deleted in the trash and it does not allow him to go to the trash. I am including the screenshots. When you click on the link Eliaho it shows the option to uninstall as locked, the other file is a script that will explain how to uninstall and is completely useless.

    I touch I have a lock icon in the bottom bar of the viewer screen. How to proceed?

    Hi donnat46201292,

    The lock in the lower bar icon indicates that the currently open PDF document has certain types of document restrictions.

    The most common types of restrictions of the document are

    • Comment: Authorized / unauthorized
    • Filling of form fields: allowed / not allowed
    • Print: Authorized / unauthorized

    For example, to find out if the comment is allowed, press the comment button on the lower bar of the viewer screen.

    If the comment is not allowed, Acrobat Reader displays an alert like this.

    If filling out forms is permitted, you will see blue highlighted in color field.

    In all cases, you should be able to display a PDF document.

    Please let us know if you have any additional questions.  Thank you.

  • Why the FF Web page now have an icon that says "click me"?

    Yesterday the FF browser Web page open with its usual icon and "suggestions".

    When I opened it earlier today the FF icon itself was not clearly defined (asymmetrical), and there is an icon that says 'click here' (this icon was also biased).

    I thought that perhaps I was prompted to update to FF, so I checked and 'yes', found that I needed to upgrade to Version 33. The download has been extremely slow, and the menu of the FF browser continues to display the icon "biased" FF, in addition to the other "asymmetrical icon" that says only 'click here' (don't tell what I'm clicking on). I have never had this problem before and it's only a
    temporary glitch.

    WHAT HAPPENED TO FIREFOX? I've never had these problems before.

    edmeister and cor - el: I notice that now, this problem no longer exists because Firefox is more this watch. I sincerely thank you two for
    your suggestions.

    COR - el, I thank very you much for all your help in the past and in the
    number of messages that I have reviewed with a resolution provided by you!

  • all my icons that were normally at the bottom of the screen have migrated to the right side and are all bundled together how to place their return to the bott

    I recently bought a HP 15 laptop with 8.1. I use mainly desktop with latest Mozilla. All my icons that is usually found at the bottom of the screen have migrated to the right side of the screen and boots, to the top, I can't do your choice. I tried to customize without result. I am 75 but strive to keep abreast, but it baffled me.

    Sorry, it's a question of support of Windows, the Windows taskbar does not part of Firefox. I do not use Windows 8.1 myself, and I don't know if the process is the same as on my Windows XP - but maybe click and hold and drag this bar down might work like on Windows XP.

    If you do not understand what I said, or it does not work, here is a popular Windows 8 support forum that should be able to help you.

  • Satellite L300D - TEMPRO said that I have no space on the HARD drive

    Hello

    I'm new to the site... I got a L300D for three months and no problem but in the last two weeks, I had TEMPRO warns my readers have free space that disappears quickly.

    In fact at this moment I have a total of * 800Mbs * when in fact I more than * 90Gbs * and I even used a shedder file to clean up more space.
    Is there a way to get TEMPRO on track or is this a normal problem, unsolveable.

    Hey Buddy

    TEMPRO is a tool that scans the entire HARD drive
    I guess you have different partitions on the HARD drive and I guess Tempro tells you that the free space among available partitions_ _on breaks down

    Well, I'm not quite sure what partition is a sense but perhaps hidden partition Vista first, s (WinRE).
    You should know that Vista uses a hidden backup files partition, this partition can be used if something goes wrong with the operating system

    I think Tempro means that partition
