  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!

• How to DISABLE the touchpad on my laptop to use a mouse instead

  I had to reformat my computer Dell Inspiron 1545 (64-bit) and installed Microsoft Office 2010. I have a serious problem when you type in will I suddenly find I type in a place far behind the cursor. I thought that this is because I use a standard mouse operated by hand and not the touchpad in the laptop itself. I am told the only way to solve this problem is to turn off or disable the touchpad when mouse is used.

  All efforts to find the way to do this have failed. Can you please specify? Dell has become so elusive and inexplicable, it seems totally oblivious to the real problems associated with this product - a classic case of supplier having lost interest in his clients. All THREE so-called solution have no effect on my keyboard. To the right of F12 key ejects the CD. F3 provides details on the battery and Fn + F1 does nothing - in other words there is no change at all.
  I don't think that Dell or Microsoft has an idea of what the problems--and care even less!
