Is there a way to disable the touch screen on a TouchSmart 520?

One of my cats likes to stick his nose in the touchscreen.  Is there a way to simply turn off the touch screen on a 520-1020?

Hi cs700,.

Here's how:

Go to the sounds and then hardware and Control Panel.

Select the Pen and Touch and go to the contact tab.

At the top is "Use your finger as input device."  Uncheck the box.

Click apply and then click OK.

The touch screen no longer works to the touch.  You should now use the mouse and keyboard, just like any other computer.

Repeat these steps to reactivate it.  "You also have to check"Enable multi-touch and inking gestures", it turns off when the" use your finger... "is disabled.

Hope that helps.

If you like my answer, say thank you with a Kudo. ***

  • Help! Disable the touch screen on Envy Touchsmart Ultrabook 4

    Hi, I have a problem, try to disable the touch screen of the Envy Touchsmart Ultrabook 4 function in Windows 8... I was looking for an answer on how to do it, but I did not find anything. I tried the method of the control panel > hardware and sound > pen and touch and then disable the option "use your finger as input device", but this option is not there for me! If anyone knows how to do this, I would be very grateful.

    Hello

    I have another type of TouchSmart, but this may work for you:

    1. Press Windows + X logo.
    2. Select Device Manager from the list.
    3. Click on the small arrow next to Interface devices to expand the list.
    4. Click the touchscreen driver (in my case, Voltron NextWindow touch screen).
    5. Right click and select disable from the list.
    6. Click Yes in the dialog box that asks you if you are sure you want to disable the touch screen driver.

    When you want your touchscreen to work again, follow the above procedure, EXCEPT when right-clicking on the touch screen driver, select enable.

  • Disable the touch screen for a laptop Windows 8?

    I have a Dell XPS L702x infamous Ghost by clicking on issues where the touch screen randomly 'clicks' on arbitrary areas of the screen (mine seems to be in the lower right corner, often minimize all my open windows or opening calendar) and through the upgrade to Windows 8, it seems a former N-Trig driver who disappeared I would disable the touch screen. Now, I have no way to disable the touch screen, and while Google suggested release "Use your finger as input device" under the pen and touch, I don't even have this available to UN-click box on!

    So: How can I disable the touch screen on my laptop or y at - it a program that can do for me? I am indifferent in fact using the touchscreen - I'm more concerned with the ability to functionally use my laptop without sporadic clicks on my screen.
    Thank you.

    I had the same problem with XPS 17 my wife.    I needed to restore basic functionality so that disabling the touch screen was acceptable.     However, unlike samie (but like you) I didn't "Use your finger as input" option in the control panel.

    I tried to disable the device N-Trig driver in Device Manager, but the pilot did not appear to have be properly installed (after the upgrade from win7)

    I went on the N-Trig (http://www.n-trig.com/Content.aspx?Page=Downloads_Drivers) driver download site and download the new drivers for windows 8 (I have the feeling that they weren't here last week).

    I then when options "Device Manager" on the "Hardware and Sound" page of the control panel.

    In the Device Manager screen, I saw a node N-trig DuoSense digitizers with several below subnode (before dev driver install it there was only one).

    I right mouse button on the element at the top, with a name that ends by "between the roots" and select "disable."

    This touch screen successfully disabled.

    Pity to lose the touch screen, but my wife does not use it and I was in danger of my life, as it was.

  • Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar?

    Is there a way to disable the function where firefox opens a new tab when you scroll a click in the header bar? This feature in conflict with my program of multiple monitors (display fusion) since this program allows you to change your current active window the monitor 1 monitor 2 and vice versa BY clicking the header of BAR SCROLLING (or whatever you call the highest part of your window). With firefox, I can't easily change my active window between monitors because instead, it opens a new tab.

    If the window is maximized, you can then switch this pref to disable the display of the tabs in the title bar:

    • browser.tabs.drawInTitlebar = false

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Is there a way to disable the timestamp in the file history?

    Hello.

    Is there a way to disable the timestamp in the file history?

    Original title: file history

    No, you can't turn the timestamp in the file history.  That's how the backup system knows what backups are latest to avoid corruption and file damage.  It is also an inherent requirement of the NTFS file system, which require that all the files have the underlying timestamps.

    Thanks in advance.

    Published by: user8331446 on January 12, 2009 17:17

    I'm not a technical guy either! It is how to configure the self-service score card. It seems unusual, but this is the method of support.

    In fact, it is not as technical as it seems. You will need some technical assistance (e.g., s/n), but only to recover and then download the ldt.

    You will need recover the such appropriate LDT file specified in the file table in the document that I've referenced.
    You can then open it with any text editor (such as wordpad or Notepad).

    Here is an example of the type of text you will see (using for example cost center):

    BEGIN HXC_LAYOUT_COMPONENTS 'XXCU Exception Timecard Layout - cost center'
    OWNER = 'ORACLE '.
    COMPONENT_VALUE = "COSTCENTER.
    REGION_CODE = "HXC_CUI_TIMECARD."
    REGION_CODE_APP_SHORT_NAME = "HXC".
    ATTRIBUTE_CODE = 'HXC_TIMECARD_COST_CENTER '.
    ATTRIBUTE_CODE_APP_SHORT_NAME = "HXC".
    SEQUENCE = "210".
    COMPONENT_DEFINITION = "CHOICE_LIST".
    RENDER_TYPE = 'WEB '.
    PARENT_COMPONENT =
    * "' Exception Timecard Layout - day laid Building blocks for matrix worker scorecard" * "
    LAST_UPDATE_DATE = ' 23/05/2004.

    BEGIN HXC_LAYOUT_COMP_QUALIFIERS 'XXCU Exception Timecard Layout - cost center'
    OWNER = 'ORACLE '.
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE_CATEGORY = "CHOICE_LIST".
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE1 = "Custom9VO".
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE4 = "N".
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE8 = "DisplayValue".
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE9 = '#NUMBER value '.
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE10 =
    * "Oracle.apps.HxC.selfservice.Timecard.Server.Custom9VO" *.
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE11 = "TIMECARD_BIND_END_DATE" TIMECARD_BIND_END_DATE ".
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE17 = "OraTableCellText".
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE20 = "N".
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE21 = 'Y '.
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE22 = 'L '.
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE25 = "FLEX".
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE26 = "Dummy economic context."
    QUALIFIER_ATTRIBUTE27 = "Attribut3".
    LAST_UPDATE_DATE = ' 23/05/2004.
    END HXC_LAYOUT_COMP_QUALIFIERS

    END HXC_LAYOUT_COMPONENTS

    To delete this article, just comment it by putting "#" (hash space) in front of each line between HXC_LAYOUT_COMPONENTS BEGIN and END HXC_LAYOUT_COMPONENTS

    Then save your file and get the DBA to uplaod again.

    You must make sure that filename ldt so the section at the top of the file with the entry
    BEGIN HXC_LAYOUTS "XXCU TIM EXCEPTION-SCORE CARD" "HXC".
    OWNER = 'ORACLE '.
    DISPLAY_LAYOUT_NAME = "XXCU Tim Exception Layout - time sheet entry Page"

    have a unique name. You will see that my example has 'TIM' in the name of layout and display name.

    Make you the ldt file name unique so that it does not replace the Oracle version seeded and you're doing the DISPLAY_NAME and LAYOUT_NAME usinque because that's what you will see in your list of page layouts in the preferences in OTL. If you do not change the names, you will see duplicates and won't know which is yours!

    It's about as technical as it gets.

    Good luck. I hope that answers the question further.

  • Disable the touch screen scrolling

    I found a ton of results describing how to force Firefox to scroll as a touchscreen. Let me start by being clear: I want to do the opposite of this. I have a page that key scrolls correctly, but this causes problems.

    I use a web page that submits electronic contracts, and they require signatures; I access this page from a Dell XPS 18 tablet. The problem is that the signature field is extremely temperamental. If you try to connect, the page scrolls, and the signature field remains empty. If you type just as it should be and then start to sign later, you can select the field, and it works. The problem is that it is so capricious, it took me several minutes to get the idea of the right button/timing of the thing. This does not work for clients. If I plug a conventional mouse, it works as it should; Click and drag the points highlights text, rather than scrolling and click and drag in the signature box signs.

    I use Firefox for this task because of its high degree of customization; I could (pretty simple) to make everything display exactly as I wanted. On that note, I hope that there is a way to disable the touch scrolling. I tried to use the clamp and slide the module to subvert its own destination, but it does not seem an option to do this. If someone can point me in the direction of a parameter or add-on that can do this, I'll be very grateful. Ideally, I would like to disable on this page in particular only, but disable overall would be as well.

    Since the submission of my original post, I spent a lot of time delving into everything: config with nothing else than an incomplete article knowledge base to guide me, and after losing a ton of time to play with the mousewheel settings, I discovered gestures.enable_single_finger_input, set it to false and voila! Problem solved. If there is never anyone trying to accomplish this for a reason, I hope that you find it useful.
