Power selection tap on ASUS Windows 8 Touchpad off

The touchpad on my laptop ASUS Tablet thingy never had this function where you type anywhere on the touch pad to select. I've always had to use the left corner, I couldn't just tap.

But now, for some reason stupid, he had decided to activate the tapping function and it is the biggest pain. While I type I'll brush the pad and it will change the line as I type, etc.

Then I tried to turn it off. I went in the mouse settings in the settings and control panel and neither seem to have an option to turn it off. I also looked at a program called ASUS smart move that supposedly control my mouse, but according to her carpet than the 'tap to select' function is not turned on, which is funny, because I closed the stupid program by pressing the close button. :/

Brushing and change the line that you type on are different from just the "tap to click" option, because the shot is originally actually drag the needle.

But there is no setting in Windows for this, the only options will be in the driver from the manufacturer (the Asus gesture control you already found).  But still, he shouldn't tap to click that is the cause.  Try to test, see if you are able to click on a link by typing on the upper area of the touchpad (rather than clicking on the left click on the corner).

If it is in fact always a click sending, contact Asus (Microsoft may not help, they do not build or maintain the touchpad software).

You can also lower the sensitivity of the touchpad by using the softare Asus.  Or a low-tech solution is to put a business card on the touchpad, so she is blunt and not so sensitive.

  • I do not understand this statement "It is a good idea to keep track that uses a bunch of Audio channels selected in the arrange window, unless you actively play or record on a software Instrument."

    It's a good idea to keep track that uses a bunch of Audio channels selected in the arrange window, unless you actively play or record on a software Instrument.

    Which no longer applies in Logic Pro X 10.2.3. In old versions of logic, selecting a range with a software instrument automatically would make this instrument in "Live" mode, which means that the instrument has begun to transform any MIDI in sound with a minimum of delay. This direct mode becomes an instrument need CPU power (on a single processor) and peut overload the audio engine. It is a waste of CPU if there is no direct game. Then select an audio track would ensure that No instrument is in direct mode. Now (LPX 10.2.2 or more) in direct mode can be turned on or off on a track, chosen or not - it is the R button on the track header.

    I installed DPM 2010 in the edition of Windows 2008R2 STD. I am using the IBMTS3100 tape library. Windows detects the tape device but media changer appears as unknown medium changer. I cannot see the details of the driver for the medium changer and means 'no driver file is required or have been loaded for the device. When I try to update the driver, it says already installed the latest driver for the device.

    Now the question is DPM does not detect the slots in the tape library.

    I have installed Symantec Backu Exec in the same server and everything works fine.

    Thank you! I tried what you mentioned, nothing has worked... I plugged a usb keyboard and it works, so I'm starting to believe it could be a motherboard problem. I finally got windows xp pro installed, no conflicts in Device Manager, all the drivers are installed and now running smooth. I removed the keyboard, and re-set, all connections look good, but still not good. the synaptics keyboard works fine and both rt & lft click the buttons. I pulled the ram to inspect it, it's the right speed, ddr2700, and after running for an hour, it was cold to the touch! I'll try to get a new keyboard and replace it, their pretty good work, if still not good it becomes pieces on ebay... lol tx again... Marty

    a. press the Windows key + X.
    b. open Prompt (Admin) command.
    c. type dism.exe / online/cleanup-image /restorehealth and press ENTER.
     
    Method 2:
    I suggest to refer to the section my computer crashes or freezes when it installs the updates and run the fixit the link:
    Crashes Windows or freezes

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

     
    Method 3:
    Check out the link and follow the steps in the article:
    Error: Failed to setup of the Windows updates. Restoration of the changes. Do not turn off your computer when you try to install Windows updates

    Hello

    Please contact Microsoft Community.

    This problem may occur if a US-Dvorak keyboard is listed in text Services. The standard keyboard is US, and this must be the only keyboard listed in the Services section of the text of the control panel.

    To resolve this issue, remove all instances of keyboards other than the standard American keyboard. To do this, follow these steps.

    NOTE: If you press NumLock on the keyboard of some laptops, which makes different characters available when you type. For the keyboard back to its standard functionality, press FUNCTION + NumLock.

    1. Click Start, type Control Panel , and then click Control Panel.
    2. Double-click regional and Language Options.
    3. Click the languages tab.
    4. In the pane of input languages and text Services , click Details.
    5. In the component Services installed , click on any listed keyboard other than US, and then click Remove.
    6. When the confirmation message appears, click Yes.
    7. Repeat step 5 until all the keyboards listed except US are removed.

    You are running Microsoft Security Essentials, AVG, Norton or McAfee? If you run one of those, she didn't have Defender. It's good, not bad. Not only is there potential conflict, but there is no reason to have both; basically to have something very similar to the built-in Defender, and both running at a time will be your performance level and create the risk of problems that are contrary to the other.
