Satellite A205-S5831: TouchPad tapping cannot be disabled - SOLUTION

There are several other online on the same forums, and I felt Toshiba was the best place to post the solution to the problem.

Description of the problem: cannot turn off the tap of the mouse to click the feature of Vista. Synaptics driver has the opportunity to turn the feature on, and outside, but it is grayed out.

Other forums suggested to uninstall and then reinstall the Synaptics driver. Get the latest Toshiba, or get the latest driver from Synaptics driver but none of this has worked for me. However, it claimed the driver Synaptics of Synaptics.com worked for him or her.

Here is my solution on 2 forums on geekstogo.com (what kind of name is that anyway?):

I had exactly the same problem and I feel obligated to post the solution I found that it would have saved me hours and maybe he will save the next person hours. I hope that everyone uses the same courtesy so forums like these are useful.

I have a solution, but first let me vent. This problem has been quite the problem more frustrating and stupid. Why anyone who knows hit want type to click? It's such a frustrating feature. In addition, why would anyone software development does not give the user the ability to disable? Synaptics touchpad old drivers for XP are 100 times better. I don't understand the lack of functionality in the new.

I checked on Toshiba.com for touchpad drivers for my satellite A205-S5831 and noticed that there is a driver Alps. I have downloaded this driver, uninstalled the driver Synaptics (uninstalled option programs and Featuers in the control panel) and installed the driver Alps. The Alps driver includes many options over the Synaptics driver does not work, including turning off the tap to click.

I hope that this solution works for others.

Info thank you for sharing this with us.

I've also noticed that Toshiba touchpad requires two different drivers. There is Synaptics driver and the other is driver Alps.

You need two drivers to get the full touchpad control.

See you soon

    Hello

    As I see that you posted several discussions on the same issues. I imagine that you are not happy because of all these issues.
    (1) what to write about BSOD? Nobody here can say with certainty why this happen. As you know, it may be because of some software pre-installed. Who knows what you have installed on your laptop? Accurate diagnosis is definitely not possible.
    (2) install all the missing drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities. Each of them should be available on the Toshiba U.S. support page.
    (3) in this regard, we can only speculate. The fact is that this model of laptop pre-installed with Windows XP Home edition and optimized operating system should work well and smoothly.
    (4) I don't know what answer you expect on this subject. Make sure that the network adapter is properly installed. All others you must clarify with network administrator in your company or your Internet service provider
    (5) no comments for this.

  • I can't install Windows XP on Satellite A205-s5831

    Hello
    I bought a new Satellite A205-s5831 laptop.
    I want to downgrade Vista to XP but I can't.
    I've been on it for 7 to 8 hours, but I couldn't do anything.

    The thing is, I can't find RAID drivers for my laptop. So I can copy it to my USB floppy.
    I downloaded the 32-bit Intel Matrix Storage Manager floppy Configuration utility for my GL960 chipset.
    I copied the files on my floppy drive, but even that did not help.

    Then, someone at - it an idea?

    THX

    The key is definitely the Intel Matrix Storage Manager.
    And you don t have no need driver RAID but SATA drivers!
    The SATA drivers are part of the Intel Matrix Storage nursery and they will work for sure!

    I noticed that sometimes drivers diskette advantage 3rd don t work as it should, and that's why you should try to create a new XP CD using the freeware tool called nLite.

    The nLite can help you to integrate the SATA driver into Windows XP and to create a new XP CD.

    PS: SP2 is important and must be also installed on the XP CD

  • How to disable the TouchPad 'tap to click' on Satellite A200 - 15L Vista

    Until mid-December, I got the Synaptics Touchpad ' tap to click on "disabled. Then it became somehow activated, the context menu item to change to gray and the properties of the mouse, etc. settings contain no reference to it. It was suggested that updates nui Windows somehow. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drivers for touchpad both directly from Synaptics and on the Toshiba site, but it did not help. Aside from using the disk recovery and reformatting what can I do?
    Toshiba Satellite A200 15 laptop (PSAE2E). Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

    Hi Juliana

    I also read on the Vista updates that affect the parameters of the touchpad for me it sound very mysterious
    I thought about the same procedure of reinstalling touchpad driver.
    But it seems this helps doesn t to get the click back features.
    I think the recovery CD would be the last resort.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A205 Vista - FN + F9 never worked to disable the touchpad

    I have a Satellite A205 running Vista. FN + F9 key never worked to disable the touchpad.

    I read that there is an option to disable the touchpad when a mouse is connected to a USB port. I don't seem to have that option.
    I have to go in Control Panel to turn entirely which is kind of a pain.

    I use a mouse Laser Bluetooth MS so there is no mouse plugged into a USB port, only the Bluetooth dongle.

    Does anyone know of an easier way to do this?

    Maybe you should check the page of the Toshiba driver we and must download and install the utility of Toshiba touchpad on / off.

  • Must disable Touchpad tapping Equium A60-173

    OK, so my father, I bought a laptop a few years and now it has forwarded to me. I am wanting to turn off tapping it on the button, but I can't find an option to do so.
    I installed a new copy of Windows XP Pro, so there may be some missing drivers that come on the recovery CD.
    I tried to find all the drivers, but I can't find my notebook anywhere. I ran the Toshiba program that is supposed to detect what laptop you have, but it came with nothing when I ran it and I also searched in the drivers on the Toshiba site section, but my laptop does not even appear in the choice of laptops.

    It is a Toshiba Equium and on the back, he said Equium A60-173 and the model number is PSA67E-00700C8J.

    So, if someone can tell me please how to disable the tapping on the touch pad that would be great. I can't disable the touchpad entirely because of course I want to control the mouse pointer.

    I saw a post that said to press Fn and F9, but has nothing, probably because I don't have the correct drivers installed.

    Any help would be great.

    Hey Buddy,

    The touchpad tapping function can be disabled in the options of the touchpad driver. FN + F9 key combination to disable the touchpad together so it s another function.

    The tapping function can be disabled if the touchpad drivers are installed. If you install Windows on a normal disc from Microsoft no drivers are installed and everything you need to install yourself. If you are using the Toshiba recovery that all disk drivers and tools are installed automatically because it contains a picture of the factory settings. Recovery disk is more comfortable.

    All the drivers and tools you need now can be downloaded here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers
    * Archive * > Equium > Equium A60 > PSA67E

    As you can see you only need to search the Archives to find the drivers ;)

  • Satellite A205-s4707: High Temperature of the touchpad and HARD drive

    Hello

    just bought a toshiba satellite A205-s4707 notebook PC series and my problem is that my touch pad becomes heat when I use to a few ours.
    Is - this normal, also my drive hard temperature reaches 135 degrees fahrenheit.

    If you can help me with my problem will appreciate

    HM, I Don t think it's a problem because your machine is not working properly, doesn´t it?

    I mean, you really have a system very powerful which is packaged in a minimum of size.

    Please compare your machine with a desktop computer and you will recognize that you have some cooling devices well less than a desktop computer with a similar performance. So, Don t worry, it's normal that a laptop gets a little warmer.

    If something begins to melt, then it s critical. :) But sometimes won´t. ;)

  • Satellite T130 - 10G Touchpad screen pointer gets stuck in random patterns

    Satellite T130 - 10G Touchpad screen pointer gets stuck in random patterns and laptop computer must be restarted to restore functionality
    The center of the causes of "touchpad button" toggle switch by pressing the touchpad pointer to enter a random State like two fingers to zoom.

    Sometimes, he'll be back to normal, but most of the time the computer should be put to sleep or restarted to restore functionality.

    a. I tried turn off all touch pad feature one item at a time and all, he still has some weird random State.
    (Did not try the impossible combination need $ to be interested but went to the 90% level)

    b. I tried disable the touch pad buttons offending and only using the mode tap the buttons and the problem still persist.

    c. Finally, tried bending the entire keyboard instead of pressing the buttons and it has also created the problem.

    This leads me to believe either the power key or flexion of the entire keyboard is originally is

    a. flexion of the touch pad causing the driver getting into a crazy State or require a recalibration.

    b. electrical connections causing the driver enter a crazy State or require a recalibration of bending.

    Note: I have reinstall the latest version of the driver.
    Also: American Toshiba support site that this problem exists in the notebooks of May.

    Also: The touchpad is too sensitive, which makes it very unusable!

    Have you tried to install the operating system and check the functionality of the touchpad with the factory settings?

    Thank you

    Of course, your laptop model is not fully supported for Windows XP Home edition.
    Another place for drivers? There's no other place where you can find the drivers for your laptop model. You have the laptop model US and it will appear on American support page only.

    What you can do is compare the material on your laptops and trying to find the similar model, but fully taken WXP supported and use these drivers.
    If you do not find the only drivers so you won't find any plan because your laptop is not supported for Windows XP Home edition.

    Yes, for an optimal working, you driver touchpad, audio driver, chipset, LAN/WLAN driver, driver video driver. S, I think, the minimum on the drivers that must be installed for optimal work.
