Shortcut to disable TouchPad no longer works

Hello

The SSD in my laptop (HP Pavilion dv7t - 6 c 00 CTO Quad Edition) just died, so I'm a new 120 GB SSD and installed a non - OEM version of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (this is because my SSD is apparently not enough great for recovery disk HP sent me - long story). These days I have been installed all necessary drivers, and just about everything works as he did weeks ago. However, there is a problem: my TouchPad is no longer can be disabled by double-clicking in the upper left corner.

I've tried three different Synaptics TouchPad drivers. Those found on the HP (v. 15.3.11.0) website, one that I get when I click on "update driver software" in Manager devices (v. 15.3.29.0), and those found on the own website of the Synaptics (v. 17.0.19). I checked "Properties of the TouchPad" for each of them, and they have not been of any help. For my current driver, however, when I click on 'settings' under 'Tapping', there is an area called 'TouchPad disable Zone settings,' which has a check box that says: "Double Tap to activate or disable the TouchPad. However, the entire area is grayed out and I can't check or uncheck the box (though, for what it's worth, it is active). I canmanually disable tab in "Mouse properties" "parameters of the TouchPad", but I'd rather just get the feature shortcut.

Any ideas?

Hey BHK6,

I guess when I tried first out different drivers, has not completely uninstall and delete the 'old' before I switched to the news. After clearing all the other versions and installation of v. 15.3.29.0, finally it worked!

Thanks for your help.

  • Touchpad no longer works after update BIOS on Satellite A500-1GL

    Hello world

    I just bought my laptop Satellite A500-1GL today. I started at the top and plays a bit (nothing serious). The touchpad worked very well at the moment.

    Then I discovered this tool to update the material and the update of the BIOS that worked without any problems. After I restarted the laptop, BIOS, loaded the default values of the installation and recorded.
    After that Windows 7 (x 64) started the touchpad no longer works...

    I downloaded the driver here and installed again once, still does not. I went into the BIOS, disabled the touchpad (I thought that maybe it's a bug...) and started again. It still does not...

    I enabled it again in the BIOS, tried to push the function + F9, but it still does not... Finally, I used the recovery and installed a Windows 7 costs.
    But unfortunately it still doesn't.

    Now, I'm out of ideas, can anyone help?
    Is there a chance to get the older version of BIOS to downgrade it?

    Thanks in advance ;)

    Hello

    It seems strange that after update Bios touchpad no longer works.

    > Is there a chance to get the older version of BIOS to downgrade it?

    To be honest, I don't know where to find. In any case, do a search on Google. Perhaps, other users of the forum can give you a link to download.
    The downgrade of the Bios is riskier upgrade procedure. So, be careful the next time...
    Advice for the future; Do not touch the running system.

    Good luck!

    Try to restart flash cards.

    After doing this press FN button several times to see if Flash Cards are still on the top of the screen.
    If you see Flash cards again use the FN + F9 key combination to activate the touch pad again.

  • Synaptics Touchpad no longer works correctly

    Hello Internet!

    Hear my fate and tremble: I recently updated my drivers from the official manufacturer website Synaptics touchpad.  Before the update I could press twice on the upper left of the touchpad to enable and disable the touchpad.  It is a convenient feature that I have grown very fond of.  However, after the update this feature no longer works!  I'm so devastated...  I really enjoyed watching the pretty light outline of my touchpad to turn to a hurt red when it has been disabled.  I suppose I could return the drivers back to their old form, but I wanted to check if anyone knew a separate fix so that I could have as well the new drivers and the old features that I loved so much.

    My model number is: A6Y49UA #ABA

    My operating system: Windows 7

    Thanks for your help, I remember you when I am the dictator of the world.

When you install the drivers of the manufacturing site, they may or may not work properly with your laptop.  Can of OEM and sometimes change a driver so that it works properly with your exact laptop.

    Hello

    I think that you should first check if the touchpad is not disabled.
    Check the FN + F9 key combination.

    If the touchpad still does not work, try reinstalling the driver for the touchpad.

  • Touchpad no longer works after upgrade to VISTA on my M105-S3084

    I recently updated my system to VISTA and since that time, my touchpad does not work. I tried to install all types of drivers, that nothing seems to work. VISTA indicated that the device works properly. All other devices work - just the touchpad.

    Any idea?

    1 million thanks!
    Axel

    Have you checked if the touchpad is not disabled?
    You can enable and disable the touchpad by using the FN + F9 key, but I don't know if it will work if you have not installed the correct drivers m.

    However, in my opinion, the touchpad does not work due to incorrect or missing drivers!

    The laptop seems to be designed for the American market, and therefore, you should use the Toshiba site to download the correct Vista drivers!

    By the way; It s always a good idea to perform a clean install an update!

    Have you checked if the touchpad has not been disabled by mistake using the FN + F9 keys?

    In most cases, this tiny option would be to neglect and in most cases, this is the reason why the touchpad does not work.

  • Mouse Touchpad no longer works correctly

    My touchpad mouse no longer works correctly.  I'm unable to double-click, even after changing the speed setting in the control panel.  In addition, items are selected when appropriate without a click. This could be a virus or a definition that has been accidentally changed?  I tried to restore to a previous point, when things were working properly and that did not help.

    Check with your PC manufacturer for support.  You may need to update your driver.

  • HP Envy 15 x 360 PC convertible: HP Envy 15 x 360 convertible PC touchpad no longer works?

    So my boyfriend for my last birthday brought me this amazing new laptop, I got it for only less than a month now, and I don't use it all day as its especially for college work and to watch TV shows from time to time. So when I pulled my touchpad is today completely insensitive and he made me a slight panic because it was a gift and I know that it was not particularly cheap. I don't know if it's something that I've physically done for her (which I doubt because it's probably onlt served approximately 8 times since I got it) or if it is a problem that occurs on a regular basis to this model?

    Help, please!

    Hi there @Chloekirkham98,

    Thank you for joining the Forums HP's Support and welcome! It is a great place to ask questions, find solutions and get help from others in the community! I read your post on the Forums of HP Support. I wanted to join you and help! I understand that your TouchPad does not work on your laptop HP ENVY 15 PC.

    Have you done all your Windows updates?

    Have you tried to connect an external mouse?

    It works very well?

    The best document I have for TouchPad problems is the use and troubleshooting of the TouchPad and ClickPad document. 

    There is a section called allowing a TouchPad and ClickPad. On some laptops, the TouchPad can be disabled by pressing a power button located near the TouchPad. Please check and make sure that it was not postponed.

    If the laptop doesn't have a power button, then you can use the properties of the mouse to check and see if you need to activate the TouchPad.

    If you click on the additional mouse settings , it should display the mouse properties page. If you go to the last tab and it says allow devices, please click on enable devices. This will set the default parameters (see examples below).

    If it does not say to activate the devices than the TouchPad that is. Please use thislink for the HP Support Assistant, if you do not already have HP Support Assistant. Simply download and run the application and it will help with the software and drivers on your system that need updated.

    Please let me know if I answered your question by clicking the "Thumbs up" if the troubleshooting in this post steps solves the problem for you please click on the button "Accept as Solution" . This will allow to the others is that present the same problem a solution also. If you need assistance, I would be more than happy to continue to help you.
