    I have a laptop G72.

    Click on the link to find the steps below involved in disabling the Touchpad

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03922412

    The touchpad is controlled by the properties of the mouse (in the directional pad) where there is a tab "HP Control Zone settings" and 2 "buttons":

    1 activate the area of control HP and 2. Disable the HP control area

    There is also a section of icon of the window that allows a system tray icon which is a shortcut to get to the ability to turn on/off

    Hope this helps, for other queries in response to the post and feel free to join us again.

    Hi dove2k,

     

    Welcome to Microsoft Answers Forums.

    You will need to enable the touchpad on the laptop itself.

    Find the area of the touch pad, you will find a button to enable or disable the touchpad.

    If the step above doesn't, try this step.

    Go to control panel > mouse > device settings tab
    Click (or to disable)

    Notes:
    On some models, there is a keyboard shortcut to enable or disable the touchpad. For example, ACER, just do Fn + F7.
    You can click on Reset device if none of these solutions work.

    If you still can't touch pad to work, you will need to contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer for more information.

  • How to disable the TOUCH PAD

    I have a laptop of HP G42-475DX 62 bits. How can I deactivate my Touch Pad and just use the mouse? My problem is that while I'm typing touch pad cursor must jump into a paragraph & when I look up all of my text that I wrote is so a total mess, phrases running together etc. I would like to disable the Touch Pad.

    Facilities to turn the TouchPad depends on whether the driver supports.

    Go to the Control Panel, select mouse. If there is a device settings tab, you should be able to disable the TouchPad.

    Or see page 24 of the manual http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c02100456.pdf

  • Portege R930 - Touch Pad on / off button does not work

    Hello

    R930 nine (PT330A) and a minor but annoying thing... the small button above the touch pad and below the space bar for the Touch Pad on / off does not work. I can't find the configuration options for this anywhere. Fn + F9 works very well.

    Not much, but I like things to work! And this button would be very convenient for a quick switch.

    Thank you
    Mark

    Can you use the Toshiba? I think you should have the button eco and presentation on this machine.

    Check please if you can enable/disable these keys in the HWsetup tool.
    I don t have Win8 machine, but I think that all these buttons can be enabled/disabled.

    Please, check and send comments.

  • Portege R700 - Touch Pad, ecoUtility and presentation of the key does not

    Hello

    I got a Portege R700 with Windows 7 64 bit.
    This machine starts very slowly after the log in user mode only.
    The system is waiting for 1 to 2 Minutes before you can work. In administrator mode erverything is fine and fast.

    Thus our directors thought it might be the Toshiba Software and a lot has been disabled or uninstalled.
    Because this did not help and because I thought that it migt be cause of Kaspersky, I started to reinstalled and update the software from Toshiba. Most of it works now. Shortcut keys does not work, then I start TfcRst.exe via autostart now, even he would somehow it would be better in 'systemecommencent '.

    But still some keys do not work. The Tablet touch power switch, just above the touch pad does not work.
    The Fn F9 works. And the two keys to the right upper corner (ecoUtility/off button and the presentation-Key) do not work. In all three major, I get a pop up saying "this function not taken in charge.

    Anyone has any idea of this?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Why you n t try to restore the operating system back to the same state until the administrator has removed or uninstalled the Toshiba Software?

    Generally speaking the VAP (value added package) controls the multimedia keys.
    Also the FN keys require the VAP and Flash memory card Support utility.

    Hello!

    I have a HP pavilion g6-2240sq with windows 7.

    In the instructions that came with the laptop it says touch quickly 2 times a circle in the top left of the touch pad to turn it off. I tried, but it does not work.

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you!

    It seems that you can run Windows 7 on a system designed for Windows 8 and you run without drivers TouchPad.

    HP Pavilion g6-2240sq Notebook PC Drivers & Downloads

    This does not explain it.  No worries.  This is not my personal specialty;  I have a couple of options for you.  If none of them does not work because the pilots have not features you need or the drivers don't work well on your machine, we can ask for additional help.

    Options:

    ===========================================================================

    • You might try your driver for Windows 8 running in compatibility mode.  Lot of software works in compatibility mode - if the driver for the TouchPad will be happy if this is something you can try or no--a personal choice.

    Download and do not install the device:

    How to install and run the drivers / software Compatilbility Mode:

    Try this Windows 7 driver for a similar computer of the g6:

    • Download and press twice on the installation package
    • Restart / reboot the computer after installation

    For something like this, it is best if you have an external mouse attached - it's common sense and not because of something flakey on occur.  It's like the race without a disc of recovery and personal backups: you can get away with it for years and then ONE day, Poof - here you are with a blank screen and no way to recover your data.

  • Pro L10: After using a wireless mouse, the touch pad has stopped working

    Pro L10. After using a wireless mouse, the built in touch pad has stopped working properly. At the start of the keypad icon touch shows and the touchpad works intermittently, after a few minuets, the icon disappears and the touch pad stops working. In the control panel / mouse & or device drive I can how the program works, then disappears.

    I deleted the software and reinstalled nothing doesn't. In some cases, I get a message that a pointer is on.

    Can you help me?

    Hello

    It seems that the wireless mouse or mouse wireless drivers/software has a bad influence on the touchpad.
    I put t have a good solution for this problem. Well, you can consult the page of the Toshiba driver for latest driver updates. If the updates doesn't solve this problem I suggest to use either the mouse wireless and disable the touchpad with FN + F9 key combination or use a regular USB mouse.
    I guess that you are having regular problems with a USB mouse.

    Hello

    With regard to the problem of keyboard:

    From my point of view of the few sounds of keyboard described as a material problem internal related dysfunction... probably in order to solve this problem, the keyboard should be replaced... just to make sure that your internal keyboard is affected, please join the external USB keyboard and check if it works properly.
    If you see any problems, the problem is no doubt by a malfunctioning internal keyboard and as mentioned earlier, you will need to replace the keyboard.

    Regarding the touchpad:

    I'm not sure if the two issues are interrelated, but the touchpad can be disabled by using the function keys... I recommend you to check this... (function key details are also in the user manual)... you can also try reinstalling the touchpad drive.

    Tip: this forum contains many discussions about similar problems... so I recommend you to read the recommendations posted in this community.
