Touchpad interfere with my typing, how can I disable it?
I have a Dell Inspiron 1318 with a touchpad instead of a mouse. When I tap the touchpad wrongly detects that I touched, so it my cursor there where on the screen I wanted the pointer to go. Is there a way to disable this option?
Hi Amy,
Go to http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/driverslist.aspx?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs&hidlang=en&hidos=WW1&os=WLH&osl=EN&scanConsent=False&scanSupported=True&TabIndex=&SystemID=INSPIRON1318&catid=-1&impid=-1&typeid=-1&formatid=-1&dateid=-1 and update your Touchpad driver to the one provided on the web site (even if it seems like it is the same driver) for you model of laptop (I think I got it right mais vérifier que je n'avais pas enough your information system to be absolutely certain, and you want to be sure it is good not only for the computer, but also for the operating system version).
Once done, go to start / Control Panel / mouse and check the settings. There may be one to set the sensitivity of the touchpad, so it takes more strength to activate and this can help - which is also good he'll get without turning off completely (and then you need a mouse). In my case, also with a Dell (a different model) I could not adjust enough and ended up finding a laser wireless mouse and turned off the touchpad to solve the problem. I don't plan on using the mouse at all (and in fact, find it more convenient, because I never liked the touchpad in the first place).
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

How can I disable tapping on Satellite A210-103 with a Synaptics touchpad
Hello
How can I disable tapping an A210-103 with a Synaptics touchpad.
Tapping means to me, that when I touch the touchpad of the notebook translate under circumstances like a mouse click, on which I don't want.In the settings of the Germans, I found nothing of such "tapping."
Jürgen
Hello, Hans Juergen
Of course, you can turn off the tapping.
I assume that you want to disable this tapping and instead of tapping you want to use the two buttons on the touchpad. Am I wrong?
This can be disabled
Control Panel-> mouse-> last tab settings of the device (or similar).
There you have to choose the Synaptics TouchPad settingsThe new window should open, and you could find a lot of different details and parameters.
You must mark the second option tapping. It s from the point of view of all.
Here you uncheck the option enable tappingThat s all ;)

How can I disable the Touchpad keyboard? .
Whenever I type, my arm brushes touch pad, making the letters to jump back on the ground. How can I disable the touchpad?
Access keys did not work, but I finally found the place under control panel, mobility settings and was able to disable the touchpad. It's so irritating to try typing an email and have the arrow jump back on what I had already typed because my arm would land on the touchpad. I had it turned off once before, but after downloading an update today and restart, the touchpad was back active again. This time, I will make a note where I found the info to turn it off!

I have laptop (hp probook 4520 s), the touchpad does not work. How can I turn it back on it?
This is a question which would probably respond by HP support, because it isn't really a Windows problem.
Are you sure that the touchpad is not just turned off? Many laptops have switches, power switch, so you can rest your palm while typing one is not worry by pressing the key.
Sometimes, there is a button above the key, a key on the Ko, or some have a stain on the pavement you waiting/tap/double tap/etc. to toggle the pad.
If not, you could try to go on the site of HP and DOWNLOAD/reinstall assistance the SW for the touch pad.

From Firefox 4, it seems to have been decided that PgUp and PgDn are now buttons with which you return back between the pages. For me, this means essentially almost lose valuable information, because I actually use up and down pages, so I wonder. How can I disable this new and quite bothersome?
Please tell me that I can!
In the details of your system, I see this card installed: Macromedia Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 8.0
You also seem to have the last, although always obsolete installed namely Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5
First, click on the orange button Firefox, go to add-ons and Plugins and disable the version of Macromedia.
Then go to http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ and update it.
If the problem persists then, try running Firefox in Firefox to solve the issues in Safe Mode. If it works properly in this configuration, then one of your modules is the culprit.
