Turn off the tap to click on Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista
Can someone tell me how to disable "tap to click" on the touchpad of my laptop?
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista. It's the standard touchpad I mind, it has not been upgraded.
Other forums have suggested to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse, but once I'm there, I only "buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware". There is no option to disable "Tap to click" referred to one of them.
I've updated all the drivers - Windows tells me I have the latest version, if this doesn't fix the problem.
My hands are too big to type without hitting the touchpad! So frustrating. I accidentally moved my slider three times during the composition of this post. Someone help me please! That's four times now.
I thought about it!
Under computer > C: > drivers > entry > R176423, I ran DPInst. He installed the Dell Touchpad option in my taskbar to bottom left. After the reboot, I was able to open a more in-depth version of my touchpad, where I could uncheck "Tap to click". _ Yes!
Thanks for all your help, man. I really appreciate it. It's really a positive manifestation of the human condition when the volunteers their expertise selflessly to help others. Keep up the good work, and I hope that this thread will stay up to help someone else in the future.

Turn off the tap to click?
I just got a new computer and have forgotten how to turn off the tap for a characteristic click. I tried searching the forum, but could not get the search results, that I needed. If someone knows the answer or could it link me to a thread with the answer I would be very grateful :)
On another note, is there a way to change the amount of pressure needed to "roulette" on the touchpad?
The options to configure your touchpad will be in Control Panel > mouse > Touchpad. Some touchpad drivers have their own control panel applet (i.e., Synaptics). MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

Just got my Alienware 13. Like all cell phones, it comes with tap to click enabled on the touchpad, I hate. There is no Synaptics control panel where I can change my settings, and the Alienware 13 does not appear to be the "Alien Touch" application, so I don't have a way to disable the behavior of tap to click.
When I look in Device Manager, I see two entries "HID-compliant mouse" and a "PS/2 compatible mouse", and all three use Microsoft drivers; not the driver of the Synaptic touchpad.
How can I get the ability to change the settings of my touchpad?
Thanks for the reply. My computer doesn't have icons or panels of control for the touchpad anywhere in Windows 8 desktop environment - even after installing synaptic drivers from Dell Alienware 13 downloads page.
I have concluded that my laptop doesn't have the same microcontroller touchpad that seem more other 13 s Alienware. Maybe it's a recent change on motherboards? I even don't think that it is a part of Synaptics at this stage.
In any case, I finally able to disable tap-to-click using an OS device that is only available in the environment of Windows 8 'Modern/Metro". I have documented my solution here.

How to turn off the tap to click the trackpad for Windows 8?
I had windows 8 for some time and disabling tap-to-click is a priority for me, but I can't understand how do. This is not the same as windows 7 or vista. When I type, sometimes my hand hits the button on my laptop keyboard and it moves where I type and live. Need help please, I want to disable the stupid tap to click on feature because I use a USB mouse.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! My laptop has just downloaded 8.1 without my permission and I got the touchpad by clicking. It drove me crazy. I've been everywhere where I didn't want to be. Right-click on the icon for the touchpad worked perfectly after nearly an hour doing it through the control panel!

I tried to restore my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop to the factory setting. I pressed F8 then selected repair and then Dell Factory Image Restore. Used to format hard drive. He formatted the hard drive and then he restored the system. Suddenly, a small window pops up without any details, but saying "error". I restarted the laptop, it entered into Startup Repair mode. But even once showed error "operating system version is incompatible with startup repair". I don't have my windows CD/DVD. Although the windows sticker is still on the laptop. Please advise me how to install the system on the laptop so I can use the same. Please note that I am in Gurgaon (India).
Thank youHello
Because the computer is located in a no start situation and you don't have the installation disc, it is best to contact the manufacturer for assistance.

Mousepad for sensertive I prefer to use a mouse, I've typed and lost a lot of info, and it becomes a bit boring

I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off.
I have a DELL Inspiron 6400 running Windows Vista. The backlight turns off when the charger is plugged after about 10 to 15 minutes. If I shine a torch on the screen, I see about the display is always. If I select change user from the menu start or stop / restart the machine, the backlight turns on and will last for another 10 to 15 minutes. I tried in safe mode and the same thing happens. Can someone help me with this problem?
It could be the inverter Board or the backlight itself on the way to the outside. Whatever it is, it is definitely a hardware problem and it will take a good repairman to fix. You can contact Dell and see what they would charge to fix this, just to see if it would be more cost-effective to buy a new laptop or have it repaired. Because it is 5 years since it is manufacturing, you can be better to save your pennies for a new :-(

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with Vista Home Version that was working fine until recently. Now, whenever I try to open a file or use whatever it is, it seems stuck with the ROAR - once an hourglass on the old computer - and nothing happens. The only way I can get out of everything I tried to do is to turn off and restart. Next, I get the message that he has was not shut down normally, etc., and it takes forever to get up. Then the whole again. I really want to this time just download all my files on an external hard drive so I can get a new computer, but it will not let me even copy / paste a single file without getting bogged down. Control Alt Delete even let me get into the Task Manager to stop the programme of work. Please help me.
Hi MZ1_6789,
