Unable to turn off touchpad

I have a Pavilion laptop g7-1260ua that pleases me very well except for a small annoyance and is the fact that I can't permanently disable the touchpad. I use a mouse and do not like the touchpad. According to the information I received, in order to disable it is to tap the upper left corner of the button. I tried it and it worked one time but finally she came back and I could not turn it off. Finally, I went to the Device Manager and disabled. It will work for awhile, but he comes back eventually. In fact when I disable it this way, it actually is not disabled completely. If I right click on properties it say that the driver works without problem. But it lights up the Tablet for a while - what is until she decides to come back.
Anyone has any idea on this? Thank you.

No one is so big that when they stoop to help a child.

WOW, you have to reinstall the whole OS just to reinstall a driver. Download driver Synaptics on the desktop and install it from there, not in a temporary folder.

ftp://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp54001-54500/sp54239.exe it comes to version 15.3.12.1 as of September 3, 2011.

Once it has finished downloading, go to control panel > programs and features. In the list uninstall the "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and restart your machine.

Click the new driver that you saved on the desktop to start the installation and reboot when it's finished.

I hope this will solve your problem.

  • Unable to turn off the Magnifier in Win7

    original title: I made every effort using all the instructions I can find to turn off the Magnifier in Win7 and none of them worked.

    I'm unable to turn off the Magnifier in Win7 and asked help available to all sources known to me. I was told to use the ease of access and uncheck Mgnifier.

    Because it did not work.
    Then I tried to use settings in the mouse - did not work.  And there are other approaches - none worked!
    I guess the Magnifier is useful for some, but for me, it's a major nuisance and I would definitely find an approach that would disable it permanently...
    E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

    I'm curious now. Do you want to say its always active and cannot be turned off, or it appears now and again when you don't want or need?

    Maybe these posts can help?

  • Re: Cannot turn off touchpad Windows 7

    I recently received an update to Windows 7 from Vista for my laptop Toshiba Satellite A350, which I loaded on the computer. The installation was according to his instructions.

    However, since this update has been installed the F - keys did not work and I was unable to disable the touchpad. I have studied this problem on the internet and tried to download the drivers for the touchpad, but also downloading value-added programs; However, none of them solved the problem.

    I can't find any for the touchpad off button either.

    You can disable Touchpad in the mouse properties too.

  • Turn off touchpad Synaptics pointing device disabler

    I have a Windows7 64 bit HP Pavilion g6-1207sa (product # A3Y69EA #ABU) that has the touchpad from Synaptics pointing device.
    Apart from hitting the touchpad maybe incorrectly (? I don't remember exact model), the touchpad is disabled [diagonal red line in Silver box]. The only method to re-enable the touchpad is to run the mouse program; then using the ctrl + tab keys to get on the synaptics pointing device settings tab and Enable.
    Is there a way to turn off this disabling so no matter what/how I treat the touchpad, it will always stay enabled?

    Hello lalithjoseph.  I understand that your touchpad keeps disabling.

    You should have a small LED light or a rectangle in the upper left corner of your keyboard.  If you double quickly, tap this box, you can enable/disable the touchpad.  This would avoid having to navigate the menus without the mouse.

    I don't know of any method to turn off the option to disable the touchpad.

    According to me, making sure that the BIOS and the touchpad drivers are up-to-date is good solutions to try.

    Here is a link to your latest BIOS.

    Here's the latest touchpad driver.

    Let me know the result.  I wish you a nice day!

    What to say?  :| I've never had any problem with a laptop off the procedure.
    I put t know if you use an original image of Toshiba and if the same question will happen if the laptop would use the Toshiba factory settings.

    I would recommend so reinstall the laptop with the recovery CD from Toshiba that came with the laptop.
    After successful installation, you should check if the same problem happens again!

    Notes; backup you data because the recovery CD formats the HARD drive!

    Good bye

  • Unable to turn off the read-only

    I tried to turn off the read-only on a folder in my Program Files (x 86) folder so I can edit a file for a game.  I tried everything I can find on the internet without success.  Here's what I did until now (I'm on an administrator with maximum permissions account):

    1. I tried to uncheck the read-only box.  Whenever I close the properties and reopen, it is checked again.

    2. I tried to run the attrib - r + s function cmd as admin, but nothing has changed

    3. I ran a chkdsk, still nothing

    4 changed property in the security properties, as well as assuring you of my account has full permissions with all of the Program Files (x 86) folder. I then tried again the first 2 steps, is always checked.

    Anything else I can try?

    What you need to do is Notepad opened by right-clicking on the Notepad icon and then selecting run as administrator.

    Then, while in Notepad, open the .ini file.

    Change it and then you will be able to save him.

  • Unable to turn off anti-aliasing in the paint bucket tool!

    Hi all! Today, I have a problem with Photoshop CS6, I don't know why it won't let me not turn off anti-aliasing in the paint bucket tool. The toolbar shows me a gray box of anti-aliasing, unverifiable:

    Photoshop Problem.jpg

    Could someone explain how to solve? It is very irritating.

    The color - indexed color Mode you cannot click on Anti Alias.

    So if you change the image in RGB or CMYK, you will then be able to use the option of anti-aliasing.

  • After a fan failure, Windows is unable to turn off the fan?

    My Dell laptop is more than a year and out of warranty, so I was pretty shocked when my brother took an air can to the exhaust port and overspun fan and caused his failure. I bought a fan of alternative qualified from Dell and installed with Arctic Silver costs. However, even with the new fan, he would never turn up. I was looking at the temperatures to pull it up and and eventually shut down the system without even a glance of the fan. I even pulled the fan back out and double checked to make sure that the fan would turn with the applied force (I am an EE, food is very fine-adjustable). He does.

    I can control the fan with a 3rd party, i8kfan program. Problem is, the driver is not signed digitally, so it occasionally fails or it shuts down randomly.

    So, how does this apply to Windows? Well, as Dell technical support doesn't help if you are no longer under warranty, they don't tell me this - here are the fan control strictly controlled windows, strictly the BIOS or a combination of both? I was wondering if the problem threw a flag in Windows or the BIOS can't disable or something. I see nothing on the fans in my BIOS (another failure on part Dells - shitty BIOS), so I hope there is something small, buried in the windows that might help.

    I have no problem using the 3rd party controls. In most cases, this works very well. But there are moments when, particularly under heavy load, the program gets a lower priority, and fan just stops. In addition, the signed drivers beyond boring thing. As a little advanced Windows user, I'd love it if it could be disabled permanently instead of having to switch off whenever I start.

    My college got hooked me with a copy of 7, but I was saving it for my office that I'm building. I think that if this is a Windows problem, I'll just reformat this thing at 7 until I get my desktop built, and if all goes well, that will fix problems with fan. Also, I think I still have the Vista disc to this thing also, that's an option. If reinstalling Windows can solve this problem, I will def do this. I don't want to waste time to reformat if it does not solve the problem.

    Thanks for the comments!

    Hi Matt k,

    Fear you must contact Dell technical support as seems to be a hardware problem.

    Actually try updating your driver and disabling the network logon.

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click

    nothing that MS is far behind the certification of drivers). Then right click on the Wifi
