Cannot disable touchpad on HP G60-243CL

I want to disable the touchpad on my G60-243CL because I almost always use an external mouse. However, the touchpad continues to work when I press the touchpad on/off button. The only thing that happens is that the touchpad light switches from white to amber and vice versa when I press the button. The touchpad continues to work just as before.
Anyone know how to solve this strange problem? I find it odd that the touchpad doesn't turn off even when I press the touchpad on/off button, which is supposed to affect the hardware directly and override software settings.

Ok, so I found the solution to making the button work. (At least, for Windows 7 owners.) First, you have to go into start, then type mouse into your search box. You should see an option that says change mouse settings. Click on it. From there, click the hardware tab. Click on the mouse device you're having problems with. From there, click the Properties button near the lower right-hand corner of the window. A new window should pop up. In the new window, click the Driver tab. Now, click Update Driver. Then click "Search Automatically for Updated Driver Software". After a few minutes, the update will complete, and you will be prompted to restart your computer. After that, it should work just fine.

  • Cannot disable touchpad

    Just got new yoga thinkpad ultrabook at work and i cannot turn off the touchpad. 
    the f6 trick doesnt work and i tried every combo of FN keys to be sure. IT installed the thinkpad software that gives you al the options in mouse properties but there is no button to turn off the touch pad. closest i can come is "use trackpoint only" and even then, if you press down on the pad it clicks. i was able to uncheck most boxes so most of the incidental issues while typing go away but i still do rest my palms on there and i have issues. i'm convinced its some kind of driver issue but maybe not? driver is synaptics 18.0.7.103 under synaptics device properties
    under device manager the only thing is synaptics pointing device and no option to disable it even when IT was on as admin.

  • In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. How I can disable it?

    Hello, In Lion 10.7.x I cannot disable the Lock documents for 2 weeks in Time Machine! Thus it prevents to change anything else like the system preferences or other settings. All is locked. How I can disable it?

    Do you mean the check box isn't enabled?
    Or you remove the check but it doesn't "stick"?
    Or you remove the box but documents are stil getting locked?
    That setting doesn't apply to other things in System Preferences, just apps that support AutoSave and Versions.  If you're having a problem with System Prefs, please clarify exactly what.

  • I cannot disable the full keyboard  navigation

    Hello I have quite a problem.
    As it says above, I cannot disable the full keyboard navigation option, whenever I try to, it re-activates itself in the preferences, even if I just change tabs and return within the preferences.
    Furthermore, the keys seem to activate oddly, as I do not know of any shortcuts bound to the S key (JUST the s key), which commonly causes Itunes to skip forward a track in whatever playlist I am playing.
    I have tried changing the other preferences, and I can change them with no difficulties, it is just the Keyboard navigation that is giving me problems.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    On second thought... The help article cor-el linked mentions that Firefox may prompt you every time if the file is sent with the disposition:attachment header, i.e., forced save. You can bypass that problem (change disposition:attachment to disposition:inline) using the Inline Disposition extension. It has been around for a while, but I haven't tried it myself: [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/inlinedisposition/]. Maybe that's what you need for Gmail.

    DBMS/driver you're using doesn't implement the transactional calls/behavior that
    are required for managing EJB transactions. If you can write a small standalone
    java program that just gets a JDBC connection to your database, then calls setAutoCommit(false),
    then does a few updates, then calls Conenction.commit(), then there may be a weblogic problem,
    but if your simple program gets the same error, you need a transactionally capable DBMS.

  • Cannot disable a mailbox in Exchange 2013 CU6!?!?!?!

    I cannot disable a mailbox in Exchange 2013 CU6. I get the following error:
    Anyone seen this error? As you know, I just want to remove the Exchange attributes from the user object in Active Directory. Of course, deleting the user object works just fine but don't want to go that route. 

    I tried with the EMS (Powershell) and I still get an error:
    [PS] C:\>disable-mailbox [email protected]

    Are you sure you want to perform this action?
    Disabling mailbox "[email protected]" will remove the Exchange properties from the Active Directory user object and mark the mailbox in the database for removal. If the mailbox has an archive or remote archive, the archive will also
    be 
    marked for removal. In the case of remote archives, this action is permanent. You can't reconnect this user to the remote archive again.

  • Cannot disable the tax-only calculation in a AR Credit Notes document

    Hello,
    When trying to raise a tax only credit the following error message appears "Cannot disable the tax-only calculation in a AR Credit Notes document that was based on another document"
    I have two lines specified in the AR Credit Note screen both with a tick under the 'Tax only' column.
    Would anyone be able to advise?
    Regards,

    Just to confirm you there is no option for this. If you have created the invoice(base document) for that then you cant change it in target document..
    Other wise you can do one thing while copying it in target doc. just select customize option in copy from--> draw document wizard & select the right items you want.
    Regards.

  • Cannot disable Homes: Enable Virtual Share Points

    Hello,
    We just installed 10.5 server this morning, and many things seem to be a big improvement-- e.g., the new version of Samba (3.0.25) now allows AD transitive trust users to connect, whereas 10.4's Samba (3.0.10) did not. But the problem now is: we cannot disable the virtual share points for homedirs on Samba. In Server Admin, if you uncheck the checkbox and hit "Apply", the GUI rechecks it.
    10.4 Server has this same configuration option, and it works as expected. I did a little investigation with the serveradmin command-line tool on our Leopard machine, and this tool exhibits the same problem. For example:
    floydpepper:/ admin$ sudo serveradmin settings smb:adminCommands:homes = no
    Password:
    smb:adminCommands:homes = yes
    For reference, we are set up as a Domain Member for Active Directory. We do not have any schema additions (for Mac stuff, anyway).
    I suspect that maybe there's some configuration option further up that supercedes this, and that's why Server Admin rechecks the checkbox. My guess was that maybe Directory Services was overlaying an attribute on top of AD information. And I see that if I use dscl and look at the attributes for my user in AD, there is indeed an attribute for home folders that clearly does not exist in the AD itself: "NFSHomeDirectory" which is set to /Users/[myusername]
    When I go back and us dscl to lookup the same thing in Tiger Server, Directory Services also appends the NFSHomeDirectory attribute, but without the same side-effect. So I'm probably mistaken that that is the cause.
    Anyone have any pointers? This looks an awful lot like a bug to me.
    Thanks,
    -b
    P.S. I also did have a look at where in smb.conf this is being set-- it is being put in an include'd smb.conf that is stored in /var/run. If I comment out the \[homes\] section, and restart Samba, that /var/run/smb.conf is overwritten with a new autogenerated version. I would just wipe that section out, lock the file, and restart Samba, but I really do want our administrators to be able to use the GUI tools. Otherwise, I would just be using Samba on Linux.

    I was able to "fix" the issue with an ugly workaround by modifying /etc/smb.conf and adding certain values to the [[homes]] share that render it ineffective. I added the following to /etc/smb.conf:
    ; Site-specific parameters can be added below this comment.
    ; END required configuration.
    ; Hack to disable virtual homes
    [[homes]]
    path = /dev/null
    valid users = root
    ; END hack
    With these values added to [[homes]], it is only available to the root user, and even then it would go nowhere. I debugged the issue to the point where it appears that the synchronize-preferences tool (/usr/libexec/samba/synchronize-preferences) ignores user settings for disabling virtual homes. I sent so far as to modify the system default in /System/Library/CoreServices/SmbFileServer.bundle/Resources/ServerDefaults.plis t to see if it was a simple case of default settings overriding user settings, but that also had no effect on the configuration that synchronize-preferences created in /var/db/smb.conf
    I hope this helps you all out.

  • Cannot disable trackpad zooming??

    Am I correct in understanding I cannot disable trackpad zooming on my MacBook Pro? It's getting very annoying scrolling webpages and instead having the text size grow or shrink. Why is this not a feature the user has control over?
    After all the issues I've been having over the last 3 weeks with my 3G iPhone, I shoulda thought a little longer about getting an Apple laptop.
    Message was edited by: johnnycat99

    Dear Apple,
    PLEASE fix this. We aren't all using iPhoto all day long.
    I've never seen something even CLOSE to as irritating as having things constantly getting expanded or contracted in size.
    Better yet. Just bring the button back. It really isn't all that wonderful to have no button. There is no benefit from it (other than aesthetics) and it's created this new "problem" that never existed before.
    Somebody get the Espresso away from Johnny Ive. I think the new trackpad was done just for the sake of change...no real benefit, just a "fun" new problem.

  • Cannot disable spotlight - endlessly indexing

    Hello all,
    I cannot disable spotlight - it is endlessly indexing.  I have dropped the main drive into Provacy under Spotlight.  I have dropped my other 3 drives there as well.  I have taken them out and reurned them many times - no change.  I repaired disk permissions many times - no change.  I downloaded and installed the 10.6.8 Combo update - no change.  It keeps indexing and says: Indexing _____________'s Mac Pro. And the estimated time is not there - just that barber pole.  And I believe it is affecting my applications - I am having major problems with Avid's Pro Tools 9.0.6.
    Is there anything else that I can try?  I do own Spotless but I stopped using it over a year ago - it didn't seem to do anything more than what I could do using the Privacy option.  It it possible that Spotless might be able to do something that I cannot?
    Any ideas would be welcome.

    Maybe some file is corrupt in such a way to hang up spotlight.  Is it possible for you to run with just your boot drive with the other 3 drives physically removed from the machine?  See if it loops that way.  If so something may be going on with the boot drive.  If not, start adding the removed drives back one-by-one until it gets caught in the loop again. 
    If this method works at least you can narrow it down to a specific drive.  Of course that won't tell you what the problem is on that drive but you at least have a single drive to concentrate on as opposed to 4 of them.
    Since you already tried adding these drives to privacy I am not going to suggest the mdutil command to erase the indices (-E) or flag for no indices (-i).  I don't think it will change anything and of course won't resolve why it is looping.
    Also note that this problem is not unique.  Look at the right side of this page for More Like This.

  • Cannot Disable Correct Spelling Automatically

    I cannot disable the Correct Spelling Automatically feature.  Rather, I can, but once I close and reopen the application it will be reenabled.  I first noticed the issue when I upgraded from Trillian 1.2.20 to 1.2.40, but I just tested this in TextEdit and the issue exists there as well.

    Philmac88 wrote:

    There are two settings for it.
    One is in Edit > Spelling and Grammar. The other in TextEdit > Preferences > Options.
    If you turn off the former and quit, it will be re-enabled when you open TextEdit again.
    If you turn off the latter and quit, both should be disabled when you open TextEdit again.
    Is this the behaviour you see?
