Disable Touch Pad, WIN7, 15t or 17t

After reading several posts:
I don't see "touch pad settings" under mouse in control panel.
I want to either:
1. disable the touch pad so that it stays disabled, even on restart, or
2. employ the "touch pad disabled" when mouse installed option.
Many thanks.

B570 - Disable Touch Pad

The laptop had to be rebuilt due to issues, and since then I've been unable to disable the touch pad, which is resulting in the mouse jumping all over the screen while typing. An external mouse is used, but need the Touch Pad disabled. The rebuild does not allow this to be disabled using the F6 key. Unable to use the manual settings instructions either. How else can this be disabled? Thanks.

Disable touch pad HP ENVY 15t-j000

How to quickly disable touchpad on HP ENVY 15t-j000?
I just got one of the newest Haswell notebook. With older HP laptop touch pads there is a spot at the upper left corner to disable the touchpad. With the latest Synaptic touchpad on the new ENVY 15t there is no keyboard or touchpad button to disable the touchpad when you are using a mouse.
Please advice.

Hi
The touchpads on some new notebooks do not have an on/off button go to control panel The touchpad itself does not have a dot or hardware switch toturn on/off. However, you can turn this function on and off from the control panel.
Let us know how it goes!

Any fix for touch pad issue in mac book pro on windows 7?

Hi, I've recently installed windows 7 and parallels in my mac book pro. While i run windows with the parallels track pad, scrolling and right click are functioning properly. But when i logon to windows directly none of them are functioning.
Pls lemme know if there is any fix for this.
Thanks

Running Windows in parallels from the BootCamp partition messes the original installation. My experience. You will have to remove the parallels virtual machine from mac and did a complete reinstall of Windows later.It is better to keep your virtual machine separately.
This is not true. Running Bootcamped Windows from Parallels or Fusion does not impact the Bootcamp installation of Windows. It just provides a different access to the single Windows installation. Both Parallels and Fusion support this configuration and instructions for how to use Bootcamped Windows as the virtual machine's tartget operating system is included on each virtual machines's respective site.

HP Pavilion 500 series running Windows 8 not returning from sleep mode

I've just bought a Pavilion desktop 500 series running Windows 8.
When the pc goes into sleep mode, I wiggle the mouse (as usual) to re-awaken it. The screen returns, and I can see my screen saver (a rotating series of photos), and the icons on the taskbar for the items that I have open, but all the icons on my desktop have disappeared and, whilst I can move the mouse pointer around, no amount of clicking will bring anything up.
I have tried switching users (my wife shares the pc under a different user name) to see if this works, but still no change. The only thing that appears to work is to switch the computer off and back on again.

Well, contacted the weblink helpdesk, only to be told that, as they were in the USA and I in the UK, they couldn't help me and to contact the UK. This is via an 0844 number at 5p/minute. Looked up all the other (supposed) helplinks, which suggest that the user goes through a swathe of possibilities to cure the issue, without actually diagnosing the problem.
Bit the bullet and phoned the helpdesk. 22 minutes of chat later, the solutions offered were (a) return the pc to the retailer under warranty or (b) perform a systme restore which means backing up all my data (again), re-formatting the system, then re-installing all my software and data again less than two weeks since I last did it. Of course, there's no guarantee that this will actually cure the issue.
For the meantime, I've set the sleep modes on the pc and screen to "never" to see if that makes a difference......
Always good to get a premium service.

Static disabling Touch Pad & Keyboard

I have an Early 2008 15" MacBook Pro, and I live in a dry climate, and so static discharge is a problem. If it discharges on the track pad it disables the track pad and keyboard.
That does not allow me to save what I was working on, because the only way to restore them is to force quit by the power button.
I have two questions. Is there a way to restore the track pad and keyboard without a restart?
Can someone suggest a device to discharge the static. There is nothing within arms reach to dischaget the static. So far I have been lucky that no permenant damage has happened.

I've used a 3M static discharge pad for over 10 years now, both on my desktop and my wife's. They are not INexpensive, unless you deduct the costs of the damage that does NOT happen or the discomfort that does NOT happen. As I said, these things have been doing their job for a considerable time and show no signs of failure. On a desktop, just put it under your keyboard close enough to the edge of the front so that you automatically touch it before anything on the computer. Basically the same thing with your laptop. These things are easily cut with a strong pair of scissors to just about any shape or size. Just don't cut off and discord (no pun intended) the part that has a wire that you connect to a grounded outlet, usually the screw holding the cover is also grounded on properly installed outlets. It would be wise, of course, to be sure, and correct that first! I bought mine at a local electronics store but they are also available on-line. Just search for "static discharge pad"

Touch pad controls disappeared after update for Bootcamp windows 7

After updating Bootcamp for Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro 13" (Mid 2009), the touchpad lost its tap functionality and there, nolonger, is a touchpad tab in the Bootcamp Manager. Is there any way to reinstate the "tap to click" function?

Thanks, but what do you mean by Windows Support Software? ... the Windows 7 drivers, Windows 7 OS, or Bootcamp for Windows 7 ?

How do I add additional internal hard drives to Pavilion h8-1217c running Windows 7 Home Premium

I am stymied in my effort to utilize two recently wiped and formatted Hitachi Deskstar 500 GB SATA drives I inherited from my previous HP desktop. I have installed them in my aforementioned unit, and find that the BIOS apparently accurately identifies them, but I cannot see them in Windows. Instead, in Disk Management, a disk with twice the capacity is listed, and the system does not allow me to initialize the drives, an apparent step necessary before they can be assigned a drive letter and utilized. Upon selecting to initialize, the Disk Management program of Windows presents an Virtual Disk Manager error message saying "The system cannot find the file specified," a message the specificity of which is slightly wanting. Huh? What system? Windows? The drive? Help? BTW, this particular frustration is well documented among a number of users on the internet. Why has no answer been provided yet?

Don't know what you mean about a link indicating this is an issue with the HP Pavilion h8-1217c...I posted that it is a general issue with a number of computers, many of them HP, wherein the error message I earlier cited came up. To answer your particular subsequent query, in Storage Options in my BIOS, it states that the SATA Emulation is AHCPI, not IDE...a setting I believe is appropriate in this case, since, as I had stated previously (I often find that I have stated, and clearly, previously) that the two additional drives I have installed in this box are Hitachi Deskstar 500GB SATA drives from a previous HP system. Both drives were wiped and reformatted by a local computer shop that was delighted to charge me $60 for that particular piece of heavy lifting, defending their bill by suggesting they woudl have to update the firmware as a matter of course. Upon getting the drives, they freely confessed that, of course, it was NOT necessary to upgrade firmware. I di-grease! To reiterate, both drives are recognized by the BIOS, with their appropriate ser no listed. It is in Windows 7 where the problem seems to crop up. Of course, as a Windows 7 issue, HP is supposed to support it. An earlier post in this forum...a reply to me...gave me a link to instructions on how to disengage the cage that holds the drives. I have, indicated by my posts, moved WELL beyond that point. Is anyone familiar with my issue...again, it is this...with the above stated conditions, when in Disk Management in Windows, with the drives recognized in Device Manager as one drive listed as "Volume_000," I am faced with an immediate pop up box telling me to initialize the drive, either as MBR or GPT. I chose MBR, though it matters not which I choose, since upon clicking OK, another popup box identified as "Virtual Disk Manager" tells me that "The system cannot find the file specified."
This delightful cul de sac is frequently cited on the internet, with no clear answer as to a resolution anywhere that I could find. Can someone help with this. This ought not to be so difficult, nor should HP be sending me around the bend, making ludicrous statements like "you should not be adding internal drives to your computer" or "we cannot cover this issue unless you pay a fee!" A FEE!! I just bought this system within the last three months. I have purchased several desktop and laptop systems and their accessories from this computer giant in the last 7 years! Do they give a flying-you-know-what about their customers?

Firefox 7 is slow in loading web pages (over a minute and I give up, but I walked away and they eventually loaded) and IE loads them quickly. I tried all the help solutions with no change. I disabled Norton with no change. I am running Windows 7.

When I restarted in safe mode, everything worked fine, so I disabled add-ons and plug-ins one at a time but couldn't find any of them that were causing the problem.

I had the same problem and found the solution [http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=11309303#p11309303 here] here
The solution involved going to about:config and changing "network.http.max-connections" line value from 256 to 48

My HP pavilion G7 laptop running windows 8 will not turn on

I had my laptop on sleep. Could not get it to wake up, so I turned it off. Now it will not come back on. I have unplugged it plus took battery out. Left it over night. Held down the on button and hit f10, nothing... (

Hi sweetmag52,
I see that you are having some problems powering up your laptop. It is going to be hard to diagnose the problem if we can't get it to turn back on. Is the Num or Caps Lock key flashing at all? If, so how many flashes? Do you hear the fan or the hard drive start at all? How long have you had the Pavilion? What is your product number?
