Disabling touchpad envy 17 with Windows 7

The touchpad on the envy 17 is giving me fits. I'd like to disable it. I've done it on THIS computer, quite simply, in the past but a recent software update and tech support phone call/interaction may have changed that. Once located in a different place, the option for 'disable' function is greyed out. I've checked other inquiries of same or similar requests. For the record, after reasing past posts, there is NO Hardware option from the Control Panel as suggested here:Click start- Click control panel- Click Hardware and Sound- Under "Devices and Printers" click on "Mouse"- Click the "ClickPad Settings" tab- Place a check in "Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached" This process referenced also is unavailable:Control Panel > MouseSelect Clickpad settings tabTick "Disable internal ...."Click Apply then OK to get out.To get it back, untick #3 above. This is very frustrating. Please help.

Or The touchpad is controlled through the Mouse Properties (in the Control Pad) where there is a tab "HP Control Zone Settings" and 2 "buttons": 1. HP Control Zone enable2. HP Control Zone disable There is also a Tray Icon section of the window which allows a system tray icon which is a shortcut to getting to the enable/disable capability Or Click on the below shown link to find the steps involved in disabling the Touchpadhttp://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c03922412 Hope this helps, for any further queries reply to the post and feel free to join us again **Click the White Thumbs Up Button on the right to say Thanks**Make it easier for other people to find solutions by marking a Reply 'Accept as Solution' if it solves your problem.

HP Sleekbook 15 - Touchpad Synaptics with Windows 10

Hello everyone! I'll try to be as brief as possible. Yesterday I upgraded from Win 8.1 to Win 10 on my Hp Pavilion Sleekbook 15; everything seems to work pretty fine, except for the touchpad Synaptics. At first Win10 start I noticed the scrolling was inverted (Mac style), and the icon of Synaptics touchpad had disappeared from the tray. Not a big issue: I go to the settings and as usual, disable the "Inverted Scrolling" and enable the icon back to the tray. It works like a charm and I think I've sorted it out. However, after rebooting the icon disappeared again from the tray and my touchpad is inverted again. For how much I try, it always comes back to defaults after rebooting. Activating/deactivating the touchpad, as well as unistalling and re-installing updated drivers didn't solve the issue. So I open regedit, to try and edit the strings manually.The "TrayIcon" string was easy to find: value changed from "0" to "1" and the icon magically appears and stays forever in the tray. The inverted axe is driving me crazy. I couldn't find any string regarding the inverted scrolling, and the only way to change it is manually at each time I restart my laptop. Can anyone help with this? I think the only ways to solve this would be either change the correspondat string in regedit (to keep it uninverted forever like with the icon in the tray) or change something else in order to make changes memorized after rebooting. Any help is appreciated!! Thank you very much!

Quick update folks. Thanks to the link I temporary solved the issue! I've downgraded my touchpad driver, from version 19 to 18. Here's the link: http://support.hp.com/ee-en/drivers/selfservice/hp-envy-15-u300-x360-convertible-pc/7771362/model/8255118#Z7_3054ICK0K8UDA0AQC11TA930O2 Now settings remain saved after rebooting too. Thanks to all! Hopefully they'll fix it with the next update. Mike

Solid State Drive Upgrade Kit v300a with Windows 8.1 on Envy laptop

I am trying to install the Solid State Drive Upgrade Kit V300a in my new HP Envy with Windows 8.1. This upgrade was listed as an option for this model and was bought with the machine.
The doc lists OS supported, but Windows 8 is not in the list. Is Windows 8 supported?
The included disk labled "Arconis" includes ATIHO user guide pdfs and an HP-Drive-Install-Guide-1.15.13-327pm pdf. The install guide mentions using Arconis. The Arconis user guide says to run "setup" to install Acronis but there is no setup file on the disk. I have chosen the setting to display hidden files and there is nothing on the disk but pdfs. The v300a box claims that it includes Acronis Cloning Software.
How do I install this HP upgrade on my new HP laptop?

How do I disable touchpad swipe or edge gestures on Envy x2 13-j002dx ?

I find that the edge gestures on the touchpad get in the way of my productivity, so I would like to disable them. I've been able to disable these on other laptops, using an icon in the tray area. I see no such icon with this device ( Envy x2 13-j002dx )
The closest I've come is I did edit this registry setting, based on instructions I found for touchpads which use the PrecisionTouchPad (including the Surface 3), but it didn't help, even though those registry settings were present:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad]
"ScrollDirection"=dword:00000000
"EnableEdgy"=dword:00000000
"AAPThreshold"=dword:00000002
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\PrecisionTouchPad\Status]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001

So I did some looking around and it looks like there may not be independent software for the touchpad on this model. First time I've actually come across this. (Regarding disabling touchpad gestures on a Split series notebook.)
I looked in the user guide and it talks about using gestures but no way to disable or enable them. It looks like they may not be able to be disabled on this model.

HP Envy 15 Graphics Problem with Windows 8.1 (Intel and NVidia Graphics). Help!

I bought an HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j013ea about 6 months ago and I have had a major problem with the graphics that I cannot seem to solve. I think it started when I updated to Windows 8.1, even though I am not 100% certain.
I have noticed the following three problems, and I think they are related:
Some windows (such as Chrome, Skype, or even Device Manager or other windows) are very blurry compared to others.
The firefox menu window has some deformed black arrows instead of the normal ones.
When playing a game (specifically, Star Wars the Force Unleashed 2), after a while I get an error that the computer has ran out of memory. However, according to task manager, only about 50% is in use, not to mention that I have 8 GB of RAM + 2 GB graphics memory. At the same time, the computer gets rather loud (like a fan working overtime) and hot.
The laptop has both Intel and NVidia graphics, and both are enabled in Device Manager. To be honest, I have no idea which is used when, or how to check that (let me know if there is a way)
I have tried the following without success:
Uninstalling the Intel graphics driver from device manager and installing a version I downloaded from the HP website for my laptop and OS. After that, Windows would NOT BOOT, and I had to do a system restore.
Uninstalling the Intel graphics from Programs and Features, and installing 2 different versions from the Intel website. Nothing changed.
Updating Nvidia driver through GeForce Experience. Nothing changed.
Updating Intel drivers from Windows Update. Nothing changed.
Quite frankly I am not sure what the problem could be, since the graphics versions are supposed to be compatible with WIndows 8.1. I also don't get why some windows are blurry and others are not. I am thinking the computer uses only the Intel graphics and not the Nvidia (at least in the blurry windows), but even if that was the case (and it shouldn't be), I don't think I should be having this problem.
At this point, I really need help. My graphics details are:
Intel HD Graphics 4600: Driver version: 10.18.10.3412
NVidia GeForce GT 740M: Driver version: 335.23
NVidia GeForce Experience version: 1.8.2
I am attaching screenshots that show driver details and the problems.
Thank you.
Blurry Chrome:
Firefox menu problem:
Device Manager and driver windows are also blurry, both graphics are shown

I had a similar problem with a Dell laptop. I found the problem was the laptop wanted to switch between the Intel and NYIDIA video cards. It would switch to the Intel when high graphics was not required then to the NIVIDIA when high graphics was required. The laptop does this to save power when high graphics is not required but it caused problems with some applications, specifically high graphics games.
For me the solution was to disable the Intel graphics processor. You can do this by right clicking on your Wallpaper, select the NIVIDIA Control Panel, then select Set Physx Configuration. You will see a dropdown box labeled Select Physx Processor. It is set to Auto by default. This allows the switching I described. Select this dropdown box and select your NIVIDIA processor. This will prevent the laptop from switching and force it to use your NVIDIA processor exclusively.
Hope this helps.

HP Envy 700-430qe DT CTO - - - Trying to dual boot with Windows 7

HELP HELP HELP
I know how to set up double boot for several different HP computers, based mostly from what I have learned in this great forum, but this one has me stumped.
I have been trying to install Windows 7 on this computer to double boot with Windows 8.1. I have tried to set the bios up correctly, enabled legacy, disabled secure boot, disabled fast boot. I booted under UEFI to get in to GPT mode, still no luck at all.
The installation always goes all the way through the first 4 steps and through most of the 5th. After the reboot in the 5th step, it stops and can not go any further. A message appears without any error code.
I think it may be a problem in this computers UEIF settings, but I do not know if anymore of them to try.
I can use all the help you all can offer.
Thank, Brad
PS, If we ever get this to work, then I will have to ask you where to find drivers for this model, if they exist!

Hi Brad,
According to the information that you posted you have a W8 delivered PC.
If the graphics card in your PC can run in legacy mode then you should be OK.
I suggest that you use a separate HP for W7 as you will probably run into partition placement issues when you try to install W7 to the same HD. Installation to the same HD is not impossible but you will have to remove some partitions such as the recovery partition and then resize the "C" partition to make room for W7. You should be able to use Disk Management to delete partitions and resize the "C" partition.
Be sure to create the external HP recovery media as it will be needed. Backup your data to separate external media.You should also consider installing the HP diagnostics to an external flash drive.
Boot in the BIOS and set the BIOS to legacy mode and fast boot off. Save the changes on exit.
Now boot up the external recovery media (don't select the EFI media if shown) and reload your PC with W8.
If your PC boots up and runs OK then you should be good to load W7.
If you are using a separate HD for W7 then unplug the original HD. If you don't then W7 will install a boot manager to the primary HD.

Satellite C660-1CN - touchpad do not start with Windows

Hi,
I have problem with Toshiba Satellite C660-1CN PSC0QE.
Touchpad don't start with Windows 7 Home Premium.
All drivers are updated.
Bios - lastest.
After log on I need to click *twice* "FN+F9" and after this is OK until next reboot.
I tried:
several Synaptics drivers - no change.
reinstall Windows - no change.
Windows XP mini from Hiren - no working.
BIOS defaults - no change
After I installed "toshiba value added package" I can't turn on touchpad at all.

Hi
Did you notice a difference while external USB mouse is connected or disconnected?
The point is that you can disable the touchpad automatically when external USB pointing device (mouse) is connected to the notebook.
This option can be found in +Control panel -> mouse+
In +control panel -> mouse -> last tab (Device settings)+ you can find all other options related to touchpad

Disable on/off control touchpad Envy

I have an HP Envy with Synaptics touchpad. The touchpad has an annoying feature located in the upper left corner that turns the keypad off with a tap, on with another tap. I use the keypad too frequently to have it constantly freezing up from misplaced taps. HP users guide used to have the method for turning off the feature. Now, five months after I fully read the guide and turned it off once, that feature has been removed from the guide. Anyone know how to turn this off? And why would they update the guide and leave this instruction out (sorry, retorical question...)

The enable/disable double-tap feature can typically be disabled in the mouse settings.
Go to Start, search for Mouse, and open this category under Control Panel.
Click Device Settings.
Click the Settings button.
Highlight Tapping and click the gear icon to the right of it.
Here, there should be a checkbox for this feature.

No real LEFT klick on Touchpad with windows 7 / 8 on a mid 2012 Macbook Pro

hello Apple-user.
i installed bootcamp 5.1 on my macbook pro (mid 2012) for a Dualboot with Windows 7 or 8 (with both the same problem).
Everything works under windows except for one Thing : the Mousepad.
On the internet you can find thousands of amounts on the right button but non for the LEFT button.
First Thing : i hate tapping!
I will KLICK real on by the left / right Corner.
With tapping work the left and right klick, but not with the real klick on the Corner.
The right klick will work perfectly on the right Corner.
The left klick will work only when i have one finger on the Touchpad so i Need 2! fingers to make a real left klick.
Left klick with one finger only works by tapping.
On OS-X all work fine so that you can be sure that the Hardware(touchpad) is ok.
regards Andy

Hello
first, It was never about the right click, but only the left click.
The right klick is ok!
I think we are the problem so can not solve.
As a last attempt, I have a youtube video
It is ONLY the left klick with a Problem.
http://youtu.be/XP6CoJBZEDM
You can see the left klick works not with only 1 finger on the pad.
But when i put a finger on the pad and try it again the left klick it works....
Note also the noise in the Video.
Tapping is no alternative!
But it is not so bad, then the Macbook is just not used with windows.
many greetings and thanks for your effort
Andy

It sounds like your laptop is possibly overheating ,which will cause a shutdown. Have you checked your cooling fan to be sure it is working? Cleaned the vents/ports with compressed air to increase airflow?

I figured it out and found another way to install the printer driver.

Server 2.2.1 - Disable "Share with Windows clients (SMB)" as default for new Share Points

I have been experiencing issues with the native OS X 10.8.3 Server SMBx service. I have therefore disabled it in favor of full Samba via SMBup. With that said, when I chose to add a new share, by default OS X Server activates "Share with Windows clients (SMB)" I would like this option disabled by default as I am managing my SMB shares through SMBup. Is there a preference to accomplish this?
TIA.

Itunes won't play any cd i put in the drive (macbook pro). I am running paralells with windows 7 and have disables media player so that didn't help

itunes won't recognize/play/import any cd i put in the drive. I am also running paralells with windows 7 and have disabled media player. any suggestions?

I have the same problem.
On launch itunes works fine.
If I let it play through a full album of songs unatended, when I return it respondes, but will not play music. I can browse my collection, but when i click the play button, press the space bar with a track selected or double cclick a track it will not play. A restart of iTunes solves the problem temporarily.

How to disable back to my mac with Windows airport utility?

Setup is as follows:
Modem > AEBS (latest version) > Windows 8.1 machine running IPSEC VPN server
..I cannot get the outside world to talk to the VPN server despite forwarding the required ports (500,4500,1701) so I enable debug logging on the AEBS and see a bunch of these.
Mar 7 19:49:26 airport-extreme natpmp: Binding added for udp, 109.155.226.110:32771 to 10.0.1.2:4500 with lifetime 7200
Mar 7 19:49:26 airport-extreme natpmp: Binding added for udp, 109.155.226.110:32769 to 10.0.1.32:4500 with lifetime 7200
In AEBS I'm forwarding 4500 to IP .99
4500 is BTMM right?
So I'm thinking I'll disable BTMM on the AEBS and test again however the Windows airport utility won't let me disable/enable BTMM and I dont have another OSX machine on the network currently to use to check/change the setting.
Any suggestions on how I can disable BTMM from the Windows tool? Or without a tool at all?
Thanks!!

I strongly recommend whenever a router is seeming to cause issues.. you actually bypass it.. plug the computer directly into the modem and see if the vpn works. You need to get the simple easy to work before you attempt the much harder job of vpn passthrough on a known problematic device.
If the vpn doesn't work still you have the vpn server or local firewall setup wrongly.
If it works ok and the airport continues to give you grief.
My advice is simple.. get another router. Bridge the AE and use it for Wireless. A cheap normal router (particularly if you purchase wisely one that has possible 3rd party firmware) is going to save you years of aging, worry, pain, and all round trouble. Particularly when you try to get things working Apple to Windows with their different upnp vs NATPMP protocols, it is just too hard.
however I'm still seeing those binding messages in the log, as if it's still going somewhere.
Some interaction with Apple is built into every Mac with iCloud ID at least. Turn off all the other clients in the network.. reboot the AE.. but I doubt it will make any difference. It might not be BTMM it might simply be the security protection of the username and password.
