How can I disable touch screen for HP Pavillion DV3-2310ea

Howdy
The touchscreen on this laptop can be annoying - even though I've reduced the sensitivity, living in a cat rescue home is challenging to say the least when a strand of cat fur gets on the screen or when a tail brushes the screen, not to mention a cat sneeze -_-
I've been looking around for solutions and I found one stating unchecking the box in "Pen and Touch" in the control panel - however on this laptop there's no box to uncheck  
I can't find any settings to disable touch screen, so would anyone know if there's a driver I can temporaraily disable (I'd like to KEEP the option to enable the touch screen - just to show off to friends ) 
Thanks for your time - Gypsy
P.S I'm sorry if this topic has already been discussed I've just joined to ask this question 

Hello,
Would like to leave my contibution on this post:
In order to disable the touchscreen, you have to go to control panel, select Tablet PC settings, then select Pen and touch and do what the print screens below show you:
Let me know if this sorted out your question.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON

  • How can I disable the Keychain for an application?

    How can I disable the Keychain for an application? A window pops up every time I open a page in Safari asking me for a password. I'm using a student laptop, so while I'm an administrator I lack access to a few things, such as the Keychain Access application. Is there any way to deal with this?

    It's possible you may be able to trick it by creating an Applications folder in your Home directory and moving Safari to it.
    I can't test this but it might work. The problem is that you would miss Safari updates, so you'd have to keep an eye out for them. Another solution may be to download another Safari and install in yourname/Applications.

    No, Firefox is user choice rules over the "wants" of individual websites as far as disabling contextual menus and the keyboard commands.
    Placing a transparent image over the image will keep the less technical user from saving the main image. If they do try to save it all they'll get is the transparent image overlay.

  • How can I disable "Fingerprint Software" for programs only?

    Hi,
    somehow, the "Fingerprint Software" require from user to swipe a finger anytime he open programs that require from user to insert "user and password."
    How can I disable it permanently just for program and not for log-on?
    Thanks.

    I would have thought (hoped) this would do the job. In my case with the Truesuite Access manager software General Settings configured with the Replace Windows password logon with fingerprint logon checkbox unticked the fingerprint access logon appears whenever I go to a browser login that requires a user name and password to be specified. I have made the change to the General Settings and rebooted the computer and logged on by typing in my logon credentials. I have wiped out all the internet settings in the browser. Yet every time I visit this browser page to login the fingerprint access dialog pops up to infuriate me.
    Some postings on the internet suggest this fingerprint access is too much hassle to bother with and I am starting to believe it.

  • How do I disable touch screen temporarlily in command promt?

    I had been Starting a Command prompt, and here's what I have So far
    @echo off
    title YELLOW_BEAR
    mode 166,68
    :BEGIN
    color 6E
    echo ITS ME
    shutdown.exe /r /c "IT'S ME" /t 60
    (disabling mouse, touch screen, ect. line would be here)
    goto GOLDEN_BEAR
    :GOLDEN_BEAR
    "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\Videos\[FILENAME].mp4"
    TIMEOUT 20
    pause
    goto GOLDEN_BEAR
    I have one teeny question- Is there Any way I can add on to this so it can also disable ALL user actions? (touching the screen, typing, mouse pad) BUT, for only temporary purposes so it can be enabled again when restarted? (note line #7, "shutdown.exe
    /r /c "IT'S ME" /t 30)
    so it would be like this-
    user clicks on prompt
    user sees ITS ME on command prompt window
    user is notified windows will shutdown, with comment of IT'S ME
    [FILENAME].mp4 (around 20 seconds, note "TIMEOUT 20") would play, user cannot pause because off  
             all actions would be disabled
    after 20 seconds, [FILENAME].mp4 would play again, in fact 2 more times ,total of three the user.        
            not being able to do anything], until  it restarts and the
            touch screen would be working again
    by the way, I run windows RT 8.1 on surface 1

    Open it in iTunes and restore your device.

  • How can I handle touch screen events with Swing?

    Hi,
    I was wondering how i can handle touch screen events. Are there APIs for that or is it just a mouse event?
    Thank you in advance.
    Tim

    I have recently created an application that ran on a touch screen system. I used the normal mouse events attached to the swing components (onClick) and these were translated by the touch screen. Typically I created a calculator type keypad, touched the screen on the text box where I wanted the data to appear and then pressed the keypad buttons to populate the field. No special drivers, just using swing components
    Hope that helps
    yeah, this is really useful info.. me too trying to build an application for the touch screen... just wondering how other events like focus gained, tree selection events are recognized by touch screen? can we have focus and tree, table selection events etc, as it is in the touch screen as well?? or everything is just mouse event only??

  • How can I enable Touch ID for Apple Pay without turning Passcode on?

    I have an iPhone 6 w/ iOS 8.1.
    I strongly dislike having to unlock my phone when I want to use it. Until I purchased the iPhone 6, I have never enabled a passcode. My phone is never out of my immediate control and when I want to access my phone, I want to access it immediately, not put in a passcode or wait for it to recognize my finger print.
    There are separate settings for "Turn Passcode On/OFF" and for enabling the use of Touch ID for Unlock/Apple Pay/iTunes. However, if you turn off passcode, All three of the Touch ID Options are immediately disabled. Unlock makes sense, as your phone would no longer be "locked". However disabling Apple Pay and especially iTunes/App Store (since those purchases require you enter your Apple ID Password, NOT the passcode!) does not make sense.
    The inconvenience of the extra unlock step every time I want to use my phone to do anything almost certainly will negate any convenience of using my phone to make purchases.
    Am I missing a configuration? If not there should be a way to use Touch ID without having an unlock passcode!

    NO in order to use the touch id, you need to enable a 4 digit passcode.
    No way around that.
    Imagine when you lose your phone and the person who has it can access anything on your phone because it's an extra step to have to use the touch id or enter the 4 digit passcode to lock/unlock your phone.

  • HP Stream 7 5701 Tablet - disable touch screen for toddler

    I have a toddler who likes to watch iTunes movies on the HP Stream 5701 Tablet but he touches the screen and stops the movie.  Is there a simple and easy way to disable the touch screen and let the movie continue to play?

    You don't disable the touch screen persay.. it simply disables buttons except sleep, and the only control on the screen is a box to unlock the screen (The movie is in full screen playback). The unlock button can be as simple as a push button, to something as complex as a gesture. So the kid is free to put his hands all over the screen with little fear of stoping or exiting the movie. 

  • How can I restore touch screen capability on safari?

    The touch screen on my ipad2 when in safari has become inactive. I can open web pages but not click links in them. The web page has taken on a gray tint. The top right corner shows a padlock surrounded by a refresh symbol. I suspect this is something simple.  Any ideas?

    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache or Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • How can I disable "Modify Dashboard" for specified USER?

    I want to disable "Modify Dashboard" for users. But I can't find which rights (in Manage privileges) is for this feature.
    SORRY duplicate with Link: disable edit dashboard for groups
    Edited by: Vlada on Sep 26, 2008 10:37 AM

    This is done in the "permissions"of the dashboard. You have to set it for each dashboard if the user some create dashboard rights.

  • How to disable touch screen for touchsmart 610

    HP TouchSmart 610
    Windows 7 64-bit
    I need to touch the screen without causing stuff to move.

    Not sure what you ? is since your subjet says : how to disable then your statement in the body of the form says " touch the screen without causing stuff to move" so confused.
    What I suggest is pick your model here from the Model 610 page and look for what your asking within that page on your system.

  • How can I disable the Reason for Rejection field in VA02 line items

    Hi,
      I dont want the users to be able to change the reason for rejection field in the sales order line items. Can someone please suggest a tried and tested way of doing this
    Thanks for reading.

    Set up an auth object for the field.  In userexit field modification check the auth object and set the field to be grayed out if they don't have authority.  Users can then not change the value of the field  Sample code
    IF screen-name = 'VBAP-ABGRU'.
           AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'Z_BLK_REAS'
                   ID 'ABGRU' DUMMY.
          IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
            screen-input = 1.
          ELSE.
            screen-input = 0.
          ENDIF.
      ENDIF.
