How do I prevent the UltraNav driver from automatically installing?

I have an x230 with Windows 8. As some of you might know, the UltraNav driver on Windows 8 does not allow the middle button to be used for middle-click. As a workaround, I use the Synaptics generic mouse driver, which works just fine.
However, either Lenovo or Windows (I suspect the latter) persistently tries to reinstall the (evil) UltraNav driver, which kills middle-click functionality. So every once in a while when my system has been rebooted after updates, I find I can't middle click, which means I have to manually uninstall the UltraNav driver, reboot once, install the Synaptics generic driver, reboot again.
This is a huge hassle, and I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Solved!

Actually, Windows Update itself seems to have nothing to do with it. (It took me a while to realize it wasn't working since I rarely shut down my laptop.)
I have a strong feeling the culprit is here:
open Devices & Printers. (Type it into the Start Screen and it will be under Settings)
Right click your laptop's icon and click Device Installation Settings
Select: No, let me choose what to do; Never install driver software from Windows Update
Hoping this works, because I seriously depend on the middle click button in AutoCAD. If you're used to opening/closing tabs with it, ctrl + left click works without too much extra effort.

    How can I remove the hard drive from an iMac g4 before recycling it?

    There are take-apart guides online.  For example
    http://www.xlr8yourmac.com/systems/imac_g4/imacg4_takeapart.html
    However, you can also consider securely erasing the hard drive instead.  You can do this using a Mac OS X installation disc with a version that your iMac G4 can boot from the optical drive.  If this is a viable option, please post back (include Mac OS X version on installation disc).

  • When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?

    To all,
    After -reluctantly- "upgrading" from Acrobat Pro 7 to Pro X I find this new version absolutely maddening.
    Pro 7's features were easy to find in the tool bar. Now in Pro X everything is "dumbed down" with everything "nested" into each other...
    But I whine and digress from my problem:
    QUESTION:
    When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?
    With every insertion of a checkbox onto a form, a "notebox" appears.
    Thank you,
    Matt

    As you can see, when I add a checkmark to a page/form, a "note" is automatically added also. In my old Acrobat v. 7, this did not happen.
    Any ideas on how I can set Acrobat Pro X to NOT include this note?
    Thank you,

  • When used as an Activex control in windows How can I prevent the "Q" logo from appearing between streaming videos?

    When used as an Activex control in windows How can I prevent the "Q" logo from appearing between streaming videos?

    Hello Cgifford,
    Welcome to National Instruments Forums.
    To output your signal to the PFI lines,
    you can use external connectios between OUT0 and PFI lines. You can also use
    the backplane to do so by routing into the same RTSI line.
    1)
    On the SCOPE and FGEN, the name of the
    terminals are actually “PXI Trigger Line x/RTSIx” but on the 6602 you might
    need to route the signal using the property:
    You can also use the DAQmx route signal which perform the same opperation.
    2)
    This will depend on the frequency of
    your pulse train. If this is lower than about 10 ms, then you can probably
    place this on a loop and start and stop the acquisition every time. If the
    frequency is higher than this, you will have to use:
    -       Scripting on the FGEN side (read more)
    -       MultiRecord Fetch (more information in the scope help file
    section “Acquisition Functions Reading versus Fetching”).
    3)
    The short answer is yes. The longer one
    might depend on how tight you need the synchronization to be (us, ns, ps). For
    very tight synchronization, you should look into here.

  • How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?

    How can I disable the Photos app from automatically running when I plug in my iPhone?
    I have no intention of ever using Photos, in fact, having to abandon Aperture takes me one step close to moving back to Windows, but I digress.
    I just want to NOT have to kill the Photos app every time I plug in my phone.
    Thanks.

    I am still seeing the option Image Capture, like shown in the screenshot that Rysz posted.   But it is another example of the hide-and-seek Apple likes to play with us.
    The option has to be set for each device individually. With the device connected to USB, you have to click the tiny disclosure triangle in the lower left corner of the sidebar to reveal the option.
    I was perfectly happy with the program I paid for (Aperture), and now to maintain the functionality I have to pay for another application (LightRoom) to get the functionality that I paid for in Aperture.
    Aperture 3.6 is working well with Yosemite. I will use it, as long as I have a Mac, that will run Yosemite or a compatible system.
    Have you looked at Capture One?  It looks much more similar to Aperture than Lightroom.

  • How do I eject the flash drive from an Officejet 8610 after scanning a file into it.

    I used the front panel controls of my Officejet 8610 to scan an image into a flash drive plugged into the front panel of the 8610.
    The 8610 recognized the presence of the drive just fine, and placed the scanned image on it as desired.
    But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to do a controlled ejection of the flash drive.  (I finally did a controlled power-down of the 8610 and removed the drive after the 8610 turned itself off.)

    Thank you for your post on the hp.com forums regarding safely ejecting your USB flash drive. In our printers, to remove your USB flash drive, all you need to do is - remove the flash drive. There is really no other method needed. You will not harm the flash drive, printer or files.
    Hope this helps.

  • How do you prevent the itunes trailers from playing in a different language when traveling abroad?

    I am traveling in the Dominican Republic and I was looking to download a move, but I wanted to watch the trailer first.  The trailer played well but in Spanish and I don't speak or understand Spanish.  How do I change the setting so all trailers play in English?  Does the same apply to what I download?

    You can only purchase items in the iTunes store country you are physically located in and have a credit card and billing address in that country.

    You can't. You can sign out of messages and turn it off, but you can't do what you would like to do. You can send feedback to Apple.

  • How do I prevent the audio mixer from muting output on windows startup?

    I bought the HS-1200 headset some time ago and it's almost the perfect headset if it weren't for a few annoying things.The most annoying thing is that the microphone is way to soft and during online gaming, my team mates can hardly hear me. I never had that problem with my previous headsets. Apparently, Creative is aware of the problem and they have tried to solve it with a driver update - which did not help at all (for most people) since IMO this is a hardware issue. So I don't expect to see that problem solved ever.
    But another annoying problem I have - which I do think can be solved quite easily (but I don't know how, which is why I'm asking here) - is that since I installed the HS-1200, my audio's output is always muted when I start up Windows. So I always have to start the mixer (by double clicking the speaker icon in the systray) and unmute the audio. Audio will stay unmuted till the next Windows session at which time it will be muted again.
    Any way to prevent this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thank you very much. I found it with Tools as the starting point, then found the warn me message in Advanced and, unclicked it as you said.
    I'm hoping it will work but my guess is that I'll have to reboot or at least close and restart the browser.
    Thanks again!

  • How do you prevent the spry menu from using the main css background-image?

    (Dreamweaver CS5. Problem seems not to be browser specific)
    I added some code I found online to my main css file in order to allow a custom icon to be used as a  bullet in unordered lists, sitewide. It was added before the "body,td,th {" line.
    The problem is that the same icon now appears on the upper left hand corner of each main menu segment; not on any submenus or during any mouse states. Just the main at-rest bar.
    I know this is somehow related to spry itself being a list, but how do I keep it from showing the background image of the main css file?
    Thanks!
    This is the site http://www.usc.edu/org/seagrant/NS/
