How to disable the touch pad on the HP 6730b laptop? None of the prev sugg have worked

An associate of mine is working on an HP 6730b and her wrist or sleeve keeps brushing against the touch pad, making the pointer jump around. Since she doesn't use it anyway, she wants to disable it, but none of the suggestions I've found have worked. There is no on/off button near it on this model; nor a Device Settings tab in the touch pad's Properties, so she can't go the simple route. Thanks so much to anyone who can provide any assistance -  Lorian

  • Satellite P300 - how do I adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad?

    I have read all of the forums without luck. Is it possible to adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad? I have gone into the control panel and clicked through the mouse settings but there is no 'Advanced' or 'Synaptics' tabs allowing this to be adjusted. At the moment, I am using the FN + F9 to disable the touch pad altogether, however I am hoping that this is a short term solution. Thanks for any replies.

    If Synaptics driver is preinstalled on your notebook you can find advanced settings HERE .
    When you open the properties the last option is Sensitivity .

  • Satellite L750-1E6 - How do I turn off the touch pad scrolling icon?

    Hi
    Please can anyone help? I want to disable an icon that appears when i use the Touch Pad. Think it's probably something to do with scrolling. I can't find any reference to it in the User Manual. It's annoying and I don't want it.

    Thanks for reading.

    look at the windows task bar near the clock you have some icons and a little arrow....
    look at the icons doaes any of them look like a touch pad?
    if not press the arrow and there will apear other icons look for one that loocks like a touch pad...press it > pointing device prop... > device settings > scrolling untick enable vertical and horizontal scroling.....
    or if you want to keep the scrolling options in the pointing device prop go to wheel and set the horizontal and vertical scroling to 1

  • I just upgraded to 9.0.1 and when I use my touch pad to scroll down or up a page the page jumps to another tab. How do I remove 9.0.1?

    I am using a MacBookPro, OS X 10.7.2. I am unable to use the touch pad to scroll without having the page jump to another tab. This is annoying and the only way I can navigate any more is to use the scroll bar on the right side of the page. I would like to remove the most recent upgrade, any ideas on how I can do that?

    When you upgraded, itunes should have put a copy of the itunes library database in a folder named *Previous iTunes Libraries* . If you upgraded itunes today it will show as
    iTunes Library 2010-02-28.itl
    Use these directions to get it back

    Since I am not sure of your setup, look for the "Previous" folder on both your C: and F: drives.

  • Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit).

    Firefox (latest and greatest) has been giving me synaptics scroll wheel errors. It has worked fine up until 3 days ago. I have the latest driver for the touch-pad, from synaptics, for my toshiba laptop L505D-S5986. Operating system is Windows 7 (32-Bit). Have tried it on other browsers, and works as it should. The last add-on i installed for Firefox was "Fox Filter" so my kids couldn't accidentally stumble onto sites of immoral tastes. I can't see why that would have any effect, but it was the last update/add-on i installed to the browser, but even then,.......it was working fine for a week and a half afterwards until now. Please help.

    Hello Steve.
    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
    If you detect a faulty add-on, you should contact its author for support. You can also search for alternatives. Site filters are relatively common in the add-ons gallery: [http://addons.mozilla.org addons.mozilla.org].

  • Satellite P series - I can no longer scroll using edge of the touch pad

    Please can anyone tell me why I can no longer scroll using the edge of the touch pad.
    This seems to have occurred since I had to reinstall Vista following a problem with some faulty Ram.
    Thanks

    Hi
    One reason can be a missing touchpad driver.
    But if the touchpad driver has been installed, then you should check the settings of the touchpad.
    In control panel -> mouse you will find the touchpad properties. It should be the last tab.
    There you can check enable and disable and configure many options.
    Cheers

  • Equium A200-15i: I cannot use the touch pad - no response

    I cannot use the touch pad in my equium A200-15i.
    When I touch the pad, there is no response at all.
    Please help me to solve it.
    I have tried to uninstalled the program and reinstalled it, but problem still exists.

    Hi
    Did you check if the touchpad is enabled correctly???
    Using the key combination FN+F9 you can disable and enable the touchpad functionality!
    Please check this function if you have not disabled the touchpad accidentally!
    Last but not least I would recommend checking the touchpad settings in the control panel mouse -> Advanced -> Advanced feature settings.
    There you will find different options which can be configured to use all the available touchpad features.
    Best regards

  • Anyone know when the New Tour with the touch pad will ever come out for vzw?

    Anyone know when the New Tour with the touch pad will ever come out for vzw? Date,Day,Year, Month anything?

    My understanding is that the new Bold 9650 is considered the "new Tour" seeing as how the Tour is the Blackberry 9630.

  • Using the touch pad on my new pavilion dv7-6b50ea

    hi, can anyone tell me how the touch pad switches on and off,and if it is possible to scoll using the touch pad on my new pavilion dv7-6b50ea

    Did you try '''Ctrl'''+'''0''' (zero) to reset the zoom.
    You did that with by holding the control key and scrolling on the right edit of the pad, which is equivalent to Ctrl+scrollwheel on the mouse.
    Ctrl+0 to restore zoom to normal (Ctrl+- zooms out, Ctrl++ zooms in )
    The problem with the Zoom toolbar buttons (+ and -) builtin to Firefox 4 is that there is no way to zoom directly to normal (100%) nor even tell what zoom level you are at.
    For more control over zooming things see these [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox.htm#zoom zoom links]
    To set the zoom permanently on a per site basis, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/ NoSquint] extension, which optionally remembers on a per site basis.

  • Pro L10: After using a wireless mouse, the touch pad has stopped working

    Pro L10. After using a wireless mouse, the built in touch pad has stopped working properly. On start up the touch pad icon shows and the touch pad operates intermittently, after a few minuets the icon disappears and the touch pad stops functioning. In the control panel/mouse & or device drive I can the program operating and then disappears.
    I have removed the software and reinstalled to no avail. On occasions I get a message to say that another pointer is in operation.
    Can you help?

    Hi
    It seems that the wireless mouse or the wireless mouse drivers/software has a bad influence on the touchpad.
    I dont have a proper solution for this issue. Well, you can check the Toshiba driver page for newest driver updates. If the updates doesnt solve this issue so I suggest to use either the wireless mouse and disable the touchpad with the key combination FN+F9 or to use a common USB mouse.
    I assume that you dont have any problems with a common USB mouse.

  • I wiped down the touch pad on my MacBook Pro and now it's not working well

    I wiped down the touch pad with a damp cloth on my MacBook Pro and not it's not working very well.  What should I do to fix the problem?

    Let it dry, it will come around. You just chilled it a little most likely, unless the cloth was very damp....
    Next time use rubbing alcohol.
    It removes the oils and grease and dries fast too.
    So your have appy to the cloth, wipe, flip the cloth and wipe up the dirt and grime, then start the process with a new clean section of cloth, else you place the grime back on.

  • After installing FF4 scrolling up and down with the touch-pad doesn't work on my Acer Aspire anymore.

    Neither does it work to browse forwards or backwards with the double gesture. Zooming in and out works fine though.
    Everything still works in IE8 and in Google Chrome.
    The touch-pad uses an ALPS-driver.

    Thanks, I don't have the file tp4table.dat on my computer. Currently I've reversed to 3.6 and will run it as long as it works. Really don't like 4.0 anyway... May be forced to use IE again if I don´t find anything better. Tried Chrome and worked well at first but now back and forth doesn't work there either and that's so annoying.
