How to disable TouchPad 'tap to click' on Equium A200-15L under Vista

Until mid-December I had the Synaptics Touchpad 'tap to click' disabled. Then it somehow became enabled , the right-click menu item to change it greyed out and the mouse properties, settings etc contain no reference to it. It has been suggested that Windows Updates somehow interfered. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling touchpad drivers both directly from Synaptics and from the Toshiba site, but it hasn't helped. Apart from using the recovery disk and reformatting what can I do?
Toshiba Equium A200 15L Laptop (PSAE2E). Windows Vista Home Premium.

Hi Juliana
I have read also about the Vista updates which could affect the touchpad settings for me it sound very mysterious
I thought about the same touchpad driver reinstallation procedure.
But it looks like this doesnt help to get the click functions back.
I think the recovery CD would be the last resort.
Good luck

  • Disable Synaptics Tap to click. How to???

    I want to disable the "tap to click" option on my touch pad. Of all the useless options under "Tapping" in the control panel, disabling the tap to click is not there. (6715B running Vista Ultimate).
    I can set up little areas to do all sorts of things of no interest whatsoever, but the Tap to click 'feature' seems to be hard wired to ON.
    A web search shows that it used to be there. (screen shot of the check box I want but don't have)
    Synaptics just say contact your supplier. HP don't even try. (Your product is out of warranty we're not interested) 
    As far as I can tell hundreds of people have the same problem, but there is no solution.
    Does anyone know where I can get an OLDER driver maybe. Vista tells me that I already have the latest one.
    Are HP and synaptics deliberately trying to alienate their customers. or do they genuinely feel that the intensely irritating tap to click is so important that it shall not be turned off.

    Couldn't agree more. Why the heck do they put a Synaptic's touchpad in the device if you can't get a current driver for it? HP customer support website, and synaptic's website are totally useless. Synaptic's just wants me to download their Scrybe software, and when I tried to do that, it tells me I must use a synaptic's driver. I've tried disabling the Alps driver in the MS config screen but it doesn't help.

    To enable/disable Just-In-Time debugging
    On the Tools menu, click Options.
    In the Options dialog box, select the Debugging folder.
    In the Debugging folder, select the Just-In-Time page.
    In the Enable Just-In-Time debugging of these types of code box, select or clear the relevant program types:
    Managed, Native, or Script.
    To disable Just-In-Time debugging, once it has been enabled, you must be running with Administrator privileges. Enabling Just-In-Time debugging sets a registry key, and Administrator privileges are required to change that key.

    User is clicking multiple times on button and we don't want to allow users to click multiple times.
    So that How to disable the button after clicking once.
    Thanks,
    Sandep.

    Since you don't saying what version of Siebel you are on, I assume
    8.0 or later.
    You can use this on if you applet class is CSSFrame, CSSFrameList, or any of their subclasses.
    On the applet add, Applet User Prop:
    Name
    CanInvokeMethod: InvokeWF
    Value
    [DisableButton]='N' OR [DisableButton] IS NULL
    More info here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40099_02/books/ToolsDevRef/ToolsDevRef_UserProps6.html
    On the applet add, Applet User Prop:
    Name
    Named Method
    Value
    "InvokeWF", "SET", "DisableButton", "Y"
    More info here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40099_02/books/ToolsDevRef/ToolsDevRef_UserProps21.html
    Make sure the field DisableButton is active (Use Force Active on BC if the field isn't active)
    Make sure the field has "Immediate Post Changes" set to true on the BC.

    PS: Don't use scripts if you can solve the problem with user props, WF, .... Scripting should
    be you last resort.

  • Touchpad tapping and clicking

    Hello.
    I have a strange problem with the touchpad. I cannot select internet search result using the touchpad. I tried double tapping, right clicking, left clicking. It just won't work. I have to copy the link and paste the link in the URL. I already check the pop-up blocker.
    Touchpad works fine on my internet home page. I can double tap(s) on a story, news, and other icons. No problems. It just when I do a search. I can only see the result, but cannot click on it, or double tap it.
    I'm hoping someone out there with a similar problem. It is a laptop Pavilion dv7. I'm using Windows 7/64.

    Hello pavilion,
    Welcome to the HP Community, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    That is a very strange issue you are having with the TouchPad. I will need some additional information.  What browser are you using? Have you tried a different browser? What is your product number?

  • Touchpad "Tap to click" misbehaves badly

    The tap-to-click function misbehaves really badly for me (xf86-input-synaptics). It is mainly 2 problems:
    When I move my mousepointer short periods of time (doesnt seem to go by distance, but it is in the range of 16px-64px depending on how fast I move) and then lift my finger of the touchpad, it reponds as a click.
    When I tap-to-click on something that needs precision(a 8x8 button) I notice my pointer moves away alot, causing misclicks and irritation.
    I am certain both of these are fixable (even if it requires some C-coding), since I get none of these problems in Windows 7.
    PS. My touchpad has a really shitty design (you have to click on the touchpad itself really hard to press the mouse buttons) which makes "tap-to-click" pretty much obligatory.

    hi,
    thanks for your reply.  i haven't had time to deal with this issue since i wrote about it in october.
    i found the 'properties' window for the touchpad mouse but there is no reset button.  i continue to have this issue and it is becoming more frequent although i have not been able to identify what triggers the sudden shut down of the tap-to-click function.
    but something new has cropped up: when the tap-to-click stops working, the next time i tap the touchpad, the pointer goes to the Start button!  this happens every time.  i don't know that anything is different?
    any further pointers (forgive the pun) would be most welcome!

  • How to disable touchpad when usb mouse in on HP ENVY dv7-7259nr Notebook PC‏ using Windows 7

    I would like to have my touch pad disabled when using my USB mouse or otherwise be able to manually disable it.  It is a pain to use when typing with the touch pad enabled but I would like to use the touch pad on occasions such as when I am traveling or if my mouse goes out. Not to mention, I would need to re-enable the touh pad if for some reason I have no mouse (keyboard shortcut?)
    I am using windows 7 on my HP ENVY dv7-7259nr Notebook PC‏

    This is what it looks like. 
    You should consider returning you notebook to the Windows 8 OS. There are many new features that it has that Windows 7 never did. Download use the free open source software called classic shell to give yourself a start button in Windows 8 that even has more features than Windows 7 start buton does. Once you use Windows 8 for a while you will enjoy it, especially the refresh feature and lower memory use. 
    I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for Windows 7 drivers.

  • Satellite C55-B5353 - how to disable touchpad sensor?

    I'm using Windows 8.1 on a Toshiba Satellite C55-B5353. I need to disable the touchpad sensor. It's driving me crazy.
    I never use swipes or touchpad gestures...I rely exclusively on keyboarding and manual use of a mouse. But on this computer, because of the touchpad sensor, I cannot type, keyboard, or use my mouse efficiently. That's because the sensor makes my cursor jump, or causes pages to scroll up and down, etc.
    I've tried using the F5 key and the FN+F9 keys. It doesn't work.
    Can someone please tell me what to do about this problem? I can't get any work done until I find a solution. I don't know if the problem is the Satellite C55-B5353 or Windows 8.1.

    Satellite C55-B5353
    I've tried using the F5 key and the FN+F9 keys.
    It should be either F5 or Fn + F5. See the top of p. 146 in the User's Guide.

  • How to disable button immediately after click?

    Hello,
    I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.1.4.0
    On my screen is an 'Add' button that calls specific method written in bean (addAction). Following are actions in addAction():
    1. Disable Add button
    2. Execute 'CreateInsert'
    3. adfContext.addPartialTarget(corresponding adf table)
    This works fine when user clicks on 'Add' and waits for couple of seconds, till the 'Add' button gets disabled
    However, if the user keeps on clicking 'Add' button, it sends multiple requests to server and adds those many records in 'adf table'.
    Is there any way to stop user input till the response is received for the previous request?
    I tried setting up 'blocking' property of the button. But it did not work.
    I also tried using 'unsecure' property of the button for disabled property and call setProperty('disabled',true) in javascript. In this case server request is not sent.
    Appreciate your help in this regard.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You need a SIM card AND a WWAN card. In brief, your SIM card authorizes you to connect to your wireless provider's network. The WWAN card contains the electronics which connect to your provider's network. Your X300 does not have a WWAN card. Some X300 configurations do.

  • Disable tap to click

    I am having a problem with the tap to click "feature" or as I would rather call it, nuisance.  It was easy to disable the tap to click feature in the touch pad driver for Windows 8.0, but the one that Toshiba Service Station suggested for Windows 8.1 seems to have that setting removed.  Is it possible to disable tap to click on my laptop using Windows 8.1?  I have a Satellite c655d-s5300. Any help will be appreciated.  I don't care for this tap to click feature, but I guess I will have to get used to it if the setting to disable it has been taken away.

    Nothing. Thanks a lot, Toshiba. And your customer service did exactly zero to tell me how to disable the tap to click, either. They sent me instructions on something that had absolutely nothing to DO with disabling tap to click! What the holy heck is wrong with these people? If you're going to have completely ineffectual customer service, completely ineffectual customer forums, and no --um-- MANUAL THAT I CAN READ, maybe, either online or in the box--that would have been nice-- then can you PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE NEVER HAVE A TAP TO CLICK FUNCTION ON YOUR STUPID COMPUTERS EVER, EVER AGAIN? Whew. Sorry for the rant, but after getting no manual, no help from customer service, and no help here, I just had to. No one is listening anyway, apparently. I guess I'll buy a mouse so that I can just disable the stupid touchpad. An extra so many dollars, but fat luck getting any effective answer out of these people at this company, I guess.
