  • 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.

    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 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Satellite P50T-A016. how to disable edge swipe gestures

    Hello,
    I have Satellite P50T-A016 laptop runing windows 8.1 and I'm attempting to turn off the charm bar. After researching various websites/forums, it appears the charm bar is hardwired into windows and Microsoft provides no option to turn it off directly.
    These websites/fourms also suggest disabling edge swipes gestures will indirectly turn-off the charm bar.
    After I de-select "control pannel -> mouse -> enable edge swipes" and reboot the laptop, edge swipes are still being detected.
    Why is edge switpes still enabled?
    How to disable edge swipes?
    Regards
    Graham

    > I have looked at the link. It is address multifinger gestures and sensitivity. I also noticed that the link leaves the "Enable edge swipes" option selected. So I'm not sure how this link helps.
    The link and the HowTO helps you to find the touchpad Synaptics settings!
    It shows you where to disable or enable settings which would be also related to the touchpad edge swipes.
    > Regarding the charm bar, as a desktop mode user of windows I don't use it. The only time I have used it is when I have inadvertently turn it on when I switch between mouse (default), touchpad and touschscreen. It just get in the way even when hot corners are disabled.
    Well, buddy you are not alone with this opinion but this is how it works and Microsoft decided to design the Win 8/8.1 system in this way
    > When the "Enable edge swipes" option deselected then right-edge gesture on the touchpad no longer triggers the charm bar opening. Great!,
    Thats right and this is how it works
    > However, the right-edge gesture on the touchscreen is still enabled.
    Dont mix touchpad with the touchscreen! The edge swipe settings in touchpad are NOT related to touchscreen!

  • Disable Touchpad on a HP-15-G029

    I am trying to see if there is a hot-key or some kind of way to disable the touchpad other than removing it from the device manager.
    I am using a HP15 G029 running Win 8.1 factory installed.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Donovan,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums, 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.
    I will be happy to help disable your TouchPad. There are two potential ways; in the upper left hand corner of the TouchPad double tap it. If see a light turn on nearby then you have disabled your TouchPad. Or you can check out the HP document below and there is a section on how to disable the TouchPad.

  • Disabling touchpad

    Hi everyone!
    I have Solaris 10 running XSun server on x86 laptop. I'm using an USB mouse, which gets configured simultaneously with laptop's touchpad when using any of the drivers of kdmconfig available for an USB mouse. Sounds nice, but however I'd like to disable touchpad to avoid accidental mouse actions. How could this be done?
    Any help is appreciated!

    Besides,
    I have another mouse-related problem, too. My mouse gets stuck after some JSD use, normally from 15 minutes to half an hour. The problem remains with every driver I've tried, both USB and touchpad. How to cure this?

  • Problem disabling touchpad when mouse present

    Hi,
    I looked on the wiki to find out how to disable the touchpad on my laptop when a USB mouse is present. I configured xorg.conf in the correct way, then I added the following udev rules as instructed:
    ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ID_CLASS="mouse", RUN+="/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1"
    ACTION=="remove", SUBSYSTEM=="input", ID_CLASS="mouse", RUN+="/usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=0"
    This works to an extent, insofar as when I have a running system with X working the touchpad is disabled and enabled when the mouse is plugged in or removed respectively. However, when I boot the machine with a mouse attached, X starts up and both devices are enabled. The reason for this is twofold:
    1. synclient will not work properly when the X server is not running
    2. An "add" action is not generated for the device unless you actually plug it in on a running system
    Is there any way to detect the presence of the USB mouse on boot and disable the touchpad? It would be much cooler if this could be done without looking for specific device names like /dev/input/mouse0, mouse1 etc. because then we will have a solution that works for everyone that we can put on the wiki.

    OK, so this is just a skeleton of a possible solution...  Assuming that it is a USB mouse that we're talking about...  Run "lsusb and check the ID number of the mouse (it should look something like "07aa:2501", for example).  Write a little script which looks something like this:
    #!/bin/sh
    lsusb | grep -q 07aa:2501
    if [ "$?" -eq "0" ]
    then
    /usr/bin/synclient TouchpadOff=1
    fi
    Change "07aa:2501" to the ID of your mouse, of course.  The script checks if the mouse is connected and if it is it disables the touchpad; if mouse is not connected then nothing happens.  I haven't checked if it works (I have no mouse to try it with here) but it should work.  Once you save the script and make it executable add it to /etc/rc.local so that it gets executed on every boot.
    EDIT: You're right -- synclient is not going to work if X server is not running, so the rc.local is not a good place to execute that script...  It's not a huge problem -- you should be able to execute it during the start up routine of X (add it to xinitrc, possibly with sleep to make sure that X is actually started when the script is executed) or to autostart in gnome/kde (depending on what WM/DE you're using).
