L440 Clickpad - "Tap to click" function not working in "Trackpoint Only" mode

On a fresh Window 7 install it is possible to tap-to-click when using the Trackpoint rather than pressing down on the Clickpad (which is *very* noisy compared to the X220/X230 buttons and requires far more force). This is very nice alternative to using the Clickpad for left/middle/right button clicks when using the Trackpoint only. It requires almost no force, it generates zero noise and is very comfortable.
Unfortunately, upon installing the Synaptics Ultranav drivers from Lenovo SU, this function is no longer present! You MUST click down the Clickpad otherwise it is not possible to register a left/right/middle click when using the Trackpoint.
Even with Touchpad enabled this functionality is not present, which is quite baffling because you would expect that when the Trackpoint is used, the touchpad should behave as mouse buttons + gestures + scroll zones.
I remember that there were plenty of tricks that could be done through registry entries to enable/disable "hidden" functions of the Synaptics driver. Is there a knowledge base that I could browse and find out if there is a way of enabling the tap-to-click feature when using only the Trackpoint?

Hi Harris,
sorry for not getting back to you quicker, had a job getting hold of an L440.
When I received the system it had driver version 16.6.4.27 installed and tapping worked as expected.  After updating to driver version 18.0.7.99 tapping also worked.
Which driver version did you receive from SystemUpdate?

  • Tap to click does not work. Is there no solution?

    I have XP SP3 with the latest 2.1.1 update. Tapping doesn't work. Keyboard backlight does not work. Eject does not work. Scrolling is hyper active even with mouse set to 1 click scroll. But worst of all, NO MOUSE CLICK.
    If there is a special setting to make, please let me know. I can live with the other problems but not being able to tap is extremely irritating.
    Help! Any Apple Certified Techs out there?

    For those who care to know, the tap to click pretty much does NOT work at all no matter what version of Windows you have.
    I called tech support twice today. The first "expert" told me to try using XP service pack 2. He claimed his tap function worked during his training program.
    I said OK and proceeded to erase and reinstall the whole thing. No go.
    The second tech reviewed my case number and flat out said, "we don't support windows, I can't help you". I understand that some things are beyond the scope of support but to me, this was an apple boot camp issue. Every salesperson I spoke to said it was no problem. There are problems. Probably to be fixed at a later date, however, it is obviously not a priority.
    I do have some good news. I discovered that spyware programs such as Webroot Spy Sweeper seem to make the bootcamp manager crash (you'll see a popup at startup).
    But if you just reinstall bootcamp again it will rebuild the drivers and should work.
    Also, you can reduce the amount of hyper scrolling across the trackpad by setting the mouse click wheel to 1 (3 by default) in control panel. Be sure to check out the bootcamp panel and enable stuff like the fn keys.
    I am now considering Parallels as a solution. If it runs inside OSX then maybe it won't suffer the trackpad issues.
    I am staying with SP2 until someone says SP3 is better. Anyone else have any thoughts?

  • Solved problem of too sensitive "tap to click" function on "magic" trackpad

    After futzing around I found a solution for myself.  I started using my ring finger to move around and my index finger to click or just stuck with the ring finger for everything.  I got rid of those unwanted annoying false clicks this way using the tap to click function.  I haven't figured out the physiology of why this works for me.

    I opened a guest account but unfortunately the same problem persists. Do I continue with a safe boot? Do you yourself experience this problem with your MacBook Pro? Hopefully it'll work soon, I just got mine 5 days ago and am new to Mac.
    Safe boot will tell if it is interference with third party plug-in and extensions.  The guest account problem is telling us it is a global problem and not just isolated to your admin account.
    Given the information the MAc is 5 days new,  I would just return it for one that worked trouble free out of the box.
    No I do not have this problem,  and have not heard it before.
    good luck.

  • My right click is not working. the context menu does not come up and i can no longer drag files/folders. I have checked the mouse and track pad in system preferences and the correct boxes are all checked (with a support member). Please can you help

    My right click is not working and producing the context menu or ability to drag files and folders. I just spoke with a phone support person and we checked that all the mouse/trackpad options for right click were correct and checked.
    Please can you help with this.
    It has only just happened in the last few days.
    Many thanks

    You might want to update your profile so that we can see what model iMac you have and what version of OSX you're running.
    For this question, it might help to know if you're dealing with a trackpad, Magic Mouse, or something else?
    (Until your issue's resolved, you can Control-Left Click to get the right click functionality).

  • Control-clicking does not work in Finder

    Ever since installing the 10.4.5 update, control-clicking does not work in Finder. When I try to do it, Finder automatically restarts itself. This happens in any Finder window and on the desktop itself. Whether I am control-clicking an Application icon or trying to 'Get Info' on a file, Finder restarts itself. I repaired permissions and it did not fix the problem.
    Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks a lot!
    David
    Edit: Nevermind. I fixed it by deleting the JIMZip.plugin file in my Contexual Menu folder. I found the answer in another thread. I apologize for searching after I created this thread.

    David,
    Can you identify any corrupted or incompatible files in either your Macintosh HD/Library/Contextual Menu Items folder, or your Macintosh HD/Users/yourhomefolder/Library/Contextual Menu Items folder?
    If so you may be able to uninstall/reinstall the associated application.
    You may also consider temporary manual removal and isolation of the suspect file to verify CM functionality.

  • Hotspot Click is not working !!

    Hi,
    I have sucessfully implemented hotspot click using OOALV.
    I still have an issue in one of the hotspot click feature.
    I have a OOALV report where i have implemented hotspot click for Contract # as
    when 'KONNR'.
            if w_listdata-konnr <> ''.
              lv_konn = w_listdata-konnr.
              set parameter id 'VRT' field lv_konn.
              CALL TRANSACTION 'ME33K' and skip first screen.      
            endif.
    since ME33K transaction takes input of type 'EVRTN' ,i have taken a
    temporary parameter called lv_konn declared it as type EVRTN.
    But still the hotspot click is not working.
    Can anyone suggest me how to reslove this issue.
    Appreciate all the help.

  • Right-click funcionality not working in assessment mode. I NEED HELP!

    Hi - I've recently created a number of assessment recordings. The right-click function works as I'm recording as well as when preview the project and then after I publish it. However, when I give it to a colleague(s) to demo it, for some reason the assessment isn't recognizing her right-click and she gets stuck. We're both running the same IE, flash and windows versions so I am really a at a loss on this one. Has anyone ever encountered the same problem and if so what did you do to fix it?! Thanks a million!

    Check this out.

    somewhere towards the middle of the page @Mike says the following. Hope this helps
    quote
    Now when you run the movie in your browser, Right-Click is not  working...
    off course it will not work, as Right-Click uses Flash External  Interface, and this new path
    is not a trusted path by your flash player
    Solution : You need to add this new path to your Flash Player  security
    Scenario 2: You just shared your right-click movie folder over  the network ,
    say the new path for other users is   "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
    ( or "\\nework-machine-02\work\captivate-movies\My-Rihgt-Click" )
    and other users are complaining that , Right-Click is not  working...
    Yes once again the reason is same  and new path   "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
    ( or "\\nework-machine-02\work\captivate-movies\My-Rihgt-Click" )   in not a trusted path by
    other user's flash player
    Solution : other user need to add this path  "\\your-machine-name\My-Right-Click-Movie"
    into his Flash player security setting.
    How to add a path to flash player security setting?

  • After upgrading to maverick; help & other functions not working

    After upgrading to maverick; help and other functions not working?

    Sometimes just closing and reopening the Help window will clear up the problem. If it doesn't, log out or restart the computer and try again. Otherwise, you may need to delete the Help cache.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpd
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select 
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder selected. Move the selected folder to the Trash. Log out, log back in, and test. Help pages will be slow to load at first.
    If that doesn't work, the problem may be caused by network conditions. It may go away by itself, though I can't say how long you should wait.
       A persistent failure to load help data has been reported as an issue with satellite networks. Test on a different network, if possible. I've also seen at least one report that Photo Stream in iCloud can mysteriously interfere with Help. I'm not sure whether that's true, but try disabling Photo Stream, if applicable.*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

    my left click does not work on my track pad on my macbook pro 13 inch, is there a fix

    I recommend you to run Apple Hardware Test > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509 It's possible that something is damaged, and Apple Hardware Test will help you finding it. Make sure you tick the option to run an extended test, and connect your Mac to the charger.
    If your Mac came with DVDs, you have to insert the Mac OS X DVD to run Apple Hardware Test. As you haven't got the SuperDrive, you will have to buy an external optical drive

  • Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect. Backup and Restore function not working. "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID"

    Not able to sign into Blackberry Protect.  Backup and Restore function not working. Message is: "Your device isn't associated with a Blackberry ID."  My Blackberry Messenger and Blackberry World is working fine so I am sure its not an ID issue on the phone.  I can sign into Link, Blackberry.com and Protect.  I see my device in Protect but cannot send messages or view it on a map.  Times out with cannot reach device message.  BB Protect on Device has a swirling circle beside the on/of switch.  Cannot turn off.  
    I have deleted Link and re-installed.
    I have reset phone to default(factory) and signed in. 
    OS level is 10.2.1.3062
    BB Link is 1.2.3.56
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I managed to figure this out myself. I had to delete the device from the Blackberry Protect website.  protect.blackberry.com.  I wiped my device again and signed in with my Blackberry ID.  I dont know if the step of wiping was necessary as I did not try my backup with the current configuration on the device following the delete.  Restore is in progress for me!

  • Right click is not working in Web dynpro explorer

    Hi All,
    I have SAP net weaver developer studio 2.0.9.
    when i right click on web dynpro components, to create a component, the context  menu is not coming, right click is not working.
    though right click works fine in diagram view and outline view.
    Please suggest what might have happened? and how to get back the settings.
    Cheers,
    Srini.

    Hello Srinivas,
    Try closing and opening NWDS. If you still see the same problem, simple solution for this is, Just Change Workspace to new folder.
    Changing workspace - Window -> Workbench -> workspace -> give new path.
    Close nwds and open it again. It should solve the problem.
    Thanks,
    Sridhar

  • Right click problem: I did not know about the Yahoo sidebar issue, I have removed all toolbars from my browser from 'view' menu. There is nothing in my 'extensions' to disable. Right click is not working. What to do?

    Right clicking is not working on any of the websites. I read up that it's a Yahoo sidebar issue. But, in my extentions, Yahoo sidebar is not there. I had removed all toolbars, but from 'view' menu. Now how do I get my right click to work?

  • In "Show more Bookmarks" if I right click does not work (I want to open in a new tab)

    This is using Mac Firefox current version. I use lots of tabs and don't have space for all of them so there is a >> at the right end for clicking and displaying the rest of them. If I click and display list and highlight one of them, the right click does not work - I want to open in a new tab not use the existing - there are no menu options displayed on these tabs. The tabs across the top work fine for this

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
