Portege R830 - Can't turn off touchpad

Hi, strange issue. But cant turn off the touchpad on a Portege R830 (Windows 7 32bit). I have seen this problem on both of the machines I have. This has never been an issue for the Tecra models I've had, M5, M9, M10, M11, R840 etc.
I have the latest Alps driver installed, from Toshiba.co.uk. I have tried the button on the touchpad, this does not work. The Alps device cannot be disabled from Device Manager. I have tried the Toucpad properties from the System Tray, Advanced Tab, Advanced Settings. This does not have a simple "turn off touchpad" setting. It does have an option to turn off the touchpad when using a USB mouse - however, this also does not work.
Can anyone help with this? The only other option I can think of is the BIOS, but this would not suit my users, who may want to switch it back on again at some point while running Windows.

Hey,
Yes you can disable the tapping function in mouse settings. Navigate to control panel > Hardware and Sound > Mouse > Advanced > Advanced feature setting and uncheck the tapping function.
The user Xardas did post some screenshots in another thread how to do this:

The last screenshot shows the window where you can disable the tapping.

How can I turn off touchpad tap click?

I need to turn off the tap click on the touchpad of my dv4. I turned it off when I first got the laptop a little more than a year ago, but apparently something in a recent upgrade turned it back on. There is no icon in the task bar to change the properties like there was before. There is nothing under mouse properties related to the touchpad or tapping. I don't like the tap click. It really messes me up when I am typing. I know I can easily turn the touchpad on and off, but that is not a good solution.

The Touchpad on my HP Mini 210-1015TU is a nuisance when I am typing so I had it disabled. For some unknown reason it has suddenly been enabled again. Can anyone please tell me how I can DISABLE THE TOUCHPAD so I can use the normal mouse via the USB port. Thanks!

Can't turn off touchpad on DV6

I have a dv6 6c35dx and after upgrading to Windows 8 the touchpad could not be turned off by double tapping the top left corner( Where the little square is) even after installing the drivers. Help?

Hi AKenshin,
Sometimes it is more like a double "squish, squish" - a pretty firm double tap motion. You do not want to smash the TouchPad; it does sometimes take a bit more than a light, casual, "There you are, nice little TouchPad" kind of tap.
You can also opt to have the TouchPad turn itself off when you have an external Mouse connected - very nice
TaskBar > TouchPad Properties > ClickPad Settings >
OR
Control Panel > Mouse > ClickPad Settings >
CHECK "Disable internal pointing device when external USB pointing device is attached"
You can opt to have the TouchPad set less sensitive when you type
TouchPad Properties > TouchPad Settings > Smart Sense > Click Settings Wheel > Set desired levels and areas
Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad (Windows 8)
Dragon Notes:
To get to some of the features in the TouchPad, you need to open the TouchPad Properties from your Taskbar and then click on that feature to activate that menu item. Once the item is "highlighted", sometimes a "spikey blue wheel" will show up just to the right -- this is the "settings" for that TouchPad feature. Clicking on the Settings wheel will open the feature settings options so you can set the actual features AND get a bit of help on that feature.
Good Luck!

Cannot turn off touchpad on Qosmio F series

I'm reinstalled windows from backup DVD. Now I can't turn off touchpad after plug-in USB mouse. What I need to do?

All you must do is to use FN+F9 key combination and choose option DISABLED. You can also check Mouse properties. There must be the same option too.

Keyboard backlight can't turn off automatically

Keyboard backlight can't turn off automatically on my MBP Retina after I installed mountain lion. It worked fine before I upgrade OX10.7 to 10.8. How can I fix it?

Ah sorry didn't notice you have XP. Power Plan Assistant is for 7 and Vista only. FYI I've been searching for the working solution days and nights before found the Power Plan Assistant software... I have to tell, there seem to be no other workarounds if you want to keep Bootcamp.exe in RAM. If you kill it, remove it from startup items in registry and reboot, there will be no keyboard backlight (pros), but as well no hardware controls at all, no delete key, no multitouch function of touchpad, etc... (idea-killer cons)

How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

Dear Colleagues,
I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
Now we need to develop our own security module.
I have 2 questions:
1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

hi,
1.You can write your own realm in 61 which can plugged for your security
calls.
2. once you write your ownrealm.. you can access it through weblogic
api/ur api..

There is no power switch. You cannot turn off your Apple TV. You can only put it in standby (sleep) mode. To power the unit off your only option is to pull the plug.

Once I have synced my Google calendar to iCal, can I turn off syncing and save all info in iCal?

I have been using Google Calendar, and syncing info from it to my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now that all the info I originally entered into Google Calendar is on my Apple devices, can I turn off syncing it and save all the events, birthdays, etc. that were put into iCal up to this point? I have only been adding to my iCal via the Mac, iPad or iPhone for several months now, so it seems silly to keep using Google Calendar.

Unless you have backed up your iCal data, there is no way to retrieve the now missing data. To easily back up your calendar data, simply choose the Back up Database… option under the File menu in iCal.
Microsoft cautions users that deletion of the Entourage calendar in iCal—without first disabling the synchronization function with Entourage—will result in exactly the outcome you see.
If you have not subsequently synchronized with .Mac since you deleted the iCal calendar, you can selectively restore calendar files as a collection of calendars from .Mac by using the Reset Sync Data… option in the .Mac preference pane by launching System Preferences, pressing the .Mac icon then the Advanced tab, and waiting for your client list to update. Once you've done that, press the Reset Sync Data… button, choose Calendars from the drop down menu and pick the option to replace the data on your Macintosh with data stored on the .Mac servers.
