Trying to disable mouse pad on laptop - HP Model dv-4087cl

HP  Model dv-4087cl   Serial CNF0446FN5  Product WQ6374A#ABA 
Hi, I am trying to diable the touchpad on the laptop.
Issue: anytime i type anything on the keyboard my wrist hardly brushes against the mouse touchpad and it completely changes the area where I'm typing and is just a huge issue.
now.... I have gone to control panel and tried to go in there and diable the mousepad, but in the mouse area there was no option to do that. 
Any thoughts? thanks for your help in advance!

Have you tried a double tap in left top corner of touchpad?

  • Mouse Pad on laptop not workign properly

    About a week ago i noticed my mouse pad clicker on my macbook not working. Only one side seems to be registering when i click on something on the computer.
    Any ideas as to what to do to fix it. I know i can use a regular mouse, but I woudl still liek to find out what is wrong with my macbook.
    Thanks.

    My mother just purchased a MacBook 2 months ago, and when I went to visit her last week I noticed that the trackpad button was doing this exact same thing! She had always said it was hard to click, but I had chalked that up to a 70 year old woman trying to figure out how to use a trackpad. Turns out, this had been going on since the beginning.
    I'm on hold waiting for AppleCare right now... she doesn't live near an Apple Store, so I'll be interested in hearing what needs to happen next. In 2 months she's already become attached to this thing, so sending it in for repair/diagnose will be difficult for her. I hope it doesn't come to that...
    I'll post any results.
    Have you figured anything out in the past few days?

  • My mouse pad on laptop computer doesn't let me use the scrolling feature on

    I am unable to use the scroll function on my mouse pad (right hand side) when using firefox. The function works on internet explorer and all other windows areas but not firefox. Is there a setting I can change to remedy this?
    thanks

  • I updated to firefox 4 on my laptop (a touchscreen capable HP tx2z) and now I can't use the scroll on my mouse pad, I have to use my touch screen to scroll.

    My computer is running windows 7, it's an HP tx2z touch screen laptop. My mouse pad scroll doesn't work on firefox 4. Also some features seem to missing such as the condensed menu bar and tab sorting that was spoken about in the introduction to firefox 4 video.

    Apparently it's related to the Firefox plug in.
    This isn't exactly a solution but more of a way to avoid opening PDFs with Firefox's plug in.
    1. Highlight "Tools" from the Menu Bar in the top left of the screen (or click "Options" if using the Firefox Compact Menu)
    2. Select to "Options
    3. Select "Applications"
    4. Look for "Adobe Acrobat Document" under Content Type and to the right under Action select "Use Adobe Reader (default)" instead of the using Adobe Acrobat in Firefox
    5. Open a test PDF. It should open in it's own window now.
    Again, not a complete solution but something that'll at least let you scroll with PDFs open.

  • How come I can no longer scroll down via my laptop mouse-pad with Firefox 4.0?

    You know how you can use the mouse-pad on a laptop to scroll down on a web-page? I used to be able to do that in in the one before 4.0, but no longer can...anyone else have this problem?

    Since today the scrolling started to work for me. Was there a fix auto installed? I havent updated anything that I know about.
    I might have uninstall an old Java JRE, don't remember when I did it, could that have done it?

  • I have inserted a mini cd in my Mac Book Pro and cannot eject it. I have tried re-starting with F12 depressed and re-starting with the mouse pad depressed.

    I have inserted a mini cd in my cd drive but the drive did not detect it; I am unable to eject the cd. I have tried re-starting with F12 depressed and also re-starting with the mouse pad depressed.
    I am in a country where I belive there is no Apple support - Azerbaijan.
    Apart from a tin opener, any other methods for extracting the mini cd.
    I only found out that mini cds are not suitable after inserting this one and then reading 2 help manuals!!!

    Take it to a place that repairs computers if you're not close to any apple authorized dealer.
    You user guide clearly states that you can not use smaller CDs in your Macbook.
    Lesson learned.  Hopefully a repair shop can get it out for you.
    Do not try to take it out yourself.  You might cause more damage than good to your macbook.
    Good luck.

  • New laptop -- Mouse pad freezes randomly forcing me to restart my computer

    I purchased my HP ProBook 450 G1 laptop one week ago.  Since then, I have noticed that each day (at least once) my mouse pad will randomly freeze up.  I try to move the mouse but the mouse will only move within a millimeter or so range on the screen.  I have to restart the computer when this happens, and then the mousepad begins to work again.   The synaptics driver is up to date (or at least it says it is).  Please let me know how to fix this. 

    Run the Firefox program once as Administrator (right-click: Run as Administrator).<br />
    If that doesn't help then do a clean reinstall.
    Do a clean (re)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * Don't remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • My mouse pad randomly selects items eg. links, text, pictures and drags, opens or deletes them. I've tried cleaning the mousepad and turning it on and off a few times.

    I believe the mouse pad is hypersensitive, but it also will click on items when nothing is near the laptop. Eg. I'm no where near it and it will play/pause/change the song in itunes.

    See if a smc and pram reset affects anything.
    See if you get this behavior if you log into another account.

  • I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?

    I have the macBookPro and the problem is the mouse pad does not work I tried everything but still does not work what should i do ?
    so i'm using the usb mouse

    I want to clarify the issue.
    The issue is with the MBP trackpad, and it works fine with an attached USB mouse.
    With some ingenuity, you might be able to fix this yourself, but I suggest visiting your local Apple Store/Genius Bar. Some have fixed this issue and have posted their results online, but the Apple Store should be your first destination.
    Post here with your results!!

  • Satellite C660 - Mouse pad constant click

    Hi,
    The mousepad on one of our C660 laptops is acting almost like the mouse pad is constantly being tapped.
    If you hover over an icon it'll open that file several times.
    If i disable it and plug in a USB mouse the issue stops.
    I've tried:
    scanning for malware
    disabling/reenabling
    uninstalling/installing
    system restore
    driver update
    Nothing helps.
    I dont know whether this is related or not but i cant get any network connectivity either.
    Connects happily to wireless but thats where it ends..
    any advice!?

    Hi
    I think its touchpad related setting.
    Go to control panel -> mouse -> Last tab (Advanced) -> Advanced feature setting button
    Here you can see the area: Delay after last key is hit. Try to set this to LONG
    Furthermore in Pointer speed and tapping settings click on Setting button.
    Here I recommend changing the touch sensitivity level to LOW
    Last but not lease you can also disable the tapping. In such case you will need to use the left touchpad button to click in the icons..

  • Mouse pad virtual wheel not working in bookmarks menu

    Hi,
    My laptops mouse pad wheel does not work in the bookmarks menu. It works fine in any other application or on the main view in firefox. I'm not very organized and have hundreds of bookmarks, it's frustrating to have to wait for the up/down buttons in the bookmarks menu to scroll.

    Maybe FCP 3 doesn't provide support for mouse wheel scrolling? I can't remember and I'm not going to install FCP 3 to test that theory.
    You should be able to at least set the MS mouse driver to perform scroll wheel functions in FCP through the MS mouse preference pane (zoom in/out for example) but I don't know if that includes scrolling.

  • HP 4420s - How to enable mouse pad ?

    Hi all, 
    I have a user that has somehow disabled the mouse pad on this unit (HP 4420s laptop). I don't have a unit on had to test what he's relaying to me. He says there is a yellow light now near the touch pad that illuminates when he is logged into his profile and the pad goes dead..also there is a screen shoot on the monitor of a track pad with a finger pointing to it with a red x over it.
    Obivously it's disabled somehow, so my question is how to enable? I've had him try (or atleast he said he did what I told him) hold top left corner of touch pad for 6 seconds and see if it enables...he said it didn't work.
    Is there any other method besides this?
    Thanks 

    I have same issue with new 4420s. Waitigfor god advice!

  • Settings for Turning Off Mouse Pad

    I have a Pavilion dv7 laptop (P/N VZ500PA#ABG) running Windows 7 and I like to use a mouse with it. I am not entirely sure what the pad thing in front of the keyboard is called (the one used when you don't have a mouse), but I want to know how to change the settings on my computer so that when I turn off the mouse pad thing, it STAYS off the next time I turn on my computer. I know it's possible to change the settings to do this, because it used to do this prior to me changing a whole heap of settings. It is really annoying that I have to press the button every time I log into Windows (if I don't, then I end up accidently touching the pad as I type and then it accidently clicks on things).
    If anyone can help me I would be most grateful. Thanks in advance.

    Bonhilda, welcome to the forum.
    In the lower right hand corner of the Tray, there is an icon "Show hidden icons".  There you will find the "Synaptics Pointing Device" icon.  Click on it and uncheck "Tap to click".  This will disable the pad.  You will have to click on the Right button at the bottom of the Pad to select items.
