Turning off the touchpad on my Probook 640

Hi,
I'm running a recent windows OS and I can't disable the touchpad.....the thing is unusable while it's on...it's far too sensitive.
I've seen the info about the light on the touchpad...that hasn't worked.
When I click into "Mouse" I don't get an option to "disable" the PS/2 ...I can "uninstall"  via the device manager which works but keeps turning itself back on!
It's driving me insane...please help!

Hi,
Your machine has On/Off button as shown:
Please use your finger touch (or quick double touch) to the area (#3 above) to turn On or Off the touchpad.
Regards.
BH

  • Can't turn off the touchpad using the double-touch gesture

    I just bought HP 1000-1b09AU Notebook PC. And I think the touchpad on/off (button?) is not working. I know how to turn on/off the touchpad, it is by doing double tap/touch on the turn on/off area of the touchpad.
    I don't know why it's not working, since I've already installed the driver of the (Synaptics) touchpad. How do I resolve this? Help me, please.

    @Bill468 
    It is not an issue of whether double-tap is the method to toggle it on or off, but rather whether that guesture or method has been disabled, preventing it from functioning, which is why I was asking you to be sure the various gestures were not disabled.
    At this point, if you have already verified that the relevant gestures are enabled, then it may be best to call our technical support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region.

  • HP Z Book 15 Turn Off the Touchpad

    My touchpad drives me nuts. Where I hole my hand while typing constantly makes the text jump to other areas and I find myself typing 2 paragraphs up. Love the laptop but ready to toss it over this ebcause I can't get anything done. It says to double tap the top left to turn it off....well mine doesn't do that. I have tapped this thing everyway possible and I have never seen a light come on. All the Help sections say go to Synaptics...but my computer does not have this tab. I just got the computer so you would think it would have the latest everything. Is there any way to turn off this touchpad??????!!! Again..going to Devices does not work...there is no "Synaptics" tab..there is nothing that says touchpad...I just want it disabled forever..please help before this thing becomes an anchor and I go get a Mac!

  • How do you turn off the touchpad when playing a fu...

    I've had my N97 Mini for a while now. Its pretty good overall but I've encountered one constant problem that keeps occurring when I enter a full screen game. I've recently installed Real Football Manager 2010 by Gameloft, the game is made for n97i and is suppose to be played full screen. When ever I start the game, a annoying touchpad pops up and blocks half the screen. How do you turn this off???? Is there another way to solve this problem???

  • Windows 8 "Turn off the display" setting not working

    Hi all, I've got a TP W520 which I upgraded to Windows 8 with all updated Lenovo packages including the power mgt driver, Lenovo settings dependency package, and the newly installed Lenovo settings metro app. I'm seeing the following problem when trying to set a time for the monitor to shut off under Control Panel -> Hardware and sound -> Power Options -> Edit plan settings: - If I set any time other than never for "Turn off the display" such as 1 hour for example, the monitor will get turned off as soon as the screen-saver launches from the Windows 8 Lock Screen. - I'm not seeing this same behavior if I let the screen-saver launch while sitting at the desktop screen, problem is only seen from the Windows 8 lock screen. You can test this as follows: - Set "Turn off display" to any time i.e. 30 min - Change your screen-saver to launch after 1 min to test this - Type ctrl-alt-del then click lock to enter the lock screen, then let the screen-saver activate after a minute. - Once the screen saver tries to start, in my case, I see the monitor getting turned off and the screen saver doesn't even start. The monitor shouldn't get turned off until 30 min elapses. I'm suspecting some kind of bug with this which is still outstanding and I look forward to feedback from others on this issue. Thanks, John

    Hi,
    Power Button Lockout is displayed.
    The monitor's Power Button Lockout function is enabled.
    Press and hold the Power button for 10 seconds to unlock the Power button function.
    If the above doesn't work then try a monitor reset.  Unplug the monitor’s power cord and hold down the monitor’s power button for 30-60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and power it up.

    How do I turn off the feature that allows the duplication of App downloads to more than one phone? As in my wife downloads an app and I get a dulpicate download on my phone.

    To disable that feature it will depend on whether or not you sync everything in the cloud using Apple's iCloud, OR if you both use the same desktop/laptop computer with iTunes. Here is a link to the Apple support page in regards to the automatic download feature included with your iPhone and corresponding softwares such as iTunes.

  • FAQ: UI - How can I change the color theme, size of the text, or turn off the application frame?

    CHANGING THE INTERFACE COLOR SCHEME:
    The Photoshop CS6 default interface is dark, but if you prefer the lighter interface you are used to from earlier versions,
    you can change it back in the appearance area. There are 4 default color themes.
    Mac          Photoshop > Preferences > Interface
    Windows   Edit > Preferences > Interface
    CONFIGURING LARGER FONTS:
    For those who need larger fonts, you can also change the UI Font Size down in the type area.
    Be sure to restart Photoshop to see the changes.
    TURNING OFF THE APPLICATION FRAME
    CS6 opens now by default in "Application Frame". You can go Window>Application Frame in the main meu and uncheck this

    Select the title / text and then click on the "i" (inspector). A colored pin wheel shows up after you click on the square box directly below the font settings inside the inspector window. Then simply drag the dot to the color you want. Like this:

    New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
    You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it.

    This the Activation Lock. Read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    The only way is to login to iCloud with your computer browser and wipe the iPhone.
    If you can't then you have a brick, Apple won't help and AL cannot be bypass.
