Disabling A Laptop Touchpad - Software That Controls
Aug 20, 2008
i've been having problems with my touchpad since i've reformatted my computer. I no longer have the software that controls, and i've attempted to disable it and even delete the driver in Device Manager, but it just doesnt work. disabling this annoying component
I have a Dell Latitude c800 XP Laptop. The touchpad is too sensitive, I have the sound set at maxium volume some videos/programs are good at maximum volume but others I can bearly hear.
I have an Acer 2312 laptop running WXP. The cursor can not be moved by the touchpad. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the touchpad and its drivers several times wih no success. Device manager tells me everything is just fine. The cursor responds normally to my wireless mouse so I can live without the touchpad but I don't feel comfortable when something malfunctions; particularly when I don't know what caused the glitch.I have searched the sites of Acer and Symantic and found no useful information.If anyone has a clue on what the solution Is I wouldmuch appreciate hearing from you. stewart
what my setting should be for my activeX controls, I wanted to view a video on youtub but had trouble viewing it so youtub said change the setting to promt on some of the setting in activeX controls, it worked but now I been told its not such a good Idea.
I have downloaded an ActiveX control that gives me annoying popups. I have forgotten the name of the control. Here is my Hijack This report.

Running a windows 2003 Domain environment. The users on the workstations have all been Local Admins on their workstations for a while, and now I want to revoke that and make them regular users. The goal is no installation of unauthorized software, including unintended installs of malware.Problem - ActiveX on websites is simply not working. I can't figure out which GPOs to set to allow ActiveX to install/run for specific content/sites. Is there a way to use Group Policies to allow ActiveX content to run on Trusted Sites? I see tons of settings in GP, but none seem to work.

A Vostro Dell laptop protected by ESET--was apparently infected and shut down. I used a rescue disc to disable the malware, but computer would still not allow log in. Then I used the OEM Windows XP Home Edition disc that came with the computer to boot and then repair. Computer then booted and seemed to be working well. I uninstalled ESET (license was soon to expire) and installed Norton 360 and ran a comprehensive scan. Norton reported that it quarantined four files, one of them a trojan.
Computer now seems to be operating well with one exception. The malware had removed the desktop background photo. When I went to Display properties/Desktop to select a photo for display, the browse and position controls were grayed out and not functioning. By right clicking on the icon for a jpeg file, I can set it as desktop background; but I cannot control the position: center, stretch, tile.
I'm posting this as a help guide for all those out there who have had Windows explorer.exe start doing crazy things. I'm the go to guy for tech problems amongst all of my friends and I've discovered that I'm not the only person with one of these explorer.exe bugs.Firstly I know that explorer.exe is the Windows service controls the UI and allows you to browse files, have icons on your desktop and have a taskbar. However of late bugs have been appearing that are causing it to malfunction in ways that shouldn't be possible.
I just got an insprion 6000 running and the touchpad has a mind of its own, not responding well at all. I've tried to adjust in control panel w/ no sucess.
Hi. I really hope someone can help me. Today when i turned on my laptop, i found that the left button on my touchpad would not work, and neither would double clicking the touchpad. The right button seems unaffected. Unfortunately, I can do very little with my computer now, as I cannot click on anything. Using the keys, I managed to do a system restore
when i rebooted my computer, the touchpad didnt work i went into the mouse drivers and i didnt see my touchpad installed Im thinking that a virus may have knocked out my touchpad driver
have a laptop running windows xp sp1 and i recently for the first time tried to run windows update. The page it loads says "Checking if your computer has the latest version of Windows updating software for use with the website
The website uses ActiveX controls to determine which version of the software your computer is running. If you see an ActiveX warning, make sure the control is digitally signed by Microsoft before installing it or allowing it to run."
A LG netbook turned it on and the cursor is just stuck there in the middle of the screen. I don't use a mouse, just the touchpad, so I can't even attempt to do anything. Everything else seems to be working fine in the background upon boot up and on the desktop, but the cursor won't budge. Tried to open control panel but obviously can't do that with the cursor stuck. Any options the DON'T involve me having to buy a new USB mouse
I have a Dell Inspiron 4100 laptop with Windows XP Operating System. Recently, the mouse begins to move on its own without me touching anything usually the left bottom corner but it could be other directions as well. When I use the touchpad, the mouse moves but I am competing with something stronger pulling it to one side so I have trouble controlling the mouse in general. Since the Inspiron has two types of laptop mouses (the touchpad and ball), I have to use them both in tandem to actually move the mouse
I have a pavilion dv9000 notebook running XP and every time I change the pointer speed for the touchpad to its fastest setting it will reset itself to the default setting after I shutdown and reboot. I need the touchpad on its fastest setting because of the wide screen and the fact that I don't always have my wireless mouse w/ me. is having a Logitech wireless mouse installed. The setpoint.exe program for the wireless mouse runs in the background whether or not the mouse is connected.
I've got an HP Pavilion ze4400 on which the touchpad doesn't work. I can't be sure whether it's a faulty device or if drivers aren't installed. In Control Panel, under Mouse, Hardware, only one device (the USB mouse I'm using) shows up. I'm not sure what the standard touchpad driver for HP notebooks is. Going through the Add Hardware Wizard and telling XP that the device is already installed, it then gives me a list of installed hardware to select from. I don't know what that driver is, if it's even in there. what the driver is this
i just got me a toshiba laptop and i was wondering how i can disable the double tap feature on the touchpad cuz i always seem to double tap it by accident.
I have a Dell Inspiron 6000 with wonderful touchpad, which I do not want to work because I have a wireless mouse. I cannot seem to find a way to turn the thing off.
I have a client who has a Dell Vostro 2510. I installed the Alps touchpad driver which on all my other laptops has a disable tapping feature, but for some reason that feature is not present for this laptop Am I using the wrong type of driver?
My Acer TravelMate TM802LCI notebook touchpad and left/right click buttons are not responding to any user inputs. Have tried reinstalling Synaptics driver to no avail. Currently using a wireless mouse connected via USB port. Touchpad version is v5.8 and hardware properties show it is connected through PS/2 port and is working properly. BIOS shows that the touchpad is enabled for both internal and external inputs.
Dell Insprion 1200 laptop has a frozen touchpad pointer. I know this isn't the most desirable computer but she only uses for e-bay and e-mails. It was in the shop a couple of weeks ago to have the AC plug in the back of the computer changed. It seemed to work fine for a couple of days before the pointer froze. I've turned it off and unplugged the battery and AC cord, reinstalled both and turned on, pointer still frozen. I tried Fn + F9; still didn't work. I also tried system restore and it still doesn't work.
Active X controls loaded to the Windows Downloaded Program File Folder load as two individual files. A setup .inf file and a .dll of the same name instead of the standard multi-colored cubed icon that allows you to unistall the file or view dependantcies. Can anyone tell me how this occurs? FYI...This happens even after a complete recovery of the system.
Completely patched WinXP with all updates and service packs. Symantec Internet Security gives the following error: Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page. As a result, the page may not display correctly.
I checked the Symantec site for info. This led me to run services.msc, and I received the same message. I have set everything to default without result. I cannot find any useful information in the MS knowledge base or through Google.
Any ideas before I wipe out this install and start over with Fedora Core?
no IE icon on desktop or in programs. i have internet access through verizon. i recently got windows update to install IE7 in the hope that would restore the icon/program but the only way i can access the internet is via the verizon browser. i clearly installed IE7 because now the "sidebar" of my verizon browser says that "sidebar i currently not compatible with IE7...". so why can't i get the IE7 icon in my program list or desktop?
