Many modern Windows laptops have Precision Touchpads. If you disable tap-to-click, you can still click by depressing the trackpad or pressing the buttons on it. This option is relatively easy to enable and disable, although it’s in different places depending on the touchpad hardware your laptop manufacturer included and how they configured it. Generally, you can tap with one finger to left-click and tap with two fingers to right-click. If the conversion to Win 10 goes pear shaped then you have 30 days to use the built in Windows tool to go back to the previous operating system.Different Laptops Have the Option in Different Places I usually counsel my customers to make sure their machine is running fast and sweet with no problems prior to emabarking on the upgrade to Win 10, rather than regarding the conversion to be a fix for current problems. photos etc (but make sure your back ups are good before proceeding just to be on the safe side!) Maybe there is more going on in your computer that is giving you these headaches.īefore getting involved in Win 10 I would be inclined to try a "refresh" of your Win 8/8.1. I don't really understand how at some times disabling the touchpad via Control Panel just doesn't work but at other times it does. (having torn their hair out over these sort of issues) Hi denno, glad to see you have retained your sense of humour during all this!, I guess most folks would by now be completely bald Think the computer really did not like my uninstalling the TP, but I don't know why. I take note that it would be CHURLISH of me not to make a donation to WTT under these circs!īTT, Firefox has done some NR previously. Perhaps you will redirect me to the correct department. Trying another reboot, but have retreated to the desktop. Then Firefox became Not Responding and stayed that way. I rebooted and started to report all this here. She kindly gave me the key to disabling the touchpad, and we parted company. Finally ran hardware diagnostic, no problems, looked around some more and told me she could fix the problem for $110, or do a year's additional warranty for $240. First she couldn't see the cursor at all.
Cursor was iffy in operation.Ĭalled up Dell. (The touchpad, BTW, was now working again).īlue "thinking" circle appeared permanently with the cursor. It booted up and began behaving erratically. It stuck in the reboot, saying there was a problem, and should it fix itself by returning to a previous working status.įirst I told it no, and it came back to the same place. I said to myself, let's just try uninstalling the touchpad and then see if I can get back in there and reinstall it using the touch screen on the laptop.
Unable to explain why I did not arrive at this easy-to-find place each time I wanted to turn the thing off.
