Unable to disable touchpad on HP ProBook 4520s running Windows 7

Question

The touchpad on HP ProBook 4520s is just too sensitive. Is it possible to disable this on Windows 7.

Solution 1

From this HP hardware reference guide, "To turn the TouchPad on and off, quickly double-tap the TouchPad off indicator. When the TouchPad off indicator is amber, the TouchPad is off."

Here's the direct link to the PDF.

Solution 2

Try to go to control panel>Mouse and in advance tab Device Settings. And disable the touchpad. I think it's what you are looking for.

Solution 3

If you have the default drivers (I think from 2006) you have to update your driver for the mouse first, and then it will work with double click.

It doesn't work with the old (default) drivers.

Thanks @avirk! I just realized that the Synaptics driver was not installed.
