XPS 1530 - How shutoff mouse touchpad and is Fingerprint reader any good? Dell Laptop
Shut off Tough Pad Mouse?
Got laptop in June 08 and I may be hitting the touchpad with my wrist when I am typing. It really messes up my emails in in Yahoo mail. For some reason the cursor may jump while I am typing. Perhaps since I am a poor typist I am hitting something else instead like the Tab, Windows logo, Alt key or other keys on laptop.
Is there a quick way to shut off the touchpad as I use an external wireless (not bluetooth) mouse anyway?
Finger Print Reader:
Not sure if I should set this up or not. The service that is currently running is upeksvr.exe. However the question is if I register my fingerprint and set up other websites to key in password automatically, I DO NOT want more overhead in terms of new services running.
Anyone know if any other services run in background besides the upeksvr.exe??
Thanks so much
Peter
Notes on laptop:
-Nice laptop
-Hate Vista like a lot of people.
-Horrible speakers-think back to 1960 transistor radio.
-LCD screen faulty upon arrival but these things happen-was replaced in 2 days.
Webcam horrible unless you are in bright lit room and record and 320x220 (640x480 or above introduces lag that is unacceptable).

mine does the same thing on my touchpad. I think you can adjust the sensitivity of the pad and it may help.. I just curse and have to retype.
My fingerprint reader works flawlessly. I just use it to sign in computer tho. Havent tried other programs, I use form fill. windows live version. Keeps all my logins and passwords.

Touch Pad
In your tray you should have a mouse pad icon;
Right click on it and select touch pad properties.
Click on device select. You can enable or unable it or enable the button - or you can select to automatcally disable it if it detects a mouse.
Hope this helps

Have you tried disabling the touchpad in Device Manager?
Control Panel > System > Device Manager > Mice and other pointing devices > Synaptics PS/2 Port Pointing Device?

No way to disable touchpad like you can other devices. Does not allow it.
But thanks
