Tap to click on touchpad

[UnevenRope]

just got a pavilion dm4 laptop. is there a way to change the setting on the touchpad so it doesn't have the tap to click function anymore? It's driving me crazy....if I breathe on it and the pointer is on something that can be activated it sends me off somewhere else. I've searched all over on control panel.

Open Control Panel. In the top right corner change "View by" using the dropdown selector to see 'Small icons' rather than 'Category' Much easier to find stuff that way, now look for Synaptics where you should be able to change sensitivity of mouse pad.

the small icons helped, but couldn't find it!

Do you have an icon for 'Mouse'? If so open it and see if the settings are there. If not,you may need to install Synaptics software. Look in your Start Menu for Recovery Manager and choose the option to reinstall drivers.

Thanks so much....what a relief.   Yes it involved having to download the Alps driver, and then it showed up in mouse settings right away.

Ahh, you have Alps.Mine has Alps too but many of the DM4 series uses Synaptics, glad you figured it out.

nsbpgh,

Could you please give me the exact model number of your notebook so that I can locate the driver for you?

You can use the following document if you need assistance in finding it.
