Disable touch-click on synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad

[Scanner577]

How  can I disable the touch-click on the Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad? Device manager shows the device but has no options to disable the touch-click. It's annoying. I would rather use the left/right buttons to click not the double tap.

Welcome to HP Community

Let's try these steps

1. Click Start , and then type mouse in the search field.

2. Click Change your mouse settings.

3. Click Additional mouse options.

   

4. In Mouse Properties, click the Touchpad tab.

   NOTE: Some HP Notebooks have an HP Control Zone tab. If your Notebook has this tab, open it and click HP Control Zone Disable.

   

5. Click Disable.

   

6. Click Apply, and then click OK.

Thanks for the help.In Mouse Properties I clicked on touchpad, then additional settings. In the mouse properties dialog box I clicked on settings. In there you can disable tapping, but keep 2/3 finger scrolling.

Thanks again. It works much better now.

i have a new pavilion lap top and the tap function on the keypad is driving me crazy, im deleting things i dont want to, changing pages by accident, etc etc. I read the answers to previous similar questions but my system gives different function boxes to those shown _ im told there should be simple 'disable tapping' button somewhere but it is elusive. Please tell me how to get rid of this annoying function.
