Dear HP:
I have an HP EliteBook 8570w, which I must say is the most awesome mobile workstation EVER. If only I could solve one problem...

 

The touchpad BUTTONS - specifically the ones above the touchpad -  how can I disable them? I have large hands and find myself accidentaly hitting the buttons, resulting in losing entire paragraphs of text or launching programs I didn't intend to launch. HELP!

 

Sincerly,

Thanks for the link, but that site won't allow me to create a new subject, thus I cannot ask my question. Seems like nobody else has this problem.

 

What next - duct tape?

What I'd like to see is how to disable the middle button on the bottom.  Just got the laptop and I keep hitting it which switches to another window under the cursor.

Hi 

 

I have an issue with Touchpad as my daughter accidently disabled that function.

 

What happenned is that I just walked away for 20 seconds while she kept hitting the buttons continuously,  when I came back, I can't use touchpad anymore and the led light on touchpad was on.  I looked for FUNCTION + F1-12 but non of them worked. I restarted the machine, didn't work neither. 

 

Can anybody advise me how to enable touchpad again? 

 

Much appreciated,

 

Hieu

if you cant adjust any of the touchstyk action buttons to your liking.

 

you could always unplug the touch stick buttons cable. and latter on if you needed them back just reconnect the cable.
