Turning off tap on Synaptics Touchpad
Hi All,
I'm running Vista on a Toshiba Portege M200. The M200 has a Synaptics Touchpad. I have installed the Synaptics Vista drivers from http://www.synaptics.com/support/drive.cfm (version 9.1.0) since the Toshiba site doe not list any Vista TouchPad drivers. Two things are wrong. Firstly every time I start my laptop I get an error message "The publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this software?" for "C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTPEnh.exe. Unchecking the "Always ask before opening this file" check-box has no effect next time I restart. How do I tell Vista I want the software to run without the dialog? Secondly, and more importantly, I need to turn off the 'tap to click' functionality since I'm forever accidentally clicking things. But the Synaptics set-up utility does not recognise that I have a Touchpad. The Device Manager lists a "Synaptics PS/2 Port Pointing Device" but the Synaptics settings do not give the Touchpad specific options, like disabling tap. Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers, Tim. |

Turning off tap on Synaptics Touchpad
Here you go Bro- a year late (and anyone else who is just now experiencing this problem) In a TOSHIBA LAPTOP - When the Synaptics Touchpad stops working in Windows Vista. You should download the 'Toshiba Value Added Package' and then launch 'Flash Cards' utility. There is a setting to enable the Function Keys, and thus enable the Touchpad! Voila. Enjoy . .............................. Tim Regan;152784 Wrote: Hi All, I'm running Vista on a Toshiba Portege M200. The M200 has a Synaptics Touchpad.
