buttons on touch pad using dell lattitude
|
Kimsan <kimsansong@...>
Hi,
Can someone who uses a dell latitude try and provide insturctions on how to disable the buttons that are underneath the touchpad. I type mouse in the control panel then forget where to go from there lol. I also went into device manager and looked under mouse and other pointing devices to see if I can disable it that way but there is only an uninstall option. The keystroke use to be alt F5 but ever since upgrading to windows eight that is no longer working. Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Kimsan,

On my Latitude I use the Fn key Plus F5 to route through the disabling/enabling choices for the touchpad and touchstick. I do not know if the buttons can be individually enabled without the touchpad. In my case, I turn off all the touch-enabled devices, as they drive me crazy.

I mistyped the keystroke. FN F5 used to work but again, after upgrading to win 8 back in October, that keystroke was no longer working. Need to figure out a quick way to enable and disable this stuff because my students use this dell machine at times. Back to google!

Strange. That key combination is supposed to be hardware-dependent and not affected by any operating system. you sure that it used to work on your Latitude? What model do you have?

I'm positive that it used to work. As a matter a fact, all of the other combinations with the fn and function keys do what it suppose to do accept this one. I can't seem to find a way to disable this darn thing lol. I was told from someone that I might have to install something called the del quickset.

You didn't answer my question about the Dell model that you have. In any case (see my model below) I don't have the Dell Quickset installed,but do have the ALPS Pointing Device driver installed. But I don't know if that driver carries the capability of the Fn key + F5. Sorry to hear that it no longer works. Makes it tough to switch quickly.

Lisle, Ted (CHFS DMS)
Dell's keyboards can be odd. Our office models do not support the key combo for alternate say all; gotta be a BIOS thing. I've thought about remapping, but it really doesn't seem worth the trouble, and I know from past experience that can be weird too. We used to have keyboards with USB ports on them--totally useless, wouldn't even support a flash drive. I doubt I'll be buying Dell stock any time soon.

Then I'm further stumped. The E-series do have the Fn + F5 capability and for anything to overwrite that is to me, a dastardly crime. Suggest you do contact Dell support and ask them why Windows 8 would do this to you.

Yes, I have one of those Dell keyboards at home, and the USB ports are good for a mouse but I agree that they are not fast enough to support a modern flash drive. I have however used them with my JAWS Dongle. Dave Carlson Tastefully composed and launched near the Pacific Ocean using a Dell Latitude E6520, JAWS 14, and Windows 7 Professional 32-bit

Our office models do not support the key combo for alternate say all; gotta be a BIOS thing. I've thought about remapping, but it really doesn't seem worth the trouble, and I know from past experience that can be weird too. We used to have keyboards with USB ports on them--totally useless, wouldn't even support a flash drive. I doubt I'll be buying Dell stock any time soon.

Do the other function keys work as expected, or did Windows 8 reset them to the music settings? If that's the case, will f5 by itself turn off the stinker? Do you need to look at the windows Mobility Center and change the fn keys from music to whatever the other option is???
