Disabling the "tap click" touchpad feature in Vista
I have a m1210 and the touch pad recognizes a tap on the touch pad as a click.
I disabled the feature in XP, but I cannot find the place where I can disable such feature in vista and it gets annoying some times.
(I am so used to tapping the touchpad and I do not want it to interpret it as a click)
Thanks in advance

Did you install the synaptic touchpad drivers?

Re: Disabling the "tap click" touchpad feature in Vista
One thing that keeps happening to me is when I install the Synaptics driver with the software it ALWAYS BLOCKS THE SOFTWARE at startup and I have to click in my system tray to an icon labelled "Blocked Startup Programs", Click on the Synaptics program, and then go through UAC to let it run.
VERY ANNOYING!
Anyone else having this problem or have a solution to this problem?
What angers me the most is that I can't make use of the scrolling function on the touchpad without the Synaptics software running.
Also the touchpad now clicks while I type, moving my cursor. Also very annoying and I don't remember it happening pre-Vista.

Re: Disabling the "tap click" touchpad feature in Vista
I don't have any problem with the touchpad in vista, works the same as in XP.
For the "Blocked Startup Programs" thing, you may try to install the driver using "Run as administrator". It may help, since I installed that driver using "Run as admin" and it never gets blocked at startup. On the other hand, I installed Adobe acrobat without using "Run as admin", the adobe update center gets blocked every time on start up ....
It is not a big deal, since you can always click the icon in the taskbar and choose "Run the blocked program". It's just a few more clicks every time you reboot the machine, and I am OK with it.
