I have purchased a Asus laptop with a built-in Elan SmartPad, running Windows 7. Options are selected when I leave the pointer over an item without tapping or double clicking pad. How do I turn this off, so items are only selected if the left button and/or pad is tapped?

If you are having the same problem as me, go to the Asus driver page. Type your PC model in the top left box, then select 'all' below that. Select 'touchpad' and click the latest update, install, restart, and hopefully that'll do it mate! PS: If you are not in as dire a spot as I was, you may simply be able to select control panel, ease of access, change how your mouse works, select the 'ELAN' button, then 'options' and unchecking the 'enabled' boxes in the relevent sections will work it seems, until an automatic update from ASUS is missed (which is what I think happened to me). | ||||

In your PS section you stated: If you are not in as dire a spot as I was, you may simply be able to 1.select control panel, 2.ease of access, 3.change how your mouse works, 4.select the 'ELAN' button, 5.then 'options' and 6.disable the 'enabled' boxes in the relevent sections will work it seems, until an automatic update from ASUS is missed (which is what I think happened to me). I did as you suggested and have now completely disabled my touch pad completely. There was a slight variation in point 6. To disable my touch pad I had to do this: Click on the mouse settings AT THE FAR RIGHT OF THE PROPERTIES BOX IS THE ELAN TAB Click on this tab - Click on the Stop Device Button - It asks you to confirm your action. When you do, it will disable your touch pad. Similarly, you can enable it at a later time if you want to enable the touch pad. Hope this helps, John | |||
