Acer Aspire V3 571 :: How To Deactivate Two Finger Tap On ELAN Touchpads

Mar 10, 2015

I have been trying to find out how to deactivate the two-finger tap right click function of my ELAN-touchpad (on my Aspire V3-571, Windows 8.1), as it frequently bothers me when writing. The touchpad is located so that part of my left hand rests on it when writing. When I then try to use it with my right hand I often zoom [now deactivated] or open the context menu. I also sometimes randomly jump to a different part of the text, continuing my writing there.
 
I found several tutorials explaining how to activate the two finger tap, but none of the given solutions worked for deactivating it again.
 
What I've tried:
 
1. Going to the ELAN-options and deactivating it under "multiple-finger gestures".
The problem is that there is no field for two-finger tapping for me. I have "zooming", "scrolling", "turning", "Three-finger-Tap", and "swiping with tree fingers" [all translated from german, so they might not be exactly called that in english].
What more wonders me is that under "one finger gestures" there is the "tap" option. And beneath the tick-box to de/-activate it it says "One Finger: click/choose"; but it does not say "two fingers" for example.
 
2. Changing it via regedit
I've found sites suggesting manually changing something in the registry. However the frequently given locations of the registry does not seem to apply to my machine, so I cannot find the keys I need to change.

HP/Compaq :: Two Finger Scrolling And Three Finger Gestures (Should Work On ALL HPs With Synaptics Touchpads)

Mar 28, 2010

Two finger scrolling now works on the synaptics touchpad of my dv7
I had previously attempted to use modded drivers and other apps (none of which worked), but surprisingly, synaptics seems to have enabled it all by themselves in the latest driver, which is part of scrybe.

More about scrybe: [url]

Guide:

1. Download the ScrybeSetup.exe file from here (you can enter a junk email): [url]

2. Install the software (Make sure it installs both scrybe and the new driver)

2.1 Restart

3. Go to Control Panel>Mouse>Device Settings (Tab)>Highlight Synaptics Touchpad Vx.x> then click settings

4. Once you have the Touchpad settings windows open, you can change all kinds of settings:

Multifinger Gestures>Two Finger Scrolling (Click the gears next to the name)

Multifinger Gestures>Rotating (Click the gears next to the name)......

Lenovo Y510p P/Y/Z Series :: Elan Touchpad Two Finger Right Click

Oct 19, 2013

I recently purchased a Lenovo Y510p, and the touchpad uses the ELAN software. However, by default, it doesn't seem to allow you to use two fingers to tap for right click, nor three for middle click.

After digging into the matter, I discovered you can make some changes by installing Asus Elantech driver 11.5.0.9 to allow you to see many more options in the control panel, and I successfully changed Swapping and 3 and 4 finger touch functions.I am struggling to change the double finger tap.

Acer :: V3-551-x489 / Elan Customized Settings Reset On Startup Since Windows 8.1 Upgrade

Dell :: Deactivate Office 2007

Jul 27, 2007

I own a copy of 2007 office professional. I took it off my laptop and tried to put it on my desktop. I remember activating the software on my laptop and thought if I uninstall it on the control panel (add remove programs) I can just install it on my desktop. When I tried installing it on my desktop it tells me that the code is already been activated and gives me 30 chances to use it. How do I deactivate it and activate it on my desktop?

I own legit copy of Office 2007 Professional as I already activated it on my laptop. If need be I can take pictures of the cd's itself.

Apple :: 4 Finger Swipes On Macbooks

May 4, 2010

Once you get used to surfing the web and working on these Macbooks I find them pretty amazing. The 4 finger swipe where you can just switch between applications and screens is a really nice feature to have compared to having to move the mouse to the corners on Windows 7. For basic web surfing and switching between applications and browsers I find this feature really great to have

When someone walks in and you have something open you simply swipe 4 fingers up and your current application that is open just vanishes like magic 4 fingers back down and it comes back down again

How are you liking your 4 finger swipe feature on your Macbooks?

Dell :: M1330 Finger Print Reader

Nov 18, 2007

I recently have ordered an M1330 but I have been looking at some of the user pictures that do not have the finger print reader. Is this because it is not standard on the laptop and do you need to pay extra? (Im talking about the NZ/AUS version [url] theres no option to include or exclude it like the US site).

Also is it possible to upgrade from the LCD to LED in the future, if so how much?
