Some keyboards may not have a key for the touchpad. If the shortcut key does not disable or enable the touchpad, go to Lenovo support website to download and install the latest touchpad driver, then retry.
Method 1: Enable or disable the touchpad with keyboard keys NOTE: According to Device Manager/mice and other pointing devices, only the Synaptics PS/2 Port TouchPad is listed.This article is about how to disable and enable the TouchPad (for ideapad/Lenovo laptops). Should I delete both items in the add/delete section, uninstall the current Synaptic touch pad driver, then just reinstall the proper Elan 32 bit driver that I got from the Lenovo site? And if so, which is the best order? Add/delete first, then uninstall the driver from Device Manager? Or the other way around? Any help would be appreciated. I'm just not sure how to go about doing that. But if possible, I'd like to be able to activate the now-greyed out Elan tab in Mouse Properties, remove the Synaptics/Device Settings tab from Mouse Properties, and activate the Multi-Finger function in Control Panel. In the add/delete programs section, there are two entries - one for Synaptics, and one for Elan.įrom a strictly practical point of view, I could just keep everything the way it is now, since the Touchpad works, along with all of the necessary settings options. The driver number listed in the disabled Elan tab corresponds to the correct number of the driver on the Lenovo site. Also, in the tabbed Mouse Properties box, there is one tab, with the Elan name and icon, that is disabled, and one tab with the Synaptics icon called Device Settings, that works fine and all options are accessible. (some of the drivers were universal for 64/32, some were specifically designed for 64 or 32, and I got all the ones for 32bit to match the OS.)Įverything is working (there are no yellow warnings in Device Manager), except for one small glitch: There is a Control Panel item/icon for Elan, called "Multi-Finger" that is totally blank when I click on it. So I zapped all of the partitions, loaded Windows 7 Pro 32 bit, and began installing all of the appropriate drivers from the Lenovo site. I decided to remove all the software and partitions that came on my Lenovo V570 laptop, and start from scratch.
