I am running Windows 7 Home Premium on an HP Pavilion dv6 notebook. Until recently on startup the touchpad would be disabled automatically on startup if my USB trackball was connected. This no longer is the case; as a work-around I have added the Synaptics shortcut to my startup folder, but this leaves the Synaptics Touchpad Properties window oopen, and requires manual activity to close it.
Prior to adopting the above work-around I found that opening Control Panel and searching for 'touch' returned the Synaptics TouchPad V7.5 icon with the following three sub-links:
Settings;
Profiles; and
Info
The first time that the 'Info' sub-link is clicked disables the touchpad, and nothing else. Subsequent clicks displays the following info:
Synaptics Gesture Suite
SGS Version: SGS 11.4
TouchPad Series 2.0 - Profile Sensor
Driver Version: 15.3.29 13Oct11
FW Version: 7.5
Scrybe Version: Not installed
Interface: PS/2
Windows Version: Windows 7
Dragging the 'Info' sub-link into the startup folder produces the same results as draggng the Synaptics shortcut -- it disables the touchpad on startup but requires the user to manually exit the Synaptics Touchpad Properties window.
Any guidance towards re-establishing the original configuration will be deeply appreciated.
