RE: synaptic Touchpad in pavillions (I have dv6253cl running vista).

Try this, it worked for me! Your settings may be slightly different. Go
into control panel / mouse/ device settings/settings/ and UNCHECK "Enable
Tapping" (this is found by highlighting tapping on left).

This disables some enhancements but it is worth it to me to be done with the
problem. Good luck! Note that with tapping enabled under Tap Zones / [various
button settings] "No Zone" does not disable button, but rather Button/
Zone/"Gesture completely disabled" does it.
I may see if I can salvage some tapping usability with a small top zone
areas for back or forward surfing, but No zone actually turns taps into mouse
buttons everywhere on the touchpad!

Still the more i play with it the more i am inclined to disable any tapping
anyway including the click lock under: mouse properties/ buttons. hope this
helps.
