For certain Elan "smart pads", you need to set the registry key values DisableWhenType_Enable
and DisableWhenType_DelayTime_Move
in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Elantech\SmartPad\
, to 0
with Regedit.
A reboot is not required, but you might need to go into the mouse settings panel, and toggle a setting, so you can click Apply
. This will cause the touchpad driver to reload the settings from the registry. Alternatively, you can open the Elantech properties to have the registry keys load.
If your keyboard has a key to disable the touchpad (found on many laptop keyboards), you can also press this twice to reload the registry settings!
