Can Pavilion 5460 touchpad accept single and double taps for left clicks?

[Brian Bowles]

Hi all,

I just bought this HP ze4560US today and I really like it a lot. One
option though is giving me fits. My old Compaq's touch screen would
let you tap the pad for a left click instead or the left mouse button.
You could also double tap for a double click. I thought the store
display unit did this, but the one I have does not. The pad workd
okay otherwise. Please tell me the pad can take the taps and how I
might go about enabling the feature. Thanks much in advance.

I just bought the same HP laptop on the 7th and I'm having trouble
booting certain Linux distributions off CD-ROM. I've change the BIOS
boot sequences. Has anyone had trouble running booting off CDs on this
model?
thanks

Brian, I have the same computer and had the same problem to begin
with. I was able to adjust the settings by going to Start>Control
Panel>Mouse. The last tab on the top (I forgot what it's called) is
where you can adjust the touchpad settings. You want to enable
'tapping'. That should do the trick, at least it did for me.
