Windows 7 script for disabling input controls

[chatumao]

hello there!

i am new here so please be kind!

i have a little problem with my panasonic cf-18 digitizer. i am running on win7 ultimate.
when i close my lid, it seems like an installed pcmcia card is causing interfernces which win7 interpretes as a digitizer input. the pen cursor is flickering in the top left corner of the screen (the part that is directly over the pcmcia card ( a bluetooth/usb combo by AKE, some cheap stuff but the only one i could find to fit smoothly in the machine to enable me to close the hatch))
Also this behavior leads to a 'click', which causes multiple executions of whatever is in the way. since there is a sensor for the lid when closed/opened, i was wondering whether it was possible to make a script telling windows to deactivate digitizer when shut/activate when open.

is something like this generally possible and if, could someone help me out here a little. unfortunately i don't know nothing about coding myself.

thanks in advance

edit: one more thing: can such interferences cause any (hardware)damage, apart from software malfunctioning due to uncontrolled programmexecution?

Hello and welcome to the forum! It sounds like you're facing an interesting issue with your Panasonic CF-18 digitizer on Windows 7 Ultimate related to interference caused by a PCMIA card, resulting in erratic behavior with the pen cursor and unintended actions. To address your concerns and potentially create a script to deactivate the digitizer when the lid is closed, you might need to explore a couple of solutions: 1. Power Management Settings: - Check if there are advanced power management settings related to the digitizer or touch input device in Windows 7. You might be able to configure it to disable when the lid is closed and enable when it's open. 2. Scripting: - Writing a script to specifically disable the digitizer when the lid is closed and enable it when opened would require a good understanding of scripting. This script would need to interact with system settings and drivers, which can get complex. 3. Third-Party Tools: - There might be third-party tools or utilities available that can help manage hardware components based on certain conditions like lid status. These tools might provide an easier solution without the need for scripting. In regards to your question about potential hardware damage, interference caused by the PCMIA card is more likely to lead to software malfunctions rather than hardware damage. However, if the interference is extreme, it's possible for repeated unintended actions to stress the components involved (like the digitizer), but this is less common. If you're not familiar with coding, the scripting approach might be challenging. You could look for pre-existing tools or software solutions that can help manage hardware interactions based on conditions like lid status. Do you want me to look for any existing tools or software that can help manage hardware interactions based on lid status in your Windows 7 setup?
