Wow, haven't been on the forums for quite a while...

Anyways, i have a problem with my build in mouse touch pad in my laptop. The thing is, when i type, i ussaly stoke it with my thumb or hand which makes the cursor jump in to some random place in the text. When i start typing again i (a bit afterwards) notice the text is completly in the wrong place.

So, my question is, is there any programs that can switch the touch pad off? I use a normal mouse anyway so the touchpad seems useless most of the time...

all the laptops ive seen (from friends) had a button right next to the touchpad that disables it

My doesn't.

To turn off the touch pad, there may be an option under "mouse" in the control panel. If there isn't, go to the device manager--> "device and other pointing devices," right click on the one that represents the touchpad, and click disable.

On mine and others I have seen, the Fn button + some F key will turn it off.

Unfortunately, everything so far didn't help. Fn + F isn't working. I don't have a button disabling it next to it either. The most suprising thing is that in the device manager, i have 2 ponting devices installed. One of them is my normal mouse and the other the touchpad. Weird thing is, in the touch pad options, the enable/disable thing is shaded, can't be changed! Is ther anything else i can do?

maybe try uninstalling/removing the touchpad from device manager?

Your problem is solved HERE. Download drivers, install, reboot, go to mouse settings, select the new tab and disable your touchpad.
