Sometimes there's a setting in the bios to turn off internal mice(equivalents). Assuming you're using another input device, and you have two entries in the device manager, you can disable one. Life can get interesting if you disable all input devices by accident. Sometimes a touchpad driver has the capability to turn off taps. Some drivers have the capability to reduce touch capability, but I don't know by how much. |

Hi there there should be a program that controls the touchpad through the
startcontrol panel venue look for the touchpad icon which normally combines the mouse movement as well, you should be able to disable the touchpad from there, or is here a function key with the top row flu to f12 to enable/disable this function.
