awptioN · June 2010

I recently had alot of issues with my touchpad, causing alot of troubles

I tried like 5 different ways to disable it already, in the mouse config, in the msconfig, uninstalled the driver, and lots more...

So im asking you guys, if you have any more ideas how to disable my touchpad

(Windows 7 64bit, Dell Laptop)

Then its safe to assume that there is no physical button to disable it? On most laptops there is. What is the model number of the laptop?

There is a easy and simple way to disable the touchpad on
your laptop.

First, turn on (or restart) your computer. When the Dell logo comes up
press F2 to open the bios setup program.

Press Alt-p three times to get to page 4. Near the middle of the
screen you should see an option called Pointing Device. Change it from
Touch Pad - PS/2 Mouse to just PS/2 Mouse (this should work fine for
your USB mouse). Then press ESc to exit the bios, making sure to save
the changes.
~Hope this help~
