I am very sorry for my post was not thinking at the time i was a little on the sleepy side. I just seen that someone was having a problem and i know that this solution works for all most every laptop. Again I apologize and it will not happen again. By your response it seems that there are some high caliber folks here, you could have defiantly handle that situation different but instead kept a professional attitude. I would just like to say thanks and i will return to hopefully lend some of my knowledge.
Best Regards,

Most laptops use synaptics for the touchpads and touchsticks by default you cant disable them when you use a USB mouse. However if you goto http://www.synaptics...support/drivers and download the driver pack for your operating system you can disable the touchpad and/or touch stick. After downloading the driver of you choice you will need to restart you computer. When you computer restarts a dialog box should appear. In the lower left corner you need to uncheck the box so the dialog will not keep coming up. Then click on control panel>> then Mouse>> then click the top tab with the red Synaptics logo. On this screen you will see if you have any synaptics devices if it shows any devices then you can click on that device and disable it. There are also other options that might come in handy if you want to change how sensitive your touchpad is. You can also disable the synaptics logo out of the notification area of the task bar.
I look forward to seeing you around the Forums.
