For the love of all that is holy and good, can someone help find drivers so I can turn off this damn mouse pad on my laptop.

I'll get the specs a bit later tonight and post them. Thing is if I install Xp I can turn off the mouse pad with the blue FN key and the appropriate other key. In W7 everything works with the blue FN key but the mouse pad turning off.

Ok I gotta go get my laptop. After I do some moving of furniture for the wife I will post back with my laptop details and we'll see if anything works here.

I figured it out. Yeehaw. Thanks to some ideas here of course. I will post where I got the drivers when I get on my laptop later but I did get the touchpad to turn off. Thanks all.

Pretty sure your link helped out alot. So did cpu-z as well.

I would have just ripped it out, lol.

[bigguy]

That was a thought believe me.

I just click a button and use my mouse. Most of the time I dont even bother with the button. But if it was me, I probably would have tossed it out the window.

As I posted here is where I got the drivers:

My laptop function buttons worked on Vista so i could turn off the mouse. W7 did not have drivers installed so I had to go on a search to find drivers to turn off the mouse pad.

I've heard a lot of stories about W7 being a pain in the butt bc of non-updated drivers.  I haven't used it much yet, but thanks for the link bigguy.

I had the same problem a while ago, the touchpad was driving me nuts..

As a temporary relief and a return to sanity until I found drivers, I taped a square of card over the touchpad..Crude but effective...
