    It is a ELAN PS/2 port smart pad.
    I was a little afraid to disable the driver as my husband uses the pad occasionally, can it just be enabled again when he want to use it ?

    is there not a f key that has a trackpad disabe image on it ,on my laptop it is the f8 key ,i use a mouse so i hold Fn down and press f8 to disable trackpad temporarily, some laptops you have to repeat the fn trick to re-enable the trackpad on start-up

    According to the user's manual for the G560, the keyboard action to disable/enable the touch pad is Fn+F6
    Another possibility is here:

    Hello, thank you for your tips, I have tried both suggestions. In the mouse menu with in the Elan tab it shows disabled and disabled when USB mouse is in, neither FN +8 or FN +6 work either - bless it, it is still merrily galloping around the screen.

    Then plug in the USB mouse and make sure it's driver shows up under Mouse in Device Manager.

    Set a System Restore point. System Restore Point - Create - Windows 7 Forums

    Next click on Smart Pad driver tab to Disable it and see if that solves the problem.

    According to the manual for your laptop, Fn+F6 will disable/enable the touchpad.

    Hello, yes I read that in my manual and tried it - several times, but unfortunately my machine seems to think it knows better

    Go back into msconfig>Startup or CCleaner>Tools>Startup and look for a touchpad listing that was disabled and re-enable it to see if hotkey Ztruker found for you will work.

    Righty ho, am getting desperate now, so if it means that hubby has to use a mouse so be it, I will give it a go.
