Synaptics installs, no Control Canel Mouse tab to disable trackpad
I took the TB mech drive out with Windows 8 and put in my own Samsung TB SSD (after shipping delayed to Friday and I had to go out and blow another $150 to buy the drive locally). I got Windows 7 installed clean on that SSD on the 17 inch Acer Aspire Nitro.
Then I go to install Synaptics from the Acer driver website (hooray for NO direct link to drivers!) and while it does install it refuses to give me the control panel tab with the option to disable the touchpad while a mouse is plugged in!
So you're going to give me a control panel mouse tab, right...?
The only software utilities I can find only disable the touchpad while typing, I need it disabled all the time unless I don't have a dedicated mouse plugged in.
I've also tried third party manufacturers, Acer's India-based tech support can't answer even the most simple questions and Google is dead set on shoving Windows 8 down my throat (I'm averaging about four - operators per search query at this point).
How do I make my computer obey?
