How do I disable the touchpad on my computer?

[jefhel]

I have an ASUS and just had a new hard drive installed and cannot disable the touchpad. I have tried the touchfreeze and the FN + F3..... it was disabled before, and like several folks there is no info in control panel/mouse. help??

I have windows 7, it's a Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop, and I can't find the settings anywhere to disable the friggin' thing.

Other people have tried to help in the past by saying it's in the control settings under moue configuration. It's NOT there. I've searched for it and it's nowhere to be seen.


Can anybody help?





bty, my thumb touched the stupid pad even while writing this and made my start typing over what i've already written. Which is exactly why I hate the stupid thing.

I had the same problem with my ACER Aspire. Went to Google and found hitting
Fn + F7 is the way to turn it on/off...my connection is so slow I couldn't look up for you, but try searching google for your way to turn on/off
