Touchpad functioning again after it was disabled

[noclueblue]

I have more trouble w/ the cantankerous contraptions. I had a pro come in and disable the touch pad on my Lenovo Think Pad Edge E545 and now it's mysteriously functional again. Plain English, how do I disable it?

Hi ... Go to the Mouse in your Control Panel there you should see an Ultra Nav Tab should be able to disable it there ...

If that does not work check the BIOS ...

I found an HID-compliant mouse and a PS2 compatible mouse. And in the BIOS, I have no idea what I'm looking for and not sure how to get there.

Under the Mouse Property's / Device Settings is there any Disable there ? ...

I really can't work this way. I'm an old fuddy-duddy w/ a hopelessly scattered brain due my tumor. I write and I'm a struggling game designer, Polyhedron Games LLC. I used to be a fairly knowledgeable geek (I built 5 websites) but now I am just a nerd. I'm not real comfortable in Dallas and my function level has gone way down. Most of my work is on my desktop and I can't get online. My right hand is partially crippled it's hard to type w/o nudging this touch pad. These machines are so damned sensitive all the time and I'm pretty clumsy especially trying to move into a 2 bdrm cottage w/ a tiny backyard fm. 3 bdrm houses w/ garages.
.
They take 1/2 my income here and it's really not worth it but I can't move. I'm really trying but I'm real behind the 8 ball.

What am I looking for in the BIOS and how do I get there?

I've decided to move to Missouri but there a lot of doing.

I downloaded Touchpad Blocker.

I downloaded Touchpad Blocker.

Has that solved the issue ? ...

My woes

That stopped working to mysteriously, went to the website, DL it 2 more times and Lenovo is no damned help.

I'm in Missouri now in a nice motel, still don't have a place, my stuff is in storage in Dallas. Wish I wasn't so single-minded and could multi-task.

Broken again

This touchpad is really interfering w/ my composing text. I need it disabled and UltraNav isn't there. I think Lenovo calls it a pointing device but I can't find that either.

How about short keys? I think you have.

 

[noclueblue]

I'm really suffering from information overload. I'll have to try this stuff when I get my own place.

If you get your Function Keys working you should be able to disable it ...
