disable touch pad in acer laptop

 


ptolomeo
I have recently bought an acer laptop (with windows vista installed) and it has an incredibly sensible touch pad, so it is impossible to use it without plugin a mouse. But even with the mouse when writing a document I tocuh accidentally (very frequently) the pad and the cursor can appear in any arbitrary place of the screen.

Do you know how to disconect it so it doesn't bother me as i write a document? Or maybe to make it less sensible?

Thank you in advance for any answer.

Is there a touchpad driver tool in the Control Panel?

I've got an Acer laptop too. I need to press the 'Fn' button and hold it and then press the 'F7' button. It has blue square on it with a hand over it.

If you do it again you enable your touchpad.

If that doesn't work, there is almost always an option for it in the BIOS. Look for it when your computer boots, go in, and look for it.

Be careful what you mess with though. Erratically messing with BIOS values can mess up your computer pretty bad.

I think you meant very "sensitive" touchpad. You can actually try to adjust the sensitivity of your mouse via the control panel 1st. Just head to control panel, then select the mouse option tool and look for the touchpad sensitivity, then adjust to taste. yes i believe FN + F7 will do the trick of enabling and disabling your touchpad. My Acer notebook however automatically disables the touchpad when i plug in an external mouse Wink

Thanks for the Fn-F7 trick for disabling an Acer touchpad. Sweet! Now I have a "sensible" keyboard. Smile
