Meg - just used your technique and it 'did' come up to disable !
So - I need to get a spare 'mouse' so that if mine packs up, I can access the computer with the 'touchpad - disabled'

Many thanks

Re: Touchpad or mouse ?

I have a laptop but hardly ever use it.
Hate the pad thing, so I have a little mousie *squeak squeak*

Don't like the keyboard either.

I use small keyboards with my other computers. Can't be doin' with those great big jobbies ~ we girls often like our nice long fingernails so a small keyboard is ideal

Same here Jazzi...touchpad for me every time, I cant get on with a mouse, hubby has a wireless mouse that he uses if he borrows my laptop as he hates the touchpad.

Re: Touchpad or mouse ?

I have been using a laptop and touch pad for several years. I find it very easy to use. Now, I am not very good at using a mouse, LOL
