asked on Disable mouse pad on a Dell Latitude
Hi
I have a Dell Latitude. What I want to do is disable the touch pad when I have a mouse plugged in. I previously had XP on this machine and was able to do this - I think it was via a Touch Pad tab in the mouse settings. However since I upgraded to Windows 7 the Touch Pad tab isn't there.
Any ideas how to do this?
Cheers

I tried the link but when I tried to install got the message 'could not find OS specific setup program'. I am on W7 64 bit - is that causing the message?
Hi,
Which model latitude do you have?

You could always disable it in the device manager.
You can also try installing the Synaptics reference drivers.
