Dell Inspiron 15R SE 7520 - Keyboard and Touchpad Do Not work simultaneously
I cannot use the keyboard and touchpad at the same time, posing problems if I want to play games :(. This is a fairly common problem, but after hours of searching for a solution, nothing seems to work.
I've tried disabling palmcheck, updating drivers, changing drivers to windows 8, disabling tap to click, but nothing seems to work...
Could anyone please shed some light onto this annoying problem?
Thank you

This has been bugging me for ages, finally found a solution.
Open the registry editor ( Start > Run > regedit ) and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\services\Elantech\OtherSetting
There are two keys to change, one called DisableWhenType_AllArea and one called DisableWhenType_Enable
They will both be set to "1", double click them and change them both to "0"
exit, restart and problem solved :)

That does fix the problem, thank you. But now I lose all my zooming abilities when I put two fingers on the touch pad, etc. Are there like different types of drivers for touch pads?

Hi folks,
I just received my dell inspiron 7737 today. Ive been trying to fix the same issue with using the trackpad and keypad at the same time but it has been unsuccessful thus far. I play games and cant currently play my favourite two because they involve both mouse use and key use...I don't have a desk so using a mouse isn't easy and I consider I shouldn't have to since I paid so much for what I thought was a good laptop!
I have checked my registry and the file talked about in this thread doesn't exist.
Would anyone be able to help me?
