HELP! DELL TouchPad Interferes When I'm Typing

Can you please help me with my laptop?

I wanted to disable the Touchpad, but there is no option for it.

It makes my cursor jump around whenever I'm typing, causing my words or sentences to either be relocated or get deleted.

There is no option to disable it. Even if I turn all its features off, they still moves and interferes.

My Info...

Inspiron 15R SE 7520
Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
I use a USB wireless mouse
Lates driver installed: Touchpad_Elantech_W7_W8_X10_A05_Setup-FHRG4_ZPE.exe

Thank you.

Dear Nikhil D,

What I followed is your last recommendation of key combination Fn + F3 and it finally did the trick.

I guess I don't need to follow procedures 1 through 18, but I'll keep it for future reference.

Kindly tell Admin to disregard my reply.

Thank you very much for your very prompt reply.
