Touch pad disable on Inspiron 1501
Same problem but different computer Inspiron 1501 running Vista Having severe problems writing posts, letters ect because of an oversensitive touch pad. I do my pointing with a USB mouse. I have gone into device manager. No touchpad is listed only a PS 2 and a HID. mouse I read where Vista is treating the Pad as a Ps2 device so I tried disabeling them in turn. I disabled the HID and that stopped my mouse. Enabled it and tried disableding the PS2 It directs me to restart the computer but when I do it reinstalls the PS2 drivers..Please how can I disable that infernal and to me useless touch pad.. It should not be this hard!!!!!

What are the tabs under mouse?
You can use a different software to ensure that the touch-pad is not interfering when you are typing, use Touch Freeze which can do that work.

Thank you for your prompt reply I followed instructions step by st ep The symantech had two drivers only the firxt one listed confirmed installationthe first one installed I them went to the control panel and found no mention either in mouse and pointin decices and nothing recognizable as a touch pad in devices. Now how do I tell if the touchpad driver really installed, why would only one of the two install and what might I do next. Im about ready to eithr cut the wires to the touch pad or tape it over.
