That is just going to "hide" not to remove it.

It should work the procedure you follow, I did on My E1505.

Try this: after doing the uncheck process, immediately restart the computer, if the same happens, try to download the lates touchpad driver.

I would indeed prefer to remove it rather than hide it.

Did you downloaded the synaptics touchpad driver?

No - just the default Dell Touchpad drivers. Where can I find these drivers? Thanks

OK this is actually the version of the drivers that I'm already using.   Should I try to re-install them?

I'd give a try...

I have a Latitude D830. I'm having the exact same problem with this driver. I have also tried reinstalling the driver, but it did not fix the problem.

I'm having the same problem, downloaded the new version of Dell Quickset and the newest touchpad drivers; really annoying as heck.
