Hi list I have a dell laptop model inspiration 15-3537. I wonder if someone can tell me what hot keys should use to enable or disable the touchpad from the keyboard. Thanks in advance Anthony |

On the one I have there is a tray icon which when can set things like on or off or allow external mouse and sensitivity and how to emulate buttons either by tapping the pad or using physical buttons.

Of course the dumb method is a piece of card over the damned thing! it may be that if this icon is not there, then there may be a control panel item instead. Brian bglists@... Sent via blueyonder.

There are obviously different ways in this series of computers, presumably depending on model operating system and possibly some special editions versions now appearing as second user ex commercial use machines.

Look in the system tray for something like synaptics pointing device or
whatever is appropriate. Right single click it and look through the
multipage dialog that opens. I believe the settings are more likely to be
there than elsewhere.

The problem was because I use the sticky keys, so now when I turned it off, the fn key worked. Thanks for your help -----Original Message-----

I think I need to install the cardboard sheet method Brian suggests, because I cannot find any system setting or notification area icon relating to my touchpad.
I use an Asus gaming laptop and, reading posts from Asus forums it seems others have been frustrated by not being able to de-activate their touchpads. Anybody else with an Asus laptop found a way to deactivate their touchpad? I'd love to know! :) Cheers, Giles |
