I don't know what OEM drivers are. I just plugged in the mouse and it
worked!!
Hi:
Drivers are the connecting software between an item of hardware such as a
mouse and the operating system. Windows comes with basic drivers that will
allow a mouse or a touchpad to work with basic functions. If you go into
"Control Panel" and click "Mouse" you will find basic settings to adjust a
mouse.
In those settings I cannot see an option to turn off a mouse or touchpad.
Laptops will come with enhanced Touchpad drivers that allow you to have more
options. Those are OEM drivers and can be located in the recovery set that
came with the laptop. When you have these OEM drivers installed, and you
click on "Mouse" you will find a number of extra settings. You may find one
that will allow you to shut off the touchpad. Sometimes you will find a
separate touchpad operating folder that will have settings.
My Toshiba allows for shutting off the touchpad and my HP had a switch right
on the touchpad.
If your OEM touchpad drivers are not installed or are corrupt you may not
have full control. First thing is to poke around in the mouse settings or
look
for touchpad settings and try to shut off the touchpad. To go any further
we would need to know exactly what controls are on your PC.
