On my Dell laptop there is a flat "button" in the part of the keyboard above
the F keys. It brings up the Windows Mobility Center. I Shift twice to get
to the button to turn the mousepad on or off. The first shift tab takes me
to a Help button and the second is the touchpad which is the last in the
list of controls.
Alt F4 shuts the Windows mobility center or you can press the flat button at
the top again. The button to open it is the first flat one on the right
side at the top of the keyboard.
I would prefer a way to use just the Function and F5 key, though. So far
the only special key combinations I use are the Function key with the F11,
F12, and F13 to lower, raise or mute the volume.

hello Charles;
I assume your using windows 7, and, I'm also assuming your using synaptics
mousepad drivers,
try the following;
Try typing,
Mouse in the start menu edit box,
Now enter on the first entry,
Which is simply mouse,
Now shift+tab=buttons tab,
Now right arrow until you hear;
Device tab,
Now tab and make your changes,
you should hear something like, disable button,
And then tab okay enter.

Hi There,
Could you please be a little more specific as to what you downloaded and
from where? I have the same issue, with the touchpad driving me crazy as it
gets in the way when I am typing. A means of using FN F5 to switch it on and
off would be great, as I have sighted family who use my DELL 1537 laptop
with the touchpad, as well as myself, hopefully, without it. When they wish
to use it, it is a simple question then of a keystroke in order to enable
it.
Merry Christmas to all on the list.
Charlie.

Hi,
So, I went to the dell site, downloaded something under the input category
and now I can do the fn plus f5 to mute and unmute my touchpad woohoo!
Now, next, all I need to do is figure out why my internet connection keeps
dropping on this machine.
Thanks to everyone for their patience and for those who took the time to
read and respond.
I will overcome this! Lol.
