Hi! The only thing I could find and I do not know if this will help you with your issue! It seems if you have a mouse or external track pad you can turn off the built in track pad in universal prefs under mouse/track pad there is an option there to do it! So plug in a old mouse [if you got one ] and then I suppose you can then turn off the trackpad! hth Colin
