RE: Touchpad
I'm just thinking that if you go to hardware profiles (right click on my computer and properties), then go to the ps/2 port or the ps/2 mouse (possibly labelled as the Touchpad if you have the correct drivers) and double click on it and go to disable or click off enabled by default at the bottom of the box (I'm not sure how they phrase it, but I'm fairly sure it's there) windows shouldn't go looking for another one, because it's already detected, but it shouldn't load it either.

Re: Touchpad
Heh :) I want to disable it since it is in the way sometimes. if you find out how you managed to turn it off tell me ;) /Gabriel Kihlman "Hanczaruk, Mark" [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I have an Inspiron 7000. I tried to install Windows NT 4 and Linux on my machine and no matter what I do I cant get my touchpad to work. Either can I get the external PS/2 port to work yet it works in Windows 98. If anyone else has seen this or has a solution please let me know. Thanks a lot.
