Re: How do you turn off the touchpad in windows 8 - Pavilion g6. The suggestion to click the box to disable the touchpad whenever a USB pointing device is connected ONLY works for one session and is therefore POINTLESS. Apparently, one has to disable the feature EVERY TIME the computer is used. Here’s a simple tip on how to disable / enable touchpad on your laptop with Windows 10 operating system. This is handy if you already have a mouse attached to your notebook or use a touchscreen and want to disable the touchpad to prevent accidental pointer moves while typing on the keyboard.
Enable/Disable The Touchpad
Launch Settings by clicking on the app in the Start Screen or clicking on the icon on the desktop.
Launch Settings by clicking on the app in the Start Screen or clicking on the icon on the desktop.
Important: The options and tabs in Settings are model specific and you may not see all of the options in the picture above on your notebook.
On the Input tab, move the slider to On or Off to enable or disable the touchpad.

I want to disable the driver for my touchpad. It is called 'PS/2 Compatible Mouse'. If I go to properties the disable button is grayed out. English speaking course free download. There is also no option to disable in the context menu if I right click on it in device manager. A attached a screenshot of the issue below. I am using Windows 8 but I'm guessing the issue would be the same in Windows 7.

I would recommend that you look at the manufacturer's website (e.g. http://www.synaptics.com/resources/drivers ) and download a Windows 8 version - these usually have a 'disable' button or hotkey you can set which is the best solution.
If you are having no luck and as it is greyed out, you can always click 'Driver Details', see what it uses and manually delete those files - but, I highly advise YOU DON'T do this.

On my Acer laptop I simply pressed F6 and the touchpad is disabled. Somewhere I saw u needed to press Fn and then F7, but that didn't work.

It's very easy. Change the driver to another.
Click right mouse button to 'PS/2 Compatible Mouse' > choose update driver > driver from your computer (not automatically) > choose driver from list > unclick 'Show compatible hardware'..and choose another type (I chose mouse from Acer - API USB). Your touchpad will be disabled after restart of your computer. Then (for sure) click on disable driver in your device manager.
Since then everything is fine and my touchpad is disabled.

Go to 'mouse settings' in the control panel. This should take you to a box that has 6 tabs up the top. Choose the end one 'device settings' and there it is: the disable button.
