Thanks for being the only page out of dozens I have looked at, which actually tells you what you need to know to get rid of this damn useless touchpad on a Lenovo through BIOS. The problem is also windows 7, which has built in drivers and auto re-installs the damn thing. Fred…you don’t know what you are talking about.

SOLUTION. I had the same problem. Everobody talks about about BIOS modification, reinstall drivers, or unisistall Windows… blah blah. ALL LIES. Just DO THIS: goto CONTROL PANEL > MOUSE > CONFIG > VALUES > (enable “touch”, and “bottoms”), APPLY.. And ready. You can post your results here:

Once I tried to find a way to disable touchpad quickly for one of the VAIO laptops when I connect USB mouse. After I got crazy struggling with it, I’ve made this utility – http://www.averk.net/untouch.html
So far it helps not just for VAIO touchpads, but any kind of touchpad or other pointing device.

Thanks so much for posting this. I’m totally blind and don’t need or use a mouse, touchpad or pointing device of any kind. Those things are such a pain and I’ve always wanted to disable them, particularly on my machines that don’t have the nice lock button on them. I’m almost positive that accessing the bios with a screen reader is impossible but I’ll get sighted assistance to do that if this is the case.

David, I want to do what your software allowed you to do, I want to toggle the touch pad on and off as I need it WITHOUT going into the Control Panel each time to do this. Is there a way to get the software that you have on your laptop that would enable to to TOGGLE the touch pad on and off?

Or you could just disable it with the button next to the “uninstall” one in properties… (:
