    I bought a Toshiba Black Satellite at the beginning of August. At the time I got it, the touchpad, keyboard, etc. was different then my old laptop. Everytime I would type I would hit the touchpad and the mouse would jump around. I went in and disabled the touchpad usage, as long as a mouse was plugged in. If the mouse is unplugged then it's suppose to enable the touchpad. Now I'm wanting to change the setting back, so I can enable both at the same time, and I can't for the life of me remember how to do it. Can anyone help me?

    Not in front of a PC but it should be there:
    Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Devices and Printers > here right click your mouse and choose settings, the option should be on one of the tabs. ;)

    Thanks so much! Whew! I had been all over that area and had even pulled that up. Evidently I was looking for a huge sign that said enable, lol. Once I finally found it, I'm like "DUH!! It was small, but it was there." Thanks again so much, it was driving me batty not knowing!!
