    Have you tried Fn + F7 combo- it enables and disables touchpad.

    Yes i have and it doesnt work. im not sure if when downloading the driver its loading properly. if you click on the mouse icon the synaptics pointer device box is there but you cant do anything nothing gets highlighted etc. when downloading a driver is there some sort of trick im missing
