    touch is ALWAYS enabled and i can't seem to turn it off.
    it was turned off automatically when i connect a mouse but from today it just won't turn off.

    (Installing windows driver -> synaps.. -> other synaps -> other synaps [from a list of 'Drivers for this device']. Uninstalling driver -> reset)

    I CAN'T GET INTO THE DRIVER SETTINGS!!!!

    What happens when you uninstall synaptics? Is the touch still enabled?
