    Hi guys, to make a long story short I recently installed the mouse driver for my new razer deathadder mouse. After the installation, my touchpad stop working even though there is no mouse in the USB port.

    Try re-installing the TP driver again. If your external mouse driver is the culprit - remove it - you don't really need drivers for razers. I never bothered installing the driver for my Imperator and had no issues in games so far.
