    Well i am running Windows Vista Professional 32-bit on my Alienware Area-51 M15x, i called alienware and as usual, they "aren't allowed" to provide me with ANY support on THEIR product because my warranty has expired. Alienware support is very noob at life. I need to know how to know how to get the touchpad to function when i am also using a usb mouse. I pressed Fn+ T-PAD but that only turns the lights around the touchpad on. I need to know how to get both the touchpad and the usb mouse to function at the same time. Please help me, thank you! :D

    If you have Alien Touch in your Command Centre, you should have an option in there to Enable/Disable the touchpad when a USB mouse is attached.
