    upgraded to Windows 7 so the default of disabling the touchpad if a mouse is connected no longer applies, but that is what i want to do.

    any help?

    fixed.


    found the driver in moo's thread (link is dead) but wasnt difficult to figure out. Once installed it auto disables touchpad if mouse is installed. /cheer i can type again without skipping all over the place.
