    I don't use the touchpad much as i use my G73 as a desktop replacement and use a mouse i was wondering if i can disable the mousepad and buttons. When i'm typing i tend to lean on the pad and move my text. Is there a easy way i could disable it and enable if needed.

    In order for you to disable the touch pad you need the touch pad drivers >_>

    I have the 211 bios installed and because my system is running great i don't really need 213 do i. If i press fn+f2 wireless enables and disables and f3 and f4 for keyboard lights. Would that mean the atk and touchpad drivers are installed. If no where can i get them.
