    Hey guys, I keep disabling my touchpad by going into Settings > Finger Sensing Pad and then making it to where it's disabled whenever my mouse is plugged in, but every now and then it just comes back on. It just did it while typing this. It's a pain in the cause if my hand touches it while typing, I mess up my whole sentence. Any way to disable it without messing something up?

    Try the Sentelic version 9.1.7.7 driver. It has a better track record on disabling the touchpad.

    Can you post a link? I tried googling it but all the seemingly relevant posts were from the RoG forums and they're down at the moment. I'd appreciate it. :D
    I did download some drivers from the asus site but I don't remember which ones they were.

    Here's a useful trick you can use when a web site goes down:

    1) Launch Google
    2) Enter your search criteria in the search box.
    3) If the web site is down, mouse over the link you desire in the Google search results and [>>] will appear to the right of that link. Mouse over the [>>] symbol and an image of the page will appear to the right. The URL will be displayed under that image with a " Cached" link next to it.
    4) Click on the " Cached" link to open a cached version of the page.

    For G74SX drivers, type "Drivers, Apps, and How-to's" into the Google search box. You'll find a link to the Sentelic 9.1.7.7 driver in the OP of that thread.

    Awesome, thanks guys. And great avatar, tijo. Man I love that game. I messed up by not using a lens on the one boss. The ruler of Nordopolica, I didn't use a lens on her copy. Ugh.

    Haha, yeah not lensing a boss sucks big time, for me it was tweedle-A and tweedle-B in the fight at Heliord. Well, you got an excuse to play the game again :p

    Hope the drivers fix your problems.
