    I went to best buy to check out the g73 because Im thinking about buying it, though after using it, the Multitouch Touchpad annoyed me, I found my pointer finger brushing against the touchpad (I use my middle finger to navigate it) and every time happened, the multi tiuch activated and stopped the cursor making it still.
    Is there an option to disable the multi touch function so it doesn't stop the cursor when that happens? And has anyone else experienced this or are my hands just retarded? Lol.

    Thanks.

    Yeah, check the synaptic driver options in "mouse". Just type "mouse" into the search area after clicking on the windows orb. Then it's teh top right tab, then settings.

    Thanks alot, didn't have time to figure out how to do it myself while I was there (Not even familiar with Win7, since I'm still on Vista) so I was confused haha.

    Eh, 7 and vista are basically the same. What you're looking for are the two finger options. I can't tell you exactly where to look, since each driver package puts them a little differently. But once you're in the synaptic properties, you're good.

    Alternatively, there might be a little red block, or picture of a touchpad, in your system tray. You could just click on that, and go to settings.
