    Hello Everyone,
    I apologize for the simple question. I am looking for a utility that disables the touchpad when a mouse is connected. I had used one before but some problems with my G73JH had me update a bunch of things and now this touchpad is driving me crazy.

    If you have synaptic software installed, some older versions let you disable it - control panel - mouse -....
    I know chastity posted a mod if this option is not available in synaptics but I can not seem to find it now.
    Or if you have ATK drivers installed Fn F9 will do it
