    When i got the laptop (2 days ago), there was a button i could push to disable the mouse pad. And ive been deleting bloatware, after i finished i clicked the same button and it doesnt work anymore. Was it something i deleted?

    Thanks!

    Did you uninstall the ATK tools? Those are drivers required for the special functionality provided by the extra buttons...

    Yea, as mentioned, that bloatware is often useful programs. The only ones worth uninstalling is Norton and LiveUpdate, the rest have a use, the question is whether it'll be put to use.

    It's also on the drivers CD provided, just install the ATK drivers on there.
