    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable the touchpad on the MX7515. I always accidently click the touchpad when im typing.
    Is there a way to disable it without uninstalling the driver?

    You can easily disable the touchpad's "tap to click" option. Go to the task bar and find the synaptics icon. right click on this and you will find an option to disable "tap to click". This just means that you can still move the touchpad like a mouse, and click the buttons... but you wont accidentally click and move the cursor (i felt your pain on this one). Im not on the machine now but the icon looks like a litte square with two buttons on the bottom resembling the touchpad configuration.
