    When you boot up, go into the BIOS (F2), and you can disable it in there I believe.

    Also, if that doesn't work, then go into the Device Manager, and you can disable it from there.

    Thanks, I checked the BIOS and missed it, but I could be wrong of course. If not, I'll use the Device Manager.

    If I wanted to do that I would have bought an Alienware.

    OK let's keep this appropriate and to the point, or I'll close it. Thanks.
