    And I don't know how to. When im typing, my touchpad moves the mouse and kind of clicks away from a text box that I'm typing in which is very annoying.

    I have a Sager NP 9170 P170EM

    So, I need to know how to disable:

    Touchpad (not the fn shortcut either, control panel's mouse settings won't let me disable it either)

    Sleep fn on the F4 key. (this is a serious flaw with this machine, why put the sleep shortcut right next to all my audio shortcuts???)

    Thanks in advance guys.

    There are programs that allow you to remap keyboard keys. Is that what you want?

    You can try third party software like Touch Freeze

    go to:
    Control panel-->Hardware and Sound-->Power Options-->Choose what the power buttons do
    there you are :thumbsup:.

    not really, maybe as a last resort.
