I was annoyed at the same thing that is annoying you. Later, I discovered a button near the touchpad that, when pressed, disabled the touchpad altogether. Pressing it again reenabled it. I found that pressing that button was no more disagreeable than moving my hand from a regular mouse to a keyboard. Pressing the button again was no more inconvenient than moving my hand from keyboard to a regular mouse. You may wish to inspect your equipment for a button that might disable/reenable the touchpad. Mine had a little blue light. -Neil ====== Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are truth, and his ways are justice; and he is able to bring low those who walk in pride.
