    ::In vista there has been a huge problem with no option to disable
    touchpad. When typing the cursor will move everywhere and will mess up
    my typing. I think that part of the problem is that the driver is not
    installed but the touchpad is accessible through the external mouse
    software. After reading in forums and figuring out that no one has found
    a solution, I decided to simply go to control panel/mouse/touchpad and
    uninstall the driver for the touchpad. And then the most miraculous
    thing happened. After several restarting, the touchpad was still active,
    but a new driver was installed instead (I think the Alps XP drivers)
    which was for the touchpad automatically. It has a huge icon of the
    touchpad. If you click now on this icon, you have all of the control
    that you need over the touchpad. I cannot explain exactly how did it get
    installed, and why was it not installed before but it worked. Vista is
    mysterious!!!::
