Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! I am a new member on this wonderful forum. I have been lurking around, reading various threads and have fixed a few miscellaneous problems already. But my main dilemma is something which I need your expert help with.
Okay first thing first, I am working with an ASUS G74Sx Notebook, running W7 Home Premium 64 bit, with basically all Windows updates installed.
Here is my CPU-Z Validation Report - http://valid.canardpc.com/37v9in
Or if you prefer here is the SysInfo details:
OS Version: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1, 64 bit
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz, Intel64 Family 6 Model 42 Stepping 7
Processor Count: 8
RAM: 16361 Mb
Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer Inc., G74Sx
Antivirus: Kaspersky Internet Security, Updated and Enabled
And just so you know, this is the Asus page where I have downloaded my drivers from http://support.asus.com/download.asp...FmeP8fwFruEdH7

Now, here is the actual problem.
I had to re-install my W7 about a month ago. I did everything as I had before, did a clean install, meaning, I wiped my Operating System hard drive during the installation process. I downloaded my drivers as usual from that Asus website I mentioned above.
My touchpad on this laptop will not disable when I type, even though I have that option checked in the settings, and it will not disable when I press the shortcut keys (fn + f9), in fact, it doesnt even how the symbol for the touchpad on the screen when I press the combination. The other shortcut combinations work just fine. Just to try it I reinstalled the drivers for the shortcut combinations from the Asus website, but that didnt help.
Also, I re-installed the driver for the touchpad, thinking I could disable the touchpad in the properties window, but again, even though I checked that option, the touchpad did not become disabled. (This is what I mean by disabling the touchpad in properties, I followed these instructions, http://youtu.be/PDxmy0Mi2Hc)
So, I re-installed the touchpad drivers one more time, just for fun, haha and this configure button in the mouse properties window now does not do anything when I click it.

Clik here to view.
Next, I read somewhere that I could disable my touchpad in the BIOS, I found the option in my BIOS, switched it to disable, and saved the changes, my windows booted up, and to my delight the touchpad was not responsive, but there was a new problem, the keyboard became disabled as well.
I mean what the heck is going on?! What else can I do to disable my touchpad?
