Hi, this is very similar to my friend's Equium then, so try that Douglas. Good luck.

Hi Douglas, I've looked at the manual, but while the touch pad is mentioned, it doesn't say how to disable it. However, I also have a Toshiba Satellite, albeit an S2450-110, and this is done via Mouse in Control Panel. In the Mouse Properties dialog, there is a tab labelled "TouchPAD ON/OFF" which simply has two radio buttons - Enable and Disable - plus an OK, Cancel, Apply and Help button. There is also a "Device Settings" tab which lists my "Synaptics TouchPad V5.9", and that has a disable button. However, if you have by any chance re-formatted your Toshiba, and NOT used the recovery disks together with Toshiba's utilities, you may well find these items are missing. You can download the "TouchPad ON/OFF" utility from their web site, but you will need to know if it's the PSAC0 or PSAC1 version of the A120-186 which you have.

I have its manual in pDF format (I could send a copy off list if that would help), but it seems to cover a range of models and says that some of the things it describes may not apply to all models. The term "Tecra" also occurs from time to time - I don't know what that is. As you may have seen from my reply to Chris, he thinks that I am almost there- but!
