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.

George.

Many thanks for your help, George,  it is a Toshiba
Satellite Pro A120 - 186.

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!

Hi Douglas,

Please remind me what make and model of laptop you have.
(I
may be able to look at the actual User manual)

It is highly possible that the Touch Pad control is
actually
in Control Panel, but is listed under a different topic
than
simply "Mouse".

George.
