Hello. I am having a problem with my touchpad. I want to use my ps3 controller to play ESO but everytime I plug it in the touchpad on my laptop shuts off. I need the touchpad active in order to set everything up as none of the buttons can be programed on the controller otherwise.
On other forums I saw the advice to uncheck the box "disable when an external device is plugged in" but I can't find that option either on the touchpad settings or in the control panel under mouse.
I am running Windows 7 and using a Dell Inspiron 17 5000 Series Laptop.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
 
Solution
!st go in control panel and click harware and sound beyong the devices and printers you should see mouse click it.
2nd click touchpad or buttons then select disable option next to the touchpad.
