I have a wireless mouse and really have no need to enable the touchpad on my Toshiba Satellite L75-A7271.
So I disabled it via the FN+F5 keystroke combination.
ISSUE:
Suddenly while I am typing away I must press some unintended key (or keystroke combo other than FN+F5) that re-enables the touchpad -- much to my surprise and regret.
I say "regret" because I can be typing a tweet or a comment on a web page like this one and SUDDENLY another page appears or the current page gets overwritten and I LOSE ALL MY TYPED DATA. Ugh!!
Anyone have a clue as to what may cause the touchpad to suddenly re-enable? It would be greatly appreciated.
Hope you all had an enjoyable Thanksgiving with minimal political arguments and lots of yummy leftovers.
