Hi Maria, Thank you very much for your reply. In this case, the function key + F8, works as a toggle to turn the mouse / touch pad on & off. There are probably options in the control panel or system tray as well but, my friend hasn't gotten that far with his new laptop yet! Thanks again, take care. Mike

On mine there is an itty bitty button right behind the mouse pad that turns it off. Also I can go to my system tray and turn it off from there. I have Windows 7 on a Toshiba laptop. You might look for something like synaptic pointing device.
