There are sometimes dialogs from the control panel that will let one change some settings that make the touchpad less of an issue. For example, my touchpad had the feature that tapping it twice generated a left click. When using my laptop while in a car, I was left clicking all the time. I was able to turn this feature off and reduce the sensitivity of the touch pad without actually disabling it which pretty much solved the problem in my case. Where exactly one finds these settings depends upon the maker of the touchpad and can vary. I would start by going through all the control panel entries, and then check for mouse settings.
