My settings have been changed somehow.
I like my touch pad to not have the "double tap" enabled. Meaning, I just want to scroll with the touch pad and use the left click to actually click something.
I can't find how to switch it back. Help!

Could anyone tell me, please, how I could disable my touchpad. I don't need it in fact and sometimes it even bothers me. My computer runs Windows XP. Thanks in advance for your answer(s).

What's the model? Some laptops disable the touchpad in the BIOS.

Yes, I think it's my case, 'cause I cannot find a switch in the control panel. It's a Fujitsu - Siemens (Amilo).

Do you have the model code?
I've stolen this bit just so it's here - the touchpad part of the control panel, if you have the synaptec driver, is usually in
1. From the Start menu, click Control Panel. With Control Panel in Category View, click Printers and Other Hardware.
2. In the Printers and Other Hardware window, click the Mouse icon.
3. In the Mouse Properties dialog box, click the Device Settings tab, and then click Settings.
4. To modify a touchpad setting, click the + in front of the setting you want to change, and then modify the setting.
5. To save changes, click OK.

It's b199d972a9 or T2250 I think.
Well, I cannot find in the control panel -> printers and other hardware -> mouse - anything that could help me with my touchpad. In my opinion it's the case you've described - some laptops disable the touchpad in the BIOS. Thanks for your help.

I checked their manual, their driver download area, their forum - there's no help there, not even for the BIOS settings. They tell you about F2 at boot time to get into it but nothing about what's in there to change.
If it were me I'd get the vista generic driver from Drivers | Synaptics and disable it in the control panel after installing it.
