Laptop Mouse Thing

[sTrAnGeFrUiT!]

I own a dell C600 Laptop
its got a touchpad but aswell as that its got a little finger thing in the middle to move the mouse aswell (sorry about the poor discription not sure whats its called)

This little finger thing has got a mind of its own and goes all over the place

Does anyone know of anyway to turn it off

Thanks!

from a quick google search i assume you mean the dot in the middle of the keyboard?

its number 16 on the diagram "track stick"
ok this might be it

scroll down to Controlling the Cursor,under that section it tells you how to disable the track stick.

just click on the controlling the cursor at the top of the page and read the instuctions on how to disable the nipple also known as a track stick.
its odd that sometimes the dell website is useful=D

Install the Synaptics Touchpad software, you can disable it in there (was the same idea on my C640 I think..)

i happens on my c610 aswell it seams to be a problem accross the c series range and it is very annoying. i ended up unsoldering the contacts from mine at the bottom in the end.

DellNips are awful, so many of them here at work have been disabled or moaned about. One guy's got 3 monitors and if the pointer goes walkabout, he can't find it.
