MacBookPro running Windows 7: accidental trackpad input is driving me mad
- by Ben Hammond
I am running Windows7 Professional 64bit on a 2010 MacBookPro using BootCamp 3.1.
I am using an external trackball.
When I am typing, I accidently brushing the trackpad and accidently overtyping randomly selected pieces of text. Which is driving me mad.
I have tried to install TrackPad++, but I could not get the Trackpad++ control panel to recognise that the driver software was installed.
I tried TrackPad Magic, but although it gives me a system tray icon telling me it is working, but it does not appear to disable the track pad.
A quick Google implies that there should be an option in the BootCamp Control Panel 'Ignore accidental Input while typing'.
But I can't see one of those in my BootCamp Control Panel.
Am I looking in the wrong place? Is this feature 32bit only?
Is there anything else I should try?
