can't switch off touch pad when typing

[sloppy samadhi]

I have an Asus 1080 and have just installed the latest Elan driver but despite checking the relevent box in the control panel, the touchpad still won't disable whenI have another mouse plugged in or I'm typing. Fn+F9 not working either. Any ideas? Win 7 32 bit.

1. Click Start.

2. Type device manager into the Search box. Click the device manager result, and the Device Manager window will pop up.
3. Expand Mice and other pointing devices.

4. Right-click the touchpad's entry. In the menu that pops up, click Disable.

5. Confirm your choice in the pop-up window

Tried this but disable wasn't an option in the menu for the Elan PS/2 port input device. Next step?

Is there a little icon in the system tray? You usually can disable it there.

Yes, just tried that. It's telling me its disabled, but the pad still functions. Weird.

That is strange. Have you updated those drivers?

I only installed this one fresh a couple of days ago, to address the problem.
