Function key issues

[savagecabbage]

Hello,

I recently got a Fangbook Edge from CybepowerPC and I'm having trouble getting the function key that turns off the touchpad to work. All of the other keys work with the function button, but FN+F3, won't turn off the touch pad. I have tried disabling through the device manager and I can't get anything to work. Does anyone have any advice on how I could get this function key to work?

Thanks

Are you using an external mouse? Well most laptops can handle that without disabling the touchpad. On my Toshiba laptop I always use a standard mouse (hate touchpads) but I don't have to disable the touchpad. They are both active at the same time, doesn't cause any issues whatsoever.

I know that doesn't fix your issue - - I just put it up there for information purposes.

I am using an external mouse, but I always hit the touch pad and it's throwing me off. I know there are programs that disable the touch pad when the keyboard is in use, but this also disables the external mouse.
