I've got a Toshiba Satellite c55 laptop. It's running Windows 8.1, and the touchpad sensor is so over-reactive that it's wrecking my efforts to do computer work. I can't do anything without my cursor moving around, or without my browser being resized (zoomed), and other annoyances.
Previously, when I had this problem, I solved it by pressing FN+F5. Another thing I used in the past was FN+F5. Generally speaking, those solutions worked. But not anymore.
The touchpad sensor problem started fresh last week, after I erased my Windows operating system and restored the laptop to factory defaults, with a fresh operating system. That's the first time in several years that I deleted and reinstalled Windows 8.1 on this machine. I suspect that Toshiba must have automatically installed some patch, or some update, or something obnoxious "improvement" (automatic updates) that makes the touchpad impossible to disable.
Can someone here please help me out? I'm going nuts. I need to permanently disable this touchpad and sensor.
Thanks in advance for any answers.
