hi JakeSully,

Thanks for Posting!

If you have Synaptics then you could try this

for some reason i missed your reply Solid_Cruver :/ well i checked your link and problem is synaptics dont have this disable mouse when USB mouse is connected check box :/ i have tried installing older versions and newer versions none of them has it but weird thing is i have seen pics of same verison having it but when i install it on m y510p it wont appear so do you have any other advice to solve this?

It's okay now got it working by using this code

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTPEnh]
"DisableIntPDFeature"=dword:00000033

More than an hour of searching and trying and failing... this simple fix solved my issue. Not the most user friendly way of doing things but at this point I don't care in the least.

Much thanks.
