On my ASUS laptop I disable the touchpad by using fn-f9. The same keys restore the touchscreen function.

I have tried the fn + f9 combination before. Tried it again just now. It doesn't work.

Do you have the ASUS ATK package installed? If not download and install the appropriate package as below:

http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/nb/..._VER100050.zip for 64-bit systems.

I downloaded the ASUS ATK package. Could not install it because a version was already installed. Uninstalled the existing version (which came with the computer when I bought it two weeks ago) and restarted. Installed the new ASUS ATK app and restarted the computer.Alan Russell said:
fn f9 still does nothing.

Could you fill out your system specs? At the moment you are listed as using a Lenovo PC. It would help if we could get the model of ASUS laptop you have.

Should have done that. I have updated the specs for the laptop I'm struggling with.Alan Russell said:

Two questions: 1. Is the model of your PC actually X555DA rather than just 555DA? 2. I see in your specs that you use a mouse, have you set the Smart Gesture software to disable the touchpad when the mouse is plugged in?

Disable Touchpad
See jpg attached with system data.
I don't have Smart Gesture software installed. I shall download it from ASUS and see if that helps.
