Conflicts on using Trackball and Touchpad on Windows Vista

Since there is conflict using booth device at the same time, why not try disabling the touchpad instead. Since the trackball might be of better use than the touchpad.

Go to Start Menu

Click Control Panel.

If it is in Category view, click Printers and Other Hardware.

Click Mouse > Device Settings tab > Settings.

Modify the touchpad setting then click Ok.

If it is not possible to disable the touchpad under Control Panel, try disabling the device under Device Manager. If your touchpad is using a software such as Synaptics, click the Start Menu then type Synaptics on the search bar then try modifying the device there.
