Ding, dong, the touchpad is dead

I have a trackball for my laptop; I never use my touchpad, I never planned to use my touchpad, so as soon as I got my Alienware Area 51m, one of the first things I tried to do was disable the touchpad. Much to my frustration, XP would not allow me to disable the touchpad, and no matter what I did, XP would always reinstall the mouse or somehow it would work without any driver. I soon found that my mouse would reandomly move arround as I used the keyboard from my palm accidentally brushing past it. Finally, today, after dieing on RO from "accidentally" walking into a monster as I selected a spell to cast one too many times, I had had it. I'm pretty sure I tried everything I tried before and more again with no results, then I tried some searching on Alienware's web site, after about 15 minutes worth of BS hits that ended up saying to disable it in the touchpad software that I had to let intellimouse uninstall to use the button mapping features, I finally found a post that said that Alienware's drivers are way out of date and that if I download the generic drivers from the manufactuer, they would co-exist with Intellipoint, and I could disable it.

OMG, NO MORE FUCKING ANOYING SHIT FROM THE STUPID TOUCHPAD! I'm so happy, I could to a little dance, but I won't.
