Yeah.. It fully disables the touchpad. That's not the same as turning

off tapping while allowing the swipe function of the touchpad to work.

Acer and ASUS laptops used to come with a driver that let you uncheck

a box to turn off tapping. They haven't for a while, and older

drivers don't work. Very, very, very annoying. I am forced to plug in

a mouse even for very brief use of these laptops now, because it is

absolutely impossible to use a touchpad with tapping enabled without

accidentally tapping and screwing things up.

Who is the idiot who invents this stuff, and where can I go to shoot

him or her?
