I think he touchpad is interfereing with the cursor and text lines and making them disappear as I type so I want to turn the pad off .
I'm hopeless at trying to use the touchpad anyway and only ever use the mouse.
I'm running Windows 7 if that info is needed or makes any difference as to how to disable the pad.
I prefer (need) precise beginner type instructions if you want to help as I don't understand a lot of short pc tech talk.
In other words I don't want you to waste your time as I very much appreciate all help with my pc problems :)

Have you tried this.
It doesn't disable the touchpad.

No, I haven't tried it because I don't have a Toshiba laptop. I have a Compaq laptop and I can turn off the touchpad by pressing a small button at the edge of the touchpad. The way of turning off the touchpad will vary depending on what make and model computer you have. You might post at http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Computer-Information/ct-p/cat_products

Did you try checking on your Control Panel - Hardware - Mouse (Properties) Device settings tab?
