I finally figured out how to disable my touchpad. I tried everything I've read on these forums, but nothing worked. No matter how many times I double-clicked the little dot on the top-left corner of my touchpad, the light would not come on, and I could not disable the stupid touchpad.

 

To fix this, I downloaded the newest version of the touchpad driver from HP.com for my laptop. After installing the driver, my computer rebooted, and then I was finally able to double-click the little dot on the top-left corner of my touchpad, and it was disabled! 

 

So now the cursor no longer jumps around all over the page as I am typing (b/c my hand barely touches the touchpad). 

 

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

 

I hope this helps anyone else going through this struggle. It took me several hours to figure this out today.
