How to disable touchpad?

I have a Compaq Prosigna 150 Laptop. I'd like to disable the mouse touchpad. Is there a way to do this? Also where can I find software for the mouse? I'd like to be able to scroll. I've looked on the support site, but I couldn't find any.

I failed to mention I am running WinMe. When I go to Device Manager Mouse, I only see 2 button generic mouse. Also did not mention that I reformated the hard drive so I have no Compaq software on the machine.

I tried to go to mouse in Control panel and decrease the speed of double click. That has helped alittle.

If I uninstall the 2 button mouse from Device Manager will I still be able to use the mouse? I'd hate to uninstall it and then not be able to move around in Windows.

To install the onboard mouse as a 3 button scroll mouse, I just go to Add and Remove hardware and select generic 3 button mouse? Will WinMe ask for drivers? Which button will be the scroll wheel?

Thanks for the help
