    How can I disable the touchpad tap to click feature? I'm brushing the touchpad by accident sometimes and I click on things that i don't want to click on. This is a clean install and I didn't find any optional drivers on MSI's site.

    thanks

    You could install Synaptics touchpad drivers and switch only the tapping feature off.

    Well, they offer proper driver with complete set of user settings. I guess when you do not require complete controll of your machine, you could consider it bloatware.
    I would surly like to see more drivers like this for things like CPUs and GPUs - I wouldn't ever need all these underground applications as GPUZ, CPUZ, AMD clock tool, ati tray tool and the list goes on...

    The Synaptics suite is awesome. I'm using it now, actually.
