I have an HP laptop with Synaptics Pointing Device on the laptop and a 
wireless USB Microsoft Mouse. Under Control Panel/Mouse/Synaptics is an 
option which I use to automatically disable the Pointing Device when the 
Mouse is in use. You might have a similar setting on your laptop.

I hope this helps.
