I believe that the settings of your mousepad is set to "Automatically Disabled when External Mouse is Plugged In". You can actually modify this setting by following the steps below:

1. Click Start/Windows logo

2. Click Control Panel

3. Click Hardware and Sound

4. Click Mouse

5. Locate the tab for the mousepad application. Here you can disable the settings of the mousepad
