Getting Started
Using the touch pad
Adjusting touch pad settings
While you are typing, the on-screen pointer may seem to move or
jump around “by itself” to random locations on the screen. The
on-screen pointer may also seem to automatically select text, click
buttons, and activate other user interface elements. For help with
these problems, try one or more of the following:
❖
Try adjusting your typing technique to avoid accidental contact
with the touch pad. You may be inadvertently brushing the
touch pad with the heel of your hand as you type. Also,
accidental light touches or taps on the touch pad may select an
item or text on the screen, and potentially the item or text may
be replaced by the next character you type.
❖
Temporarily disable the touch pad, so that it does not respond
to touch or button presses while you type. See
enabling the touch pad” on page 59
.
❖
Adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad, so that it is less
responsive to accidental light taps and lighter finger pressure.
Touch pad setting options vary by computer model. The touch pad
settings are accessible through the Mouse Properties option of the
Windows
®
Control Panel. For more information, please visit
