emkay64 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Puts on nerd glasses. Go into My computer, click control panel, click on mouse, click on pointer options, decrease pointer sensitivity. Done! Quote

phreakwars Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Make it watch the entire Friday the 13th series, if that doesn't de-sensitize it, I don't know what will, except maybe a setting in the control panel. . . 1 Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
mercury Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 yay! thank you emkay My old solution: cover it with a large post-it pad. I think this actually works. My cursor hasn't relocated itself once through this whole comment! :) Quote
eddo Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 I had no idea you could adjust the sensitivity on a laptop mousepad. Cool! Quote I'm trusted by more women.
ToriAllen Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Puts on nerd glasses. Go into My computer, click control panel, click on mouse, click on pointer options, decrease pointer sensitivity. Done! I had tried that last night, but there is no pointer sensitivity under my pointer options. Most mouse pads on laptops will have a adjustment icon on the right side in status bar by the time. If not it will have it's own in the control pannel. I think it used to, because I'm pretty sure that is where I ajusted it last time. Then, recently, my internet screwed up and I took it to the school tech people who did updates and such... This reset the setting and made the little icon disappear. A search under control panel for 'touchpad' returns 0 results. use the mouse speed setting for Vista I tried that too. It changed the speed of my mouse, but not the touch sensitivity. Now I get to watch my documents screw up in slow motion... I don't know what they did to my computer, but the sensitivity function is hiding from me.

mercury Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Do you have an external mouse attached? If you do, remove it, then use the speed adjustment setting. I've tried adjusting with the mouse attached before and I got the same results that you're getting. Last night I removed the mouse, then adjusted and it took. I haven't had any trouble with it since.

Old Salt Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Does this work the same using XP? Nothing more frustrating than typing merrily along and find out you've been typing in the middle of a sentence five lines up because your mouse pointer mysteriously got relocated. Quote

snafu Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 If you have a disk that came with the laptop it would have the drivers for it to reset the icons. If you don't google up the laptop on the net and you can download the program install drivers that will get the icon back.

phreakwars Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 My solution would be to just get a USB mouse instead of using the touch pad. . . Quote https://www.facebook.com/phreakwars
wez Posted March 5, 2009 Posted March 5, 2009 I fixed the sensitivity on mine.. but it still jumps now and again ever since I spilled a half bottle of isopropyl on my old keyboard and restarted to a major clusterfukk.. been better since I got a new wireless ubs mouse though. Quote
ToriAllen Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 My computer is just retarded. I installed updates last night and the mouse touchpad reappeared. I fixed the sensitivity now, but it had literally disappeared off of my computer. Thanks guys. Quote Smart men learn from their own mistakes; Wise men learn from others.
