Touchpad sensitivity
Posted by Nathan Gutman on November 20th, 2005


I got an older Gateway Solo 9150 with Win98SE. How can I adjust/reduce
the touchpad sensitivity? In the Control Panel I only see the Mouse.
In Device Manager I see only Mouse>TouchScroll ps/2 with a driver by
Logitech.
The touchpad is working but it's way to sensitive for my old arthritic
fingers.
Thanks.

The complete logitech driver package includes an application to manage
the various "features". It may or may not have what you want. You may
need to find it and download it from Gateway. Most of these touchpads
are by Alps or Synaptics. They will work with a Logitech or Microsoft
driver (or no driver at all, which implies the Microsoft driver that's
part of Windows), but you don't get the features and adjustments.

Do you mean sensitivity as in how far the mouse moves per unit of finger
movement? Or do you mean sensitivity as in how hard you have to push
to have the touch regognized? The former should be easily adjustable
in almost any mouse driver.
The latter will require driver support.
First place to look is Gateway driver updates.
Check the Logitech site for newer drivers.
Also check Alps and Cirq and Microsoft and Synaptics drivers.
They have similar but different feature sets.
You may like one more than the other.
Back up your registry and the whole system before you
start changing drivers. I've had irreversible changes
installed by messing around with mouse drivers.
Backup comes in handy if you can't get it back the way it was.
