Getting Started 75 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 "Disabling or enabling the touch pad" on page 75. ❖ Disable the tapping feature. If you disable tapping only, you can still use the touch pad's control buttons and move the pointer by sliding your finger on the touch pad. ❖ Adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad, so that it is less responsive to accidental light taps and lighter finger pressure. NOTE 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 support.toshiba.com. Disabling or enabling the touch pad The touch pad is enabled by default. To enable/disable the touch pad, press F5. For more information, see "Disabling or enabling the touch pad" on page 164. NOTE Alternately, you can disable only the tapping feature. If you disable tapping only, you can still use the touch pad's control buttons and move the pointer by sliding your finger on the touch pad. To disable tapping only, use the Mouse Properties option in the Windows® Control Panel.
