Getting Started 67 Using the Toshiba Dual Pointing Device 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 67. ❖ 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.
