On the taskbar - right-hand side you should look for the pointing device - mine is synaptics. Click on it and it gives you loads of options for how the mousepad can work to your needs. You may need to experiment a bit to get it right. If you cannot see it or it does not show use your help page search device for 'mousepad features'. That should help you find it. Good luck. BTW I don't think its anything to do with vista.

Ok - maybe yuo could learn to live with it. On mine the right hand edge is for scrolling. The top right hand corner shifts the page down , etc. , etc Once you have worked out how yours is working you may find it helpful.

Hi Mark
I have pm'd you with some suggestions I found on the internet, it seems you are not alone in this problem. One suggestion was to cut a piece from a postcard to cover the touchpad and tape it over it - simple, not scientific, but could be effective.
Best of luck in sorting this problem, I am lucky that I have been able to disable mine on my Acer by changing mine not to run on the startup menu.
Have you tried e-mailing e-machines with this problem? http://www.emachines.com/support/product_support.html#

Hi there, normally, the touchpad can be disabled in the BIOS. Reboot the machine and hit F1 (could be another key on your machine but it will say which key to go into BIOS or setup). From there, you will find options to disable/enable hardware. Hope this helps.

Hi Marksfish,
have you tried going to 'my computor section' then 'appearances & themes' there is a mouse pinter option you can change from there. I haven't got Vista but a friend of mine suggested this. My son has Vista, I will double check with him and get back to you if this doesn't work. _______________________ Sterling

You could always get someone to have a look at it directly....use a product like logmein.com and setup an account....you can then send someone a link to go and look at this directly...you can control their usage on your laptop and disconnect at any time. I use this for access any of the systems that friends and family want a hand with and it works well from anywhere in the world.

I'm glad you sorted it out - I did ask my son (a lap top whizz) and his answer was.........and I quote "He should have got xp not vista....vista's total c..p!"

Hi Mark,
Vista is ok as long as you have a high spec laptop - if not you would be better installing XP. We have noticed huge speed differences in laptops and desktops by replacing Vista with XP.
