Touchpad

[Guest]

In Windows XP, where do you find the touchpad options for laptops? I've
looked at all the driver devices and I can't seem to find anything.

For my Gateway laptop they're under the "Mouse" options in the control
panal.

Okay, I should specify, I have a Compaq Presario R3000. I've already tried
all control panel options (or I think I have, at least).

See if this helps..
1.. Click Start then click Control Panel.

2.. Click Printers and Other Hardware then click Mouse.

3.. Select the Device Settings tab.

4.. Highlight Synaptics TouchPad in the list and click the Settings
button.

5.. Click the plus sign next to Sensitivity to change the sensitivity
settings of the touchpad.

Thanks for the advice, but still no-go. There is no device settings on my
mouse option in the control pannel. The mouse portion is for a standard
mouse, but the options still change my touchpad. The problem is, I don't
have settings for tap-clicking (which majorly annoys me), or side-bar
scrolling (which I used to have).

Silly question maybe, but did you install the drivers for the touchpad?
I use a Fujitsu lappy with a Synaptics touchpad. Drivers are needed for
this.

You may have to go to the Compaq support site and download the touchpad
driver for your make and model laptop and install it.
