    It's frustrating me that the mouse buttons are in the touch sensitive region -- when I try to press a button, it often moves the mouse. I was hoping to disable the touchpad sensitivity in this area, but haven't had any luck.

    So far, I've installed the Synaptics Driver using the instructions from this thread ( http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...hpad-ptp-driver-with-synaptics-driver.783990/). I figure the right thing to do at this point would be to adjust the "Advanced Filters" options in the Advanced tab of the Synaptics driver. However, it seems like this is glitched for me -- I've seen screenshots where other users are able to drag and adjust the relevant zone. For me, it seems like nothing is clickable or adjustable (screenshot here: http://i.imgur.com/vCaxVoq.png).

    Any tips on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
