    hi,
    i have configure my sensitivity of the touchpad to approx 90%
    But when i switch off the laptop and on it back again, the sensitivity of the touchpad resume back to default setting which is 50%.

    anyone experience this on his/her I 1420 touchpad..??
    how can i set it, so that everytime it will not resume back to default setting??
    i did not do any clean reinstallation of this laptop ever since i get it.(so everyting is set by the factory)

    p/s the dell touchpad software any influence to this matter? i did not uninstall the software.

    thank u. hope someone can have a solution for me.

    hmmm...actually im not very expert in IT.

    what im concern after a fresh reinstallation is that the mb might whine like previously alot of users have been complaining.

    im not sure whether there is any relationship with fresh installation and the mb whining problem.

    this is the reason why i did not reformat this laptop from the day i get it. (reformat and fresh reinstallation same??)

    also, i notice that windows vista will actually rearrange the programmes in alphabetical order in the start section. is it really like dat???
