    What's your technique for using the sensor to scroll? I've been trying to use the sensor to scroll webpages up and down but when I move my finger over the sensor it either doesn't move the page or it sends it down to the bottom or the top. At times it gets frustrating. I'd rather have a scroll pad like on my Acer laptop, much easier to control than a sensor. Is there an adjustment to control the amount of scroll in windows properties?

    Still love my P7010, guess these minor things (black lid covered with fingerprints, IN-sensitive fingerprint sensor) are the price to pay for ultraportability and small size.

    i did apply just a little pressure on the sensor. plus check the control panel, there should be a setting there.

    as for scrolling, what i do is, i enable vertical on the touch pad, making the right side of the pad for vertical scrolling, check that in the mouse option, try it, you might like it.

    Thanks for the tip. I just went into mouse properties and adjusted the wheel scroll from 3 lines per click (or finger sense) [ :p] to 2 and it seems to not be as sensitive. The scroll now is more controllable.

    One minor thing taken care of, if only I can figure out the fingerprints on the lid.......
