    The touchpad of my gateway ML-6230 is so sensitive. Is there a way to adjust it. My lenovo at work and my co-worker' HP they are all have that option but I can't find it in this guy.

    While my touchpad isn't too sensitive, my scroller is. If I lightly scroll down with it, it jets down to the end of the page. Very annoying using the arrows.

    You can't control it in Control Panel > Mouse?

    I believe there are settings in the synaptics control panel.

    Tinderbox,

    I usually use my laptop on the bed so the mouse is not so convenience isn't it?

    Arkit3kt,

    Yes, I can but there is no option to adjust for the pad, not like my lenovo at work, Control Panel----Mouse-----there is button UltarNav this is the one for pad adjustment..
