    Hey guys,

    I have an HP Model DV8125 (my favorite toy) notebook and have one minor issue with it. I find when i use applications which require a good bit of typing I accidently barely brush the trackpad and send my icon flying or jump me into the sentence i just typed. The pad is a little more left than my last laptop.

    If there a way to disable it's sensetivity (sp?) enough so I won't have to worry about it? Or am I doomed to the life of external keyboards?

    Peace,
    Vaath

    Hi Vaath,
    Go to Control Panel and then Mouse. The adjustments and settings for all your pointing devices are in there.
