    I have an sz450 and very frequently when using internet explorer (vista business), my web page will be back to a prior page when I am using the touchpad.

    I have the tap function turned off in settings. I cannot fully figure out what I am doing on the touchpad to avoid this. I am just trying to move the mouse around the page and all of a sudden I am on the prior page. Perhaps it may be when I try to move the mouse to the left. Is there a way to turn off this previous/next page function so that this doesn't happen. I would much prefer to just use the left/right arrow button on the top, and allow my web page to stay on the page that I intended.

    I think I found the answer...........under mouse functions you can turn off the "web assistant" feature. Does web assistant control anything else besdes next/previous? Also, I now see that I can make the area for scrolling smaller so that movements on the touchpad are not misinterpreted as easily.
