Windows 7, touchpad sensitivity, Sony VAIO

Anonymous

I had Windows Vista Home Premium installed on my Sony VAIO PCG-5KSP laptop computer.

It never happened before, but after I installed Windows 7 the touchpad sensitivity went through the roof. The cursor constantly will be "clicked" by my finger or wrist and move to where the mouse is located while I am typing.

It's already happened twice while typing this! I have already tried searching for TouchPad and looked under Control Panel > Mouse >

There is no tab for Properties/Settings with Sensitivity. Under Properties is only shows General, Driver, and Details, and if I click on Change Settings it again only has General, Driver, and Detail tabs.

Where can I change the stupid touchpad sensitivity??

This is the answer --- I installed Synaptics for Vista even though I have Windows 7 --- they work beautifully together. You can then disable your touchpad and us a bluetooth mouse and the problem is solved!!! It's great.

I have a Sony Vaio laptop. My mouse was totally screwed...All I did was open control panel. Then on the top right there is a search bar, type "mouse settings" press enter. Boom ,,,on the left is a list of different mouse settings... choose and change to hearts delight. don't forget to click apply once it's set the way you want....my mouse now works the way it should by doing what I wrote.
