See if there's a 'mouse' driver upgrade available that does provide these
functions.

I have a similar problem except that my touch pad won't scroll. I
looked under Mouse properties but there is nothing that
enables/disables this function or adjusts the sensitivity. Is there
anywhere else that I might be able to fix this? I am running Windows
Vista.

It sounds like your touch pad has scrolling enabled. Check your Mouse
Properties in the Control Panel and see if scrolling can be disabled
and/or decrease the sensitivity. Most have this option but it
depends on your touch pad/computer.

Personally, I love the ability to use the touch pad to scroll since
I don't use a wheel mouse. If you can determine what you are doing
exactly to start scrolling (chances are you are near the right edge
or bottom of the touch pad - these are typically the scrolling
zones) you might find you prefer it too. :-)

Please post all follow-up questions to the newsgroup. Requests for

When I touch the touch pad on my notebook, I intermittently
experience scrolling even when the arrow is pointing at text. A
small rectangle apears
below the arrow with + and - indicated, and the scrolling is in the
corresponding direction. This is also happening in Explorer as I
write but does not happen in, say, Windows Notebook. I am using
Office 2003 on Vista Home Basic.
