In control panel I see nothing for the touchpad--just the controls for the
Logitech mouse I installed. Nevertheless, the touchpad still works. How can
I disable it then? Thanks. --Arthur

There should be a setup dialog for your touchpad somewhere. This is often
the Mouse applet in the Control Panel though.

Thank you. How do I desensitize the touchpad?

This is usually due to an oversensitive touchpad: accidentally brushing
the touchpad simulates a double-tap (click of the mouse button). Either
desensitise the touchpad or disable the Double-Tap option.

Not sure if this problem is a laptop issue, Windows XP, or something
else. I'm using a Dell Inspiron 8200 with 1 Gb of RAM, Windows XP SP2,
and MS Word 2002.
Every so often when I'm typing away, the characters will stop appearing
on the screen and then quickly reappear elsewhere in the document--a
few lines away arbitrarily in the middle of words or sentences. Then I
have to stop and correct the text. Am I unknowingly hitting a wrong
key? What causes this problem, and how do I stop it? Thanks. --Arthur
