I have a track ball the size of a tennis ball and even with the
sensitivity and acceleration turned as slow as possible the student
still has trouble. With the pad the student can get the pointer
positioned provided the tap doesn't happen or the scroll area gets
entered. I'll look at the web page and see what I can do.<br>
Thanks<br>

It should allow the taps and scrolling to be turned off. I've seen some
users with rather shaky hands (Parkinsons tremors) work ok with a mouse
with very low resolution or a very large trackball (Kensington make a
nice one the size of a que ball. Because of it's inertia, it sits still
when they lift their hand during a bad tremor.)

<pre wrap="">I have an Inspiron 6000 that has an Alps touch pad mouse. The tap and
scroll features are activated when the terminal is started. I have a
limited mobility student who uses the laptop from time to time who has
shakey hands and the tap and scroll features are a problem.
How do I go about turning the tap and scroll features off?
Thanks in advance
Pat
