CURSOR SIZE AND SPEED

try this - when you have your email open - by your X tab where you close the window, there should be a tools tab (place your cursor over tab & don't move it & a small box will appear to tell you what the tab is used for) .
left click on tools tab, a box will open, on my page the 3rd one down is the zoom.
place your cursor over the zoom & a 2nd box will appear.
move your cursor over to that box & over the percentage that you want to increase your zoom, then left click.
this will increase the size of your picture & print until you go through the process again to reduce it.
I have mine set @ 100% until I get something with small print, then I enlarge it for a time.
you can leave it on what ever setting that you want.

Step 1:
If you are a frequent user of a notebook or netbook computer, then you likely use a touchpad to navigate your computer's on-screen cursor. However, there are a number of issues that can cause your cursor to seem jumpy or unresponsive. To find what is causing these issues, you can troubleshoot both your hardware and your operating system and find a solution to the problem.

Turn your computer off and then clean your touchpad. Dampen a clean cloth with some isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and then pat the pad dry with a paper towel. Even a small stain or sticky spot can throw off your touchpad's sensitivity, so it is vital that the pad remain clean of all extraneous substances. Re-calibrate your touchpad. Go to the hardware section of the "Mouse" utility (in the Control Panel) and find the device settings. There should be an "Advanced Settings" or "Calibration" utility under this tab. Follow the prompts to calibrate your touchpad for maximum efficiency. Use manual troubleshooting wizard. If you suspect that your computer's software or drivers are at fault, run the manual troubleshooting wizard. Go to the "Mouse" utility (in the Control Panel) and then go to the "Hardware" tab. Select your touchpad and then click on the "Troubleshoot..." button. Follow the prompts to troubleshoot software issues that could make your touchpad jumpy. Reduce cursor speed. In the "Mouse" utility, go to "Pointer options" and reduce the speed. This will prevent the cursor from going too fast when you move your finger on the touchpad, which could be the source of the "jumpy" effect.

Hi
Go to Start-Control Panel-Mouse-Pointer Options.In the box named Motion you can set the speed that the pointer moves at.
Post back if you have any questions.
And if this helps,would you rate my post?
Thanks

The touchpad is very small on this netbook, so the ratio between the finger movement and cursor movement has to be high in order to be able to move the cursor from one side of the screen to the opposite.

The cursor cannot be too slow, because you would have to glide the finger several times on the touchpad to move it across the whole screen.

However, the speed of the cursor can be adjusted in the mouse properties in Control Panel (Start->Settings->Control Panel->Mouse) in the Pointer Options tab. Experiment with different settings to find one that suits you.

With such small touchpad I would suggest forming a habit of rocking the finger on the touchpad to achieve better precision and control, instead of sliding it. Put a finger on the touchpad center and tilt it left/right, up/down - You'll see that the cursor can be controlled quite well this way. And if you need a larger movement, then it's enough to move the finger the normal way.

Good luck and please come back with a rating/testimonial if helped.

Hello,

Press the F11 button to get full screen.
To return back to normal screen, press the F11 button again.

You can also hold down the CTRL key on the keyboard and Scroll down the scrolling button on the mouse.
To revert to normal , again hold the CTRL button on the keyboard and scroll upwards.

my keyboard is way too sensiticve. when ltyping if i don't hit my key dead center and just a small lportion of my finger touches a key arouind it, that key is also typed. I am a good typist, but when not looking at keyboard and going too fast I don't always hit jmy key dead cwenter. i would like a keyboard like an old typewriter. do they sell less sensitive keyboards ???

Does the slow movement of cursor and keyboard seen only on excel? Given that your excel is not corrupted, it just could be the file size of the worksheet you are working is too big. But if the slowness is present even on small excel file, you may consider re-installing your excel.

But if the slowness is present even on other application, then the problem could be on your pc itself.

there is a small pcb board that has a chip on it that controls the signals of which way the ball is moving and tells the computer what to do....also there are 2 little wheels that have slots in them that rotate in between infrared sensors and detectors that tells the computer how far and how fast to move the cursor and where/ which way to move the cursor....hope that helps

Hello my name is Tim Ehrhart, to slow your cursor speed go to controll panel and click mouse, then click pointer options and adjust the pointer speed. I hope this helps you and please leave feedback as I am new and am trying to gain a awesome rep.
