Hi All. I bought an Acer computer a few days ago. I am five minutes from sending it back. I have barely even used it as the touchpad is driving me crazy. It is the "tap to click" feature. I am constantly accidentally clicking on things, opening and closing items, and on and on and on. I guess it is how I naturally use the touchpad, but I can't use this computer if I can't get that function turned off.
I have gone to the settings, and under the mouse properties I have very few options. There is nothing regarding sensitivity or any option to turn the click option off. I have googled, I also registered my computer and download the Synaptics driver and I can't get that program to give me any help either. On my old computer I was able to download the synaptics driver and when I went to the mouse properties a synaptics menu popped up which gave me all kinds of options. That is not happening with this computer even after downloading the synaptics driver.
Any advice would be much appreciated. I just can't use the computer this way because the mouse is constantly doing behaviors and opening and clicking things that I don't intend to and it is slowing me down big time. The purpose of buying a new computer was to speed things up.
