    not sure what it's really called :-)

    Is it possible to de-sensitise it so that it only works when you actually touch it? come anywhere near it with your other hand and windows 8 goes bananas (technical term :-) )

    Hi,

    It is possible to decrease the sensitivity of your touch pad mouse.
    Please click the link below and follow the steps.

    If this does not fix the problem, it is not the problem.
    Would recommend bringing it back to place of purchase as the touch pad should only work when touching and moving your finger.

    Manufacturers differ. Most brands and models have a fn key for turning the pad on and off, and some models even have smart sensing in the driver: when the keyboard is in active use the trackpad sleeps, then returns to use if you stop typing after 1 or 2 seconds

    Update..that advice was spot on. For the amateur user, the laptop is much more usable now without the multi-finger function. Thanks a lot again

    Now all I need to do is stop hitting the cap lock instead of A and learn to spell and I'll be grand
