You and your lazy wrist — a tip for all new laptop users<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you’ve finally decided your done with bulky desktop computers and you’ve switched to using a laptop, you’re probably using a mouse with it. Most of us who go from desktops to laptops, just don’t like the touchpads on laptops – we’re mouse-o-philes, I guess.<\/p>\n

The #1 complaint we get from people who are new to laptop computers is:<\/p>\n

“My cursor won’t stay put! I type something and it jumps up or down. I can barely type a sentence without the cursor jumping.”<\/p>\n

Ah yes, it sounds familiar right? Is that you?<\/p>\n

This is a very common problem is you’re using a mouse with a laptop. More than likely, your touchpad is still enabled, and your lazy wrist is brushing ever-so-slightly against the touchpad, and it’s just enough to move your cursor up and down or all around a page or an email you’re composing. It will drive you nuts.<\/p>\n

Since every laptop is different, these instructions may be slightly different for each brand of computer. Dell, for example, has a feature that automatically turns off the touchpad when it detects a mouse is being used. It’s a very useful feature, but unfortunately, it’s turned off by default. You can turn it on by going to Control Panel, Hardware and Sound, Mouse — and you’ll find your mouse and touchpad settings there. If your computer does not have the option to automatically disable the touchpad when you plug in a mouse, just disable the touchpad all together…remember you can always turn it back on if you need it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
