[nabs-l] Computers

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
Again, I tried everything except for cutting the wires. I could higher a 
hacker to go into my system shell and put an error in all the checkers that 
force load the drivers, but this computer probably won't last long enough 
for me to find anyone with the skill to do that well.
The card thing would work, except there is this thing called 3 fingered 
gestures that are activated anytime the mouse pad is touched by something 
larger than the finger. ATM I'm just super await of where ever my curser is 
at all times and I try to restrain myself from throwing my computer against 
the wall when I type a whole email into the search box of WLM.
It would be nice if Jaws or the laptop made a little click sound when the 
mouse was activated, so I'd notice...
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

Hi,
maybe there is a way to turn the mouse pad off. Why not go to the store you
bought it at and see if they can offer some tech support or call hp. I would
think there would be a way to disable the mouse pad.

Probably not, as the mousepad on HP laptops is very sensitive. Like Rania, I
just got used to it and try to keep my hand away from the mousepad, and now
I very rarely bump it. Brandon, you can try it and see if it works, though;
I'm just making an educated guess here.
