villarule123 Posted October 6, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2014 This has been bugging me for ages, but on my Laptop (Dell) (sorry don) when I'm using the touchpad it sometimes automatically sends me back on a webpage without me doing anything. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limpid Posted October 6, 2014 Administrator Share Posted October 6, 2014 I guess it's Windows. Windows is bad at touchpads. I guess something is doing gesture interpretation and doing it badly. Someone can probably help turn it off if you tell us which OS you are using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyvilla Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 You could alter the touch pad senstivity , or disable the scroll function. After market power supplies can also cause similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted October 6, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2014 To go back on my touchpad it's use two fingers to swipe left or right. Could you be doing that by accident? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villarule123 Posted October 6, 2014 Author VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2014 Windows 7, and nope, only 1 finger. It's happening too much to be accidental Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tegis Posted October 6, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted October 6, 2014 Download the latest touchpad drivers for your make. As said, windows by itself is not good enough to do it. You can find it by typing in the service-tag (usually about 6 letters on the bottom) of your dell here and it will take you to the driver page you need. Then turn down the sensitivity in the driver-program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
