How can I change the sensitivity of the touchpad on my laptop Windows 8 Samsung series 3?

I can't find a setting that allows me to adjust the touchpad sensitivity.  I can pinch to zoom in with ease, but I can't two fingers scrolling unless I dig my nails into the protector with strength.  And, even then, it works sometimes.

Settings-> Imput gives me only option to turn the touchpad on or off.

Control Panel-> hardware and sound-> Synaptics TouchPad V7.5 gives me options to set the speed and to turn on or off certain functions of drag.
Control Panel-> currencies and printers-> mouse gives me left - and right handed options, double-click speed options, pointer options, wheel (which does not have this computer) options, etc.
Where else is there to look at?  Help!  Thank you!  :)

  • How can I change the default topics listed in Windows Explorer?

    When I look at the files in Windows Explorer there are positions that I find little use for me. I would like to change the default headings listed to display only those that I use most often as update, size, Type and Date of creation. How can I change the default settings for securities so that these topics, such as tags and side are not displayed?

    To change the headers, right-click on the header bar, and click more.  You will see a list of options to be included in the header, and you can place about to adapt to your desires.  But they will not stick unless you modify the template for this type of file.  Procedures for this follow-up.

    Here's how to change the default template for a folder: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/70819-windows-explorer-folder-view-settings.html.  Default behavior is to select the model based on the first type of file placed in the folder (you must choose something).  Vista sets the folder type template according to what are the types of files in the window and the settings display window Explorer. This will show you how reset the display settings of Windows Explorer folder (which is what I think you want), disable Automatic folder Type discoveryand increase the view of the folder cache to have Vista don't forget not the display, model of file type settings, the size or the position of a window for when it was still closed to the location of specific path.

    It does not work with the Sub record under, Open with, open in a new tab (Internet Explorer), etc... dialog windows of type through the good File menu bar item. These don't seem to be able to have their size or their position to recall. For the latter, you can use the free program http://autosizer.en.softonic.com/ to resize them.

    Here is another article on how to modify the columns in Windows Explorer and sort in Vista: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/108665-column-customize.html.  This will show you how Add, Remove, move, change the widthand change the sort order of the columns in Windows Explorer in the way that you want.

    Here is another article on how to change the display of the default folders in Vista (but she argues, it is not a perfect solution and can revert to the previous behavior is not as good as the two prior links provided: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13880_3-10019957-68.html.)

    The display orientation is usually controlled by the Ctrl key or the Alt key in conjunction with the arrow keys. Also, try right-clicking on an empty space on the desktop and in the eyes of context for Portriat, Orientation, landscape, rotationmenu, etc.

  • How can I change the permission on my laptop

    I have a laptop windows 7, which was the first place where we have installed Adobe Digital Edition and we used an e-mail address.  Now, we do not have access to the email account more and want to Ministry on behalf of approval to our new e-mail account.  We have created the new ID on the web and I'm connected to use it to write this request for assistance.  I don't find a way to change the permission on my cell phone account.  I tried to uninstall, delete the folder of digital editions, reboot and reinstall but it stills shows the account permission using the old email address.

    Ideas?

    The ability to rotate the screen image is a characteristic of your video
    card, to help work with instructors who turn to the portrait
    orientation. Almost certainly you accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and
    an arrow key.
    Rotate using these keys.

  • How can I disable the touchpad on my laptop Pavilion dv4155cl?

    I have a Pavilion laptop dv4155cl and HATE the touchpad, mainly because when you type on the keyboard, the keypad is just under my Palm of the right hand, and it hinders so try to type as the guard cushion see my Palm by tapping the touchpad, and mess substance upward. My old dv1000 was a dedicated switch just above the touchpad to turn, but this one isn't, and since I use a mouse exclusively in any case, I would just turn off the internal touchpad but don't know how? I tried to uninstall through Control Panel, but whenever I restart the computer Windows sees it as new hardware and reinstall... Can someone tell me please how to disable it without having to tear the thing apart and unplugging it physically?

    BTW, I am running Win XP Home Edition SP3

    Well, since I messed with it fo the day I managed to solve this myself :-) Here's what I did. First I went into the control panel and checked the properties of the mouse, I discovered that there are 3 displayed here, TWO who registered as a HID-Compliant mouse and the 3rd like PS2 Mouse. In reviewing the properties of each, I've found that BOTH HID devices had the ability to be either be enabled or disabled, and by disabling each of them in turn, I discovered that my USB mouse is turned off and the other turned off something else but neither off the touchpad, this left ONLY the PS2 Mouse to be the touchpad... so I looked at its properties and could find NO WAY within its property to disable tabs your device, then I noticed it's file of the pilot was very old, the way back in 201 actually, so I decided to try to update the driver, I have DID in selecting the automatic update, which was the recommended choice, after small time it found and installed a driver Alps dated in 2005 and he then told me he had to restart to the pilot would be usable. After that, I looked in the propertieds Alps & on one tab named others, there is a selection that says use Touchpad & PS2 Mouse, then when I unchecked this selection, the touchpad is now disabled and my USB mouse still works perfectly... Exactly what I wanteed. Of course, reselect this question in properties reactivates the touchpad, it gives me a convenient way to enable or disable the internal touchpd at will, so KUDOS to me... :-)

    Hello

    You see Synaptics tab? In the affirmative, please use this tab to disable the touchpad, if no, you must use the tab settings of the HP control area (for the newer machines). And in both cases, check the box "turn off internal...." 'and 'Apply'.

    Kind regards.
