when I pull up menu, the curser is in the search field. I cannot move it down to type in a data field, such as user name, email etc. Everything I try removes the key board and it is very difficult to get the search field to reappear again so I can start over, and start over and start over. what am I missing?

Sorry, but I'm old-fashioned and usually use a mouse. However, I can turn the touchpad on or off using "Control" with the (F6) key; you might try that.

Hi, check if it is not upside down, because if you push just a little, it will fit upside down but won't work. After that you have to go to settings and duplicate or extend the screen

How can I use this monitor, as a secondary monitor, and how can I set up the touch screen function?

It could be that you're hitting the sides rather than the center; since the bottom side serve a as left-right click buttons in a mouse, you generally have to click towards the center of touchpad. I've experienced what you say, but I figured it out by trial and error.

I bought this touchpad for my windows 8 computer and had many difficulties with it because of the gestures settings.I would suggest returning this keypad and buying a more generic keypad. I wish I could be of more help.

It's not the touchpad - it's your thumb. I had the same problem until I realized that I was letting my thumbs drop when typing. The cursor jumps to where the mouse pointer is when you're typing. Like most of my problems - it's between the keyboard and the chair.

I'm guessing that you are tapping the touchpad while you are typing. This has happened to me a couple of times and it's usually my thumb hitting the touchpad by accident which cause your laptop to revert to the last place your arrow was at...

If you are referring to the touchpad there is a feature called palm rejection and you adjust the sensitivity. It seems to be pretty smart and that if you slide your palms on the touch pad it minimizes movement of the pointer. My favorite trick though is to use a USB mouse, and then change the setting that disables the touchpad while mouse is active. It allows me to use a regular mouse but if unplug and need to use my laptop to do something really quick i can either use the touch screen or unplug the usb key and then the touchpad is active right away, plug the usb key back in and the touchpad automatically turns off. It even has a nice amber light to remind you the touchpad is inactive. If you are referring to the touchpad there is a feature called palm rejection and you adjust the sensitivity.

Go to your mouse in control panel, and look for the "Synaptics Touchpad Device Settings" tab. Select settings, then Advanced Gestures, then the Pinch submenu. Unclick the Enable Pinch selection.

No, you're not. Unfortunately, this is a pretty common problem with this player, but it's also one that's easily fixed. Over time the battery inside the gigabeat will expand, and as it does so it presses more and more against the touchpad. There are two ways to fix this. One is to pop open the Gigabeat (pretty easy if you have a small set of screwdrivers, flip up the touchpad, and remove the two rubber pads on which the battery rests. Definitely try this one first. If that doesn't work, you can order a new battery online for about 30 bucks, and replacing it is easy. If you look at the battery the cord is plugged into a plastic housing. To remove just gently tug on the cord and it should come out. Once you've done that, just pop the new plug into that housing, charge it, and you should be good to go.

Haven't checked. But the touchpad stopped working in less than a month. Don't buy Acer if i had to do it again.

Just plugged it in to try. Scrolling, left-click and right-click zone work. Other multifinger gestures (define, mission control, next/prev desktop, zoom) do not. I even opened USB Overdrive and it doesn't recognize the gestures as events coming from the trackpad. So, it works, but is missing most gestures.

If you are referring to the touchpad itself you can try to press the F6 key, that toggles the touchpad on and off. If it is something other than that, We would suggest that you visit our Acer Community website (community.acer.com) for support questions like this. You can join discussions with product specialists and members just like you who are ready to guide you through the process of finding solutions to your issues.

UPDATE TO THIS ISSUE: I went to Acer's Store (it's on your desktop unless you've deleted it), clicked on Tech Support and then Email Support. If you complete the form there and write a brief message, the site will come up with suggestions on the erratic cursor. I forget how it was labeled but it shows in a different window just how to adjust the sensitiviity settings to eliminate the issue most of us are experiencing! Try it, I think you'll be happy with the results.

You need to change it in the display settings. The computer doesn't automaticity know how your screen is oriented.
