Go to: My Computer (or Windows Explorer). Go to C:Drive/Program Files/Synaptics. There you'll find a folder with all the touchpad files(settings, tutorial, etc.) Hope that helps...

There is an option to turn it on or off available. I have not used this feature as of yet, so I have no idea of the size or font style.

Your palm could be bumping the touchpad. I know this happens to me a lot. I also have this same netbook and noticed I am bumping the touchpad more often.

I checked the font list and there is no Arial Narrow font. There are no Arial fonts of any kind, strange.

Good evening Leslie, Press the unused old icon about 2sec, then you can see that vibrating icon with 'x' mark. Click that! That's all. Thank you :)

The largest font is approximately 3 mm. I agree with the battery issue. After going through 3 sets of batteries in a year (and rarely using the printer), I now remove the batteries when I'm not using the machine. What an inconvenience and what a lemon of a product.

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.

If you hit the "Ctrl" key and the "+" key at the same time, the text gets larger, and successively larger each time you do it. Similarly "Ctrl" and "-" makes it smaller. That may be what you're inadvertently doing.

Thanks for the extra information, interesting about the rectangular pixels. This seems like a much bigger project than I thought it was going to be. I tried a lot of resolutions and found one that appears to leave only one column of pixels on the right side unused. It's 430x222. Funny how a single digit can make a significant difference.

You can change the font size with just about any computer, though it can get tricky. My eyes are bad and I like to sit up real close to the computer myself, so I understand the concern. I have the 20 inch model and it is fine for me.

Thank you for helping me. This works and I have finally gotten rid of the extra icons.

If you push the text button below the display you will be able to change the font and style of the font.Hope that helps.

I had the same problem. If you still have the Acer provided softwares, launch Acer recovery management - restore - reinstall drivers. Find touchpad and reinstall the touchpad driver. Simple. If you have uninstalled Acer softwares, you have to manually download and install the driver which is also not too difficult to do. Start with googling the model name. You will probably have to go to Acer's support site and download the driver and install it. After a restart it should work as before.

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 had the same problem. I removed and reloaded the software and haven't had a problem. Hope this helps.Joe
