Can't disable trackstick on Inspiron 8600!
Hi,
I have a problem with a floating cursor. When I use my keyboard, it just starts floating in all directions. From having looked around on forums, I am pretty sure I need to disable the trackstick on the keyboard as this is probably the casue if the floating mouse.
The problem is that I can't. All the instructions I find tell me to co to Control Panel > Mouse > Device Select and disable it. I just dont have a Decvice Select tab on mine! I think I have looked everywhere on the panel and can't find anything about the trackstick.
Can anyone help???
Btw. I have an Inspiron 8600 running Windows XP
Thank you
Michael

Floating - Drifting cursor problem solver (Fix)
BEST EVER - download this software it works immediate.
http://code.google.com/p/touchfreeze/
Works on all machines in addition to DELL - you name it - it also helps to de-sensitize your touchpad to less touchy - so that the palm of your hands
while hovering over the touchpad do not trigger the floating cursor. Sometimes that works alone, if not, download the free little helper on the
link I provided above. If you don't like the link - Google touchfreeze - it will come up.
You can also Google how to find my touchpad. :)
