multitouch on my laptop
I just discovered that the reason I keep zooming my text larger and smaller is I have multi touch on my Toshiba (Win7) laptop's touchpad. It's so sensitive it zooms even when i'm just using one finger.

So, anybody have a clue how I turn this off? I looked around in Control Panel, but don't see anything to do with my touchpad. I know I'm just not looking in the right place.

thanks.

1. This may not be the same on your machine
On my Win7 Toshiba, go into Control Panel, Mouse. The last tab is Device Settings and has a red icon for the Synaptics touch pad device.

Highlight the pointing device in the top box and click on Settings below. You should get another window with a pile of configuration options.

You may also be able to access it by looking in your system tray, if you've left all the icons there.

2. that fixed it
I couldn't find Mouse, for some reason. They moved everything around from XP.

Thanx!
