Vaio FE11S touchpad question (inlc small review)

[Carelino]

Hi, i just recently got the FE11S. It is my first Sony laptop, and I like it very much. It's fast, quiet, good preformance, huge harddisk (for a loptop). I compared it with the previous FS version.

First thing I ran into was the Bluetooth wich was not switched on. If you are a new user you will have a hard time finding the "switch" wich is not a switch...after 1 hour I finally found it in vaio controll center...very annoying....:smileycry:

3 things I don't like about it, I might find more the coming days:
1. The bad position of the touchpad and button (way to low).
2. The SD card reader you can put it into your slot wich to my disappiontment is sticking out a bit...
3. The Screen can't be opened as far like the FS version

My question:
In my mousepad settings I would like to adjust the sensebility of the touchpad. To my dissappiontment I can't find the option. Is there a way I can adjust it....?

[Carelino]

Thank you for your fast reply.

I know I can adjust settings but I can't find the option to change the sensebility of the mouse. I think my touchpad driver does not support it. I hoped it was possible to find an update of my touchpad driver, but I can't find one either.

It would be very strange if this option is not included. It's forcing people to work in a certain way with the touchpad. Not everybody puts the same pressure on the touchpad... In my previous laptop I had that option.

If anybody knows how I can get or where this option is hidden I would be most gratefull.

Hi Carelino,

Welcome to Club Vaio,:smileyhappy:

You should be able to adjust the touch pad settings in either Start > Control Panel > Mouse, or Start > All programs > Vaio Control center >List (tab) > mouse.

I do not think that you can adjust the sensibility, what problems are you actually having:smileyconfused:

[rich912]

The sensitivity of my Synaptics touchpad is adjusted on the Motion tab of mouse properties (accessed by double clicking the system tray touchpad icon)

[Carelino]

The FE11S does not have a Synaptics touchpad but a Alps touchpad driver...at least you know what I mean....

Thalamus my problem is that I can't get the touchpad to work they way I want it to work. It is not sensitive enough...on my previous laptop I could change this very easily like Rich912 said. But now I don't have a Synaptis touchpad (driver). I also think it is not possible, but you never know what is possible..

Carelino,

I to have the Alps touchpad driver, sorry I did not know what you meant.:smileyhappy:

Its a while since I did it but I resolved the same problem on my TR5MP by downloading a newer driver than the one preinstalled.

Rob published a link in response to a similar issue recently but I can't find it.

Did find the file though:

TOSHIBA

Its a few lines down in the list and is Version 6.0.304.6.

I also bought the FE11-S modell recently. looking good.

i was wondering why we cant have forums and discussions sorted my Notebook models. It is such a pain to go through every thread to see which was in regards to my own modell.

I think that would make every Sony user much happier. What do you say Vaio Master?

furthermore, why cant i follow all threads i have responded to in my forum section? how can i follow up on the discussions I have participated?

I would really appreciate a reply.

Otherwise I am very happy about the FE11-S, except one thing.
In regards to Norton Ghost. Every time I switch the notebook one, I get an automatic start-up for Norton ghost telling me to sth and to browse for an link. However, the system cant find it?
please what on earth is this all about??

[Carelino]

Your problem with Norton Ghost is that you have a demo on it. You will have to pay for it to use it. If you don't want to use it and pay for it go to ad/remove and remove the program
