I bought a netbook today and the trackpad is st.I was mucking about with the settings and for some reason, the trackpad left/right buttons now don't work!

Is there a keyboard shortcut?

It's a fking arseache because although I can user tab/arrows/enter to make selections I can't work out how to get a right click...

Ah.. i done failed then.

Anyway, windows>control panel>mouse will have the options in there somewhere (on XP at least, Vista can't be too far off)

Have you tried plugging in a USB Mouse? The settings for external mice and the inbuilt touchpad on a laptop are generally seperate.

Thanks to all but your answers were all st.



I created a new user, deleted the old one and the problem went away.

I rule (sort of).

ctrl+alt+left arrow

[Lefty Guns]

Right.

Bear with me please. I know lots about the cost of steel, offshore crane and pipelay barges but fk-all about newfangled networking.

HELP! (again)

I've got 50gb of music and photos on one laptop which has a 60gb hard drive. I've got a new laptop with a 160Gb hard drive, what's the best way to move the files over without an external hdd? They've both got wifi, can I do it that way? How? Please?!?!

Would plugging a network cable into each PC work? I think it would be a lot quicker than Wi-Fi.

Or a USB stick (4 or 8 gigabyte) and do the task in batches of that size?

Is it really as simple as that? Can I then drag'n'drop files from pc to pc?

Erm I'm not sure if you will have to go into network settings and make one PC 'see' the other one using the 'cable' method. It seems you need a special type of RJ45 (network cable) on reading this though, crossover cable:

USB stick (flash drive is the technical term I think) method would be drag and drop though, I am sure of that.

4gb ones here for £15...

Easist way, in all honesty - is the USB memory stick method ....

Cable-to-cable will require a cross-over cable, as previously mentioned - and trying to get one of those in the high street will probably end in tears ....
