Thanks for coming back on this one, Chris - I am still stuck, despite Dolphin Tech Support trying to help over the phone. Presumably we are talking about the item in Control Panel labelled "Mouse Hardware and Sound". I seem to have only five Property Sheets, Buttons, Pointers, Pointer Options, Hardware, and Advanced, after which I return to Buttons. Shift, Control and Tab takes me to the Advanced sheet. Which sheet should contain the "use Touch Pad etc. item? By the way this is the Business edition of Vista - I believe that I have read that the five editions differe significantly in their Control Panels. Any further comments would be most welcome - I hope that I am not missing something obvious, Douglas On 27 Nov 2007 at 18:27, Chris Hallsworth wrote: > Ok Doug.
