Touchpad sensitivity

I got an older Solo 9150 with Win98SE. How can I adjust the touchpad
sensitivity. In the Control Panel I only see the Mouse to adjust.
Thanks

Go back and open up the Mouse Properties and you will see a "Device
Settings" tab at the top. Select that and you will see a list of
pointing devices on your computer. Select the TouchPad and select
Settings for it and there you go.....

It is a bit misleading to hide it under the Mouse Properties selection
in the control center but then, you have to remember that common sense
is not an attribute practiced at M$.

That's where I am stumped... under Mouse Properties I only see three
tabs: Buttons, Pointer and Motion. No Device Settings sp what am I
missing here?

Go to the web support for your touchpad, synaptics, etc. Find the
latest software and driver file(s) and install those for Win98SE (or get
it from Gateway support). The software should have the complete setup
functionality.

The touch pad has its own software/setting separate from the mouse.

Hummmm.... I have 6 tabs which are Buttons, Pointers, Pointer
Options, Wheel, Hardware and Device Settings with Device Settings
being the tab under which they hid the settings and Properties for the
Synaptics Touchpad.

Sorry I couldn't help......

Thanks to all for the comments and tips. Gateway Tech Support steered
me to the correct driver and I was able to tame the touchpad. All I
wanted was to disable the tapping because it was way to sensitive. I
am OK now, so again, thanks for your help.
