This problem has been going on for a long time! The glide pad has no sensitivity adjustment. Acer blames the OS and Synaptics while the OS and Synaptics (the glide pad maker) blame the other 2, meanwhile Acer customers are left to struggle with constant mistakes and errors. I finally bought a external mouse with a wireless USB connection. It's a extra piece of equipment and less than perfect but it puts a bandaid on the ACER which is a pretty good product except for a few small problems like the glide pad. The irritating thing is my last Aspire had a glide pad and that Acer had an adjustment for the Glide Pad to prevent accidentally brushing the glide pad with the palm of the hand!
PLEASE give us a fix??
