Title: Anyone got any ideas here?
Post by: flarespire on February 08, 2012, 06:52:21 PM: Right so recently i got myself a new laptop, its a Lenovo G575 with windows 7 64-bit, and ive found out that if i hold down any key on the keyboard, it immobalizes my ability to move the mouse cursor untill i release the key again, this is getting very annoying when it comes to playing games like Half Life 2 which require you to both move the camera with the mouse and move around using the keyboard at the same time.

any advice/help you guys here can give me will be a great help to me.

Thx in advance

flarespire :D

Post by: flarespire on February 09, 2012, 11:22:21 AM: Yeah, its by Synaptics, but theres no option/checkbox/anything about locking the touchpad when a key is held in.
