I have looked through the forum for tips on my minor problem and I hope I can explain what is happening. Whenever or whatever web page I am viewing and I slide the 'touchpad' mouse pointer/cursor across the page the font sometimes increases or decreases in size, i,e, from 100% to 105% or 150% or 50%. I think I am putting too much force onto the touchpad.

My question is:- is there an easy way to stop the font from changing? apart from being more gentle on the touchpad.

Any/all help very much appreciated,

Much appreciated for that link 'caperjack', and of course 'Brink', I think that has cured it. The only thing that has happened when 'sliding' across this page and the link the font went down to 95%. I will try and teach myself to be gentle when moving the cursor across pages.

Like your avatar, is it your bike? I have a 2000 model RKC.

Impressed with where you live. I live out in the sticks, as we call it in the UK, in the countryside. I might add the Green Part of Essex. I am seriously thinking of migrating over to Triumph, a Thunderbird LT.

Just did it again, font changed from 100% to 75%. This only happens now when I drag/move the cursor. Must be me, re-configured the mouse through Control Panel, as Brink's instructions. I will try tweeking the speed etc: and see how that goes. Thanks again for the pointer.
