So, I got my Inspiron 9300 today

[M.B.E.]

It was a poor design decision to give this laptop an unusable touchpad rather than a usable one. Do you disagree?

Actaully I do occasionally use it when I'm stuck playing an MTT or sthg and I want to go sit on the sofa in front of the TV - it works fine for me but I'm no touchpad afficianado.

Anyway whilst it may not be that great a design decision - most of us buy it for the fantastic screen specifically to multitable with - very few of us would in those circumstances be using the touchpad..

I will ask this here rather than in the Computer forum which seems to be haunted by more tumbleweeds than posters. I love my 9300, but I am technologically retarded.

I play Party and each table I bring up has one inch of black space along the right and bottom edge of the table. It is really starting to piss me off. How do I fix it?

Maybe you should just look and not ask in the computer forum.

This question comes up five times/week. I'm sure you'll find it within 50 posts - and the title should be a good give away ... or you could just search for my posts in the computer forum.
