Jerry I bought an Acer convertible laptop/tablet and the finger control does not work well at all, it did a first but not now. I am off to buy a mouse today. I couldn't even find a way to turn it off without goggling. LOL I installed the classic shell so I could set it up and customize it . After I do that I am going to use the W 8 start screen and learn it. It is is quite a change working without a right click and I keep reaching for a mouse. I did Google a bit and found a way to right click, takes two hands. I haven't found a way to toggle between the shell and w 8 start page yet. Will work on that after I get a mouse.

" The anti-virus company bearing his name was acquired by Intel for $7.68 billion in 2010, but McAfee has not been affiliated with it for more than 20 years. He says he has been forced to work on multiple film and book projects to make a living." I have no problem using McAffee. It comes with my internet provider and has saved my computer many times. I also don't care what he may or may not have done in his life, as there has not been any proof. I watched a story about the murder quite some time ago. I refuse to use a "free" online anti virus (yes, mine is technically free, but the cost is in my monthly bill payment to my internet provider). And will never buy Norton after we spent about $100 on it, then a week later got a virus so bad, my son couldn't get his computer to turn on and Norton refused to help. I love the fact that computer companies can remotely help you with your computer. You just sit back and watch the mouse do this and that and next thing you know, voila! Your computer is in perfect running condition. I think it comes in especially handy for people who are not computer savvy. Our head office often uses it on my computer at work. I will explain everything I've done and they still insist on me connecting them, so they can do what I did and it doesn't work for them either..... snicker..

I keep hitting the touchpad with my wrist and when I first got my Lenovo and the keyboard always changes on its own from US Eng to Cdn multi and also when I skim the touchpad my page zooms. I have desensitized the touchpad and wish I could turn it off because I don't ever use it. I have gotten used to it though and can get right back to the way I was working, this touchpad is much larger on the Flex than it was on my old Thinkpad. That computer didn't haveX a number keypad and this one does so I am also typing off key haha because the keyboard isn't centered. Getting used to it though finally. Something just showed up on my taskbar and it was Lenovo Messenger for when Lenovo wants to send messages about upgrades, etc. At least that is what I think it is for. This Lenovo is so much lighter than my other one even though it is bigger because of the number keypad.

zep Strange! I turned off and then tried to restart the PC and as I suspected it did the same boot to Lenovo screen and stop again. First a little about the connections. I have the Logitech USB and the Microsoft mouse and keyboard USB plugged into the two USB ports on the front of my PC. I shut down the PC and pulled the Logitech USB out of the front and plugged it into a rear port and tried a restart. No luck. I then pulled the Microsoft USB out and the computer booted to the desktop! I had to plug the Microsoft USB into the other port on the back of the computer and as of now, I haven't tried to restart the PC. I am going to wait until later to see if the PC will boot normally now that I've swapped everything around? (I have things I need to do and am tired of messing around with it) None of this happened until today when I tried to power on? I just don't get it? If I still get the problem, it can only be the mouse or maybe a problem with one of the front ports? Both devices (mouse and headphones) work once the PC is running! Well the headphones work fine but the mouse is getting to be a PITA! The cursor is almost uncontrollable and it is FRUSTRATING! The OS is Windows Ten
