[QUOTE="ToddG, post: 294916, member: 23228"] Maybe that's because: If you want greater sensitivity, then turn those settings down. Obviously, the word "sensitivity" is being used to mean two totally different things here, that's part of the confusion. Your issue is that moving your finger across the trackpad results in too fine/small/short an amount of movement of the cursor or scroll, right? Since the trackpad on your Mac works the same way most PC trackpads, mice, and other pointing devices are supposed to work, there are two possibilities: (1) There is something wrong with your Mac. Go to your nearest Apple Store and compare one of their showroom samples to what you're used to. (2) You turned mouse/trackpad acceleration off on your PC, which you cannot do in Mac OS X. Either learn to drag your fingers a little faster when scrolling or continue to bang your head against the wall while screaming "why isn't my Mac a PC?" [/QUOTE]
