Any software to turn the orientation of a touchpad?

Curious · 04-12-2005, 01:21 AM

With the new Dell coupon coming out on the laptops, I was wondering if anyone knew of a program that could change the orientation of the touchpad if a program was used to turn the laptop screen from landscape to portrait mode? Has anyone tried Pivot Pro on an Inspiron 700M? Thanks.

I don't remember for sure, but I think you might be able to do it within the mouse options in control panel. I used to use a GlidePoint and it was definitely an option. I don't recall if it was a native windows option or one that was added by installing the GlidePoint software.

I wish I had a laptop to check on that. But certainly a separate touch pad that I physically orient in to 90 degrees would probably do the trick. I'm looking to modify the touchpad on the computer so that I wouldn't have to use another device. Thanks for the input.
