Hi Jackie -
Well, it's good to know what is what when it comes to these touch buttons,
I
had kind of figured out where the mute button was, but good to know
exactly
where the blasted 'quick play' one is. I think over to the right, above
the
numpad are touch pads to trigger the dvd/cd. So, is volume up/down about
above f7-8? -
Andy

| Hi Andy
|
| I feel duty-bound to reply since I helped you with your laptop in the
first
| place (smile).
|
| Quickplay, as you rightly say, has one of these buttons above your
function
| keys which can be accidentally pressed because
| you can't actually feel them. When it occasionally happens to me, I alt
f4
| out of it, and it normally closes it. I haven't seen anything in the
System
| Tray that would remedy this either.
|
| The other touch-sensitive button you must be careful not to press is
above
| your delete key and is a mute button. Press that and you lose speech
etc.
|
| I haven't marked these touch-sensitive buttons above my function keys
| because I know where they are situated, but it would be possible to
identify
| them with perhaps some Lockdots or dymo. You may have problems closing
the
| lid if you use Bump-Ons or anything too obvious.
|
| My best advice is to fold your fingers a bit when you alt f4 out of an
| application so that you don't accidentally hit the Quickplay button.
It's
| roughly above f3.
|
| You also have volume up and down touch-sensitive buttons further along
to
| the right in case you didn't know that.
