Struggling with a mouse or touchpad on your PC? Changing the settings

Do you struggle to see the mouse cursor on your computer screen? – Well, you can make it bigger or even leave a trail to make it easier to see.
Or you have trouble with double clicking because you are not quick enough? – You will be interested to know that the response time can be changed.
Does your mouse pointer move too slow or is to sensitive? – That can be changed to.Here is how to change the above settings plus one or two more.Type ‘control panel’ into the windows search bar in your task bar.

In the top right of the control panel there is a drop down box labelled ‘view by’. Change this to ‘Large icons’ if not already selected.

Click ‘Mouse’ in the main body of the control panel, the properties window should open.

Most of the options you will need are on the ‘Buttons’ and ‘Pointer Options’ tabs. They are pretty self explanatory but if you are struggling then please get in touch.
