Solved Synaptics Woes

Recently got an Acer Aspire 5535 laptop running Windows Vista Home Premium, with a Synaptics Pointing Device mousepad thingy.
But I noticed that everytime I'm in Internet Explorer 8 using thhe snaptic thiing, the browser pages either shrink or grow!
Somehow the act of swiping my finders on the mousepad thing activates the zoom level in IE8. It seems to do it when I have 2 fingers on the pad. (Which I use both hands most times.) When I try to duplicate it... I can't figure out exactly what I'm doing to cause it. And I can sometimes make it happen... sometimes not.


I also noticed that if I swipe around while on my desktop with 2 hands... I can get the icons to grow or shrink!

I went to the website and downloaded new drivers for it, and poked around in it's configurations & settings... but I really don't understand them all.


It's getting really old fast when I try to manuever around a webpage and all of a sudden it's zoom level drops down to 10%!

Can anyone please help?

Thanks!

Nevermind.

I figured it out!

For anyone having this problem... it's the "Enable Pinch" tickmark in it's settings.

Apparently it what an iPhone does, and changes the zoom level by applying 2 fingers in a "pinching motion", which I was somehow doing with 2 fingers from both hands.

Thanks anyway guys!
