Go to: My Computer (or Windows Explorer). Go to C:Drive/Program Files/Synaptics. There you'll find a folder with all the touchpad files(settings, tutorial, etc.) Hope that helps...

Yes! Go to Tools, then click on Options. You will find many options and one is to change font size. Hope this helps.

I solved a similar problem by going (on my mac) to System Preferences...Keyboard and unchecking the box named "Use all F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys"

I had the same problem. If you still have the Acer provided softwares, launch Acer recovery management - restore - reinstall drivers. Find touchpad and reinstall the touchpad driver. Simple. If you have uninstalled Acer softwares, you have to manually download and install the driver which is also not too difficult to do. Start with googling the model name. You will probably have to go to Acer's support site and download the driver and install it. After a restart it should work as before.

The font is easily adjusted from Windows 8. I have poor eye sight and do that all the time.

Yes, the font size is changeable in the settings. Every tablet I have had experience with has been capable of changing font size.

Press the "Text" button under the viewing screen, then use the up and down arrows to find font options. Use the round navigation button on the upper right to scroll through the different fonts, change the point size

I m sorry that I cant help. Our ez eyes keyboard doesn't have the b;ack & I. That's strange that they are not exactly same. Ours is older, maybe that's why it is different ?

I know this was a few months ago, but you can adjust the font size (text size) on your computer. You can make it as big as you need. There's no reason to fork over hundreds more dollars just because 'the print is too fuzzy'??

I just got mine, it appears it is only the slider toggle in the upper right that does that. Shame, that is a real annoyance to have to choose between windows 8 function keys or ones you use while programming, like f5 to refresh your browser or launch you app in debug mode. seems like alt or ctrl should be able to do that.

It's not the touchpad - it's your thumb. I had the same problem until I realized that I was letting my thumbs drop when typing. The cursor jumps to where the mouse pointer is when you're typing. Like most of my problems - it's between the keyboard and the chair.

In desktop (classic Windows) mode, yes. The desktop UI can be manually scaled to be more readable, but it makes certain apps not work correctly. This is the case with all Windows devices with small high-res screens like the Surface Pro and some Ultrabooks. However, the modern/metro touch-based UI does not have this issue. All of the apps for the new UI will scale to the screen res automatically.

Hi Mary. Touch the silver "TEXT" button. Then using the silver wheel with arrows, move up/down arrow to scroll and highlight "FONT". Tthen use the left/right arrow to change the font style and hit "OK"

I have the same problem with it. It seems like if you remember to turn the keyboard off after using it, then on again before opening the text editing program of your choice, it tends to sync better. But, that's still not a fix because you have to actually remember to turn it off (which I don't). I sent them an email regarding this issue to see if they had any tips and tricks for it, but never got a response.

I just checked, I didn't notice until you asked the question! Maybe a hair smaller, not like my fingers are cramped, but slightly closer together than my laptop that I'm typing on now....and I have thick fingers. But then again, I didn't even notice it until now to even have it be an issue.

Sorry, but I'm old-fashioned and usually use a mouse. However, I can turn the touchpad on or off using "Control" with the (F6) key; you might try that.
