I've had my MacBook Air for almost a year and like it fine.  

 

I haven't mastered the trakpad yet and keep doing something that makes the whole screen go small and appear on my lauchpad.  I then have to click on it to make it full screen.

 

It is annoying.  Does anyone know what I'm doing so I can STOP or how to turn off that feature so it doesn't go to my launchpad?

 

Thanks.

That's what happens when you swipe the trackpad with 3 fingers. I always swipe with 2 fingers.

I recently updated my OS and noticed the same thing with my MacBook Air....now I know why! Thanks.

If you do a search on the internet/Google you'll find several sources on how to use the trackpad -- some on You Tube.

I hate using a trackpad so I use a wireless mouse.
