>> Hi, I'm Tom Merritt from CNET.com with a quick tip on improving the accuracy of your Nintendo DS touch screen. The great thing about the Nintendo DS is that it has a touch screen but it can become inaccurate the more you use it. So here's how to fix that. Go to the back and take out any game that you have or any game that you have in the front and then power it up so that you get to the settings area. Once you're in the settings touch the little file cabinet icon. That will bring up four colored icons. Touch the yellow icon with the crosshairs. That takes you to the touch screen calibration. Now all you have to do is touch the little red box everywhere it is, make sure you touch it accurately, and it will tell you it has recalibrated the touch screen. Now when you touch something here it won't activate the screen over there. That's it for this quick tip. I'm Tom Merritt, CNET.com. ^M00:00:53 [ Music ]
