I had this problem once. I did some reading on it, and found that the shifter cable tension regulates the sensitivity and speed of the shifting. There on the handle bar where the shifter cable enter the shifter housing, there is a nut around the cable that makes small adjustments to the tension. I found that I could adjust this easily while I was riding - I found the sweet spot and my bike stopped shifting gears by itself. It's hard to climb a hill when your bike keeps shifting gears, isn't it! Oh yeah, the adjuster screws on the rear derailluer are for setting how high and low the chain will go, they don't affect how it shifts on the cogs in between. As long as your bike will shift onto the biggest and smallest cogs without throwing the chain off, leave these screws alone. Good luck!
