Charlie, You may get some relief if you turn off the advanced-type features of the touchpad (tapping, jump-to-previous, etc), and/or if you lower the touch sensitivity. If you're a heavy typer, or if this happens more often when the laptop isn't on a floor-mounted piece of hard furniture, then this might be your culprit. Even if not give it a try and see how it works for you.

Windows XP Pro (if that matters). It's got the touchpad, and i despise the touchpad. I have a USB mouse plugged in. On occasion (not all the time but often enough to piss me off good), i'll be typing and suddenly the cursor jumps WAY OVER THERE and i end up typing in the wrong place (didn't mean to be WAY OVER THERE). backspace backspace backspace backspace grab mouse move cursor back where it belongs. I did a quick search in the Dell support forums, but didn't find anything conclusive. I'm going to roll up the sleeves and dig deeper, but seeing as how y'all are collectively the smartest group of people at this specific e-mail address, I'd throw the question out here (to anyone who's not standing on line for the new Harry Potter book). I'd be pulling my hair out, but I have none. Issue is my wife uses the laptop too, and she's prettier to look at with her hair intact.
