I had the same problem. I solved it by turning off the touchpad in the
BIOS. Of course, that made an external mouse a requirement, but a
regular mouse is vastly better than a touchpad anyway. Right now I am
using a $15 Dynex USB mouse from Best Buy. Its receiver stick is only
about a centimeter long, so I don't risk breaking it off so much.
