I have the same problem. It used to be much worse, but I found a setting in the mouse/touchpad driver that disables the touchpad whenever another pointing device is plugged in. After bootup is complete, I now get a message on my desktop that the touchpad has been disabled. However, the mouse still does not behave very well. I can sit back and take my hands off the computer altogether and watch the cursor dance around all over the screen. Sometimes it's worse than at others, but it always does a little dancing. It's especially annoying when trying to place the pointer on a certain place and before I can click it moves away all on its own so I back it up and it jumps again. Sometimes it makes me want to scream. Mine's a Dell with Win 7 Home Prem.

(I have a laptop with touchpad).  I know it has something to do with the
way I'm using my fingers on the touchpad but I can't quite figure out how
to avoid it.

Is there any way I can disable this feature?  It drives me crazy.

(It happens with other programs too.)

Thanks,

Pat
