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.
you don't say if you have researched the issue. I took a quick look
online and one possibility among several is a driver conflict. another
is a need for an updated driver (to be downloaded from the input
manufacturer's website).
were it me, I'd first update the drivers and see; then I'd go to
device manager and stop a driver (e.g. wifi) and see what happens and
repeat systematically to see if anything helps.
but guess this is off-topic for this list; sure hope you find a
solution. I wouldn't live with the situation.
here is the first link I found on the matter
<http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/51501-cursor-jumps-all-over-screen-3.html>
(interestingly one person found it was a charger issue!)
you might also search for the problem referencing your specific laptop
model. probably others with the same problem and a fix.

(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
