Hi, Did you find the answer to this problem?  I'm having the same thing happen and it's very frustrating.  How did you resolve the problem?  Thank you!

Same thing here. Cursor will jump to wherever the pointer is sitting and start my typing there. Also having problems with the screen jumping and or minimizing as a result of where the cursor is. Has anyone figured out how to correct this? I've had to re-type this about five times while entering this thread.

I hais is very ve the same problem and have for over two years.  I have a new battery and th.  This is what it does even with the mouse pointer on a different section of the draft.  Has anyone a solution?  Please assist me. <ADMIN NOTE:Email Id removed per privacy policy>

I have this problem, too!

Hi,

Below mentioned are some easy steps to determine the problem with a touch pad demonstrating erratic pointer movement:

Check for hand and finger placement — the most common cause of random pointer movement is that the touch pad senses a finger or part of the hand near the surface of the device.
o Adjust the Touch Sensitivity and Touch Check settings in the Touch Pad Settings section of the Dell Touchpad Properties.  In order to go Dell Touchpad Properties, go to “Control Panel” and then click “Mouse”.
o Try an external mouse — does this problem happen with an external mouse attached? If the problems only occur when the touch pad is enabled and doesn’t occur any time when a mouse or other external device is used, then the issue is related to the touch pad.
o If the issue still persists, I would suggest you to reinstall the Touchpad driver by going to the URL mentioned below which might fix the issue: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriversHome/NeedProductSelection
