Thread: Wandering cursor or keyboard problem

This is incredibley annoying as I do a lot of work in excel and word and generally type while reading from a report and not looking at the screen. Result being a lot of deletion and re-writting.

Its an Acer laptop.

Any ideas

definately contact with the touch pad at some time. I have to hold my arms in a completely different position when typing on my lap top as opposed to a standard keyboard, otherwise the heel of my hand or thumb will touch the pad..
