Dear all :

I have Dell Vostro 1400 , it works excellent & no problem at all except something really nagging !

whenever I plug in my LAN cable or my external USB HDD , the cursor (controlled by touchpad) "sometimes" doesn't respond normally to me ! as if it hangs, I touch the pad , it moves either slowly or interrupted motion !

I even thought it might be a hacker or a trojan , but I have my antivirus fully updated (Avast) & using (ZoneAlarm Firewall) ! & even their installation isn't related to the problem appearance.

& when I unplug this cable or USB, the touchpad works perfect !!!

*My touch pad is ALPS, Driver date: August 24th, 2007.

This really bothers me ! I feel as if it's a hardware or drivers conflict !

please let me know what's up.

thanks;
Shehab Anwer
