    Arrrg the Touch pad is annoying the hell out of me! Must be the way I type because I keep touching the touch pad with the palm/below my thumb and when that happens. I either focus the mouse pointer else where or open a different program.

    find an ALPS driver for your OS... then uninstall the synaptics software....

    next after rebooting.... install the ALPS driver...

    since installing an ALPS driver on my laptop,,, my cursor has never jumped again

    I have no problems with my touchpad on my 6920. But you can do what the other have said but I just bought a wireless mouse and its 10 times better than the touch pad!

    Well, I've been wanting a notebook a long time ago. So, I've came here for reviews and stuff but I never got around in getting one because I wanted to save money. And now I finally got one!
