    Hi,

    I have an weird issue. Cursor jumps randomly while typing on my Win 7 32bit Ultimate running on Samsung Notebook RV518.

    It has really become a nuisance. Not sure how to fix this.

    There is no particular pattern for that. Some times extra spaces would appear, some other times cursor jumps to start of the sentence and some times it jumps 3-4 sentences above or below in a paragraph in between some words.

    Even while writing this post, I had to struggle :(

    Please help.

    What make is your touchpad? If Synaptics or Alps then look on their websites. if it is Elan than get the driver for the Series 7 or Series 9.
