If still doing the same, then it coukld be a hardware issue, or just something stuck somewhere arround the touch board causing presure and doing what you have described.</P> Thu, 31 Jul 2014 23:32:07 GMT vojvoda 2014-07-31T23:32:07Z http://community.acer.com/t5/Notebooks-Netbooks/can-someone-please-tell-me-how-to-fix-this-pain-in-the-touchpad/m-p/274520#M43329 <P>Please tell me I didn't walk into something bad.

That usually has entries/options for both touchpad and rodent, either in different tabs or by selectable device. Or there may be an icon in the system tray area, often labelled "Synaptics Pointing Device" or something like that, although that's usually just a shortcut to the same control panel mouse entry.</P> Fri, 01 Aug 2014 14:47:29 GMT http://community.acer.com/t5/Notebooks-Netbooks/can-someone-please-tell-me-how-to-fix-this-pain-in-the-touchpad/m-p/274736#M43370 DarrenHill 2014-08-01T14:47:29Z
