Default Re: Why does my cursor keep moving when I am typing on my netbook?

I've had touchpads that responded to the PROXIMITY of my hand (probably overly sensitive to static electricity). The worst one I had though would work fine while I was touching it, then when I pulled my finger off the pad, the cursor would jump 1/2 to 3/4 of the screen. Supremely annoying.

If disabling the touchpad doesn't work, try disabling the wireless mouse. There's a slight chance you're getting interference from another wireless/bluetooth device (neighbor's mouse?), but my money's on the touchpad.
