    Laptop Problems - Touchpad has a mind of its own lol

    So I got this new Dell Inspiron Laptop due to the generoisity of many folks here on the board. I love the thing, but one thing is a major pain in the ass. The touch pad has a mind of its own sometimes. It clicks links I dont wanna click, scrolls on its own and generally makes an ass of its self. lol Any ideas? It doesnt happen all the time. Usually when im in the middle of updating my blogs or something like that. Im ordering a new cordless lazer mouse this weekend and i'll be able to turn the touch pad completely off then. But what can I do untill it gets here?

              go - http://support.dell.com/
              search for 'synaptics touch pad' and install that software - it will give you options to tweak sensitivity

                    it almost sounds like you have the double touch thing on, where it senses a double touch, and clicks for you...using your mousepad as a mouse clicker

                    plus, the sesntivity sounds way too high on that thing

                        for the meantime, you can disable your touchpad using your Control Panel. look for the drop down menu to disable the Hardware.

                          to all advicing him to disable the touchpad: it's a laptop right ? so you don't always have a mouse in handy...

                          so why should he disable it
