 This is making me nuts, seeI have been using a MAC Tiger computer for the past year and half or so and just got a laptop with Vista.So I don't remember the cursor having a mind of its own like this? ISN'T THERE SOMETHING I can do to prevent my typing along and suddenly my cursor moves 4 or 5 lines above where I was. And now the wacko sign keeps popping up all over too. th  is reall is wacko. and MOST ANNOYING

Hello, several possible causes. One being you are hiiting the touchpad as you type.
Go into control panel, mouse settings. Look for an option to "disable touchpad while typing". -------------------- How do I get help? Who is helping me?

QUOTE(boopme @ Nov 5 2009, 11:24 AM)  Hello, several possible causes. One being you are hiiting the touchpad as you type. Go into control panel, mouse settings. Look for an option to "disable touchpad while typing". Yes, I finally (thanks to your suggestion) determined it was because of the touchpad being really sensitive but there was no control that I could locate or reference about disabling touchpad while typing but I finally talked to MSI and they said that by holding down both the Fn Key and the F3 simultaneously that should turn off the touch pad, so that mostly fixed it but its not just off while I'm typing its OFF or ON but it is a great improvement though not perfect. Now, however, I am vexed by an uncontrollable mouse (that the system says is performing correctly) and an entire screen that moves around likes its got a mind of its own and so i started another discussion on that. But at least on this MSI the Fn and F3 key mostly take care of this.
