Hi all, I am on my third laptop in a year! Ugh! So it seems that since windows 8 has come out, I have continuous problems with the mouse jumping all over. As I am typing it will insert intself into the body of whatever I am typing and just pick up typing there. It also often erases and uses back functionality whenever if feels like. I have looked online for fixes which have advised to adjust the mouse speed, and it does not help. It also often adjusts the size of my screen (zoom) whenever it feels like as I am typing. I keep thinking it is how I rest my hands on the touch pad, but even bhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/Windows-Widgets/System-Utilities/TouchFreeze.shtml eing careful of how I place them, still does not help.This is soooooo frustrating as a simple email can take 3 tries.
