The touchpad on my HP laptop has a mind of its own. It sends an email, opens an email, increases or decreases the screen, my cursor jumps around when i'm typing an email. does anyone know how i can eliminate this problem? thanks.

If your cursor moves erratically on the screen (for example, if it jumps around the screen, moves at varying speeds, or selects items on its own), perform the following steps:

I have the same problem...it is totally irratic, and is not in association to the cursor. it jumps back into the text, or in word up to previous lines.
Mine is definitely not a touch pad issue.

Try this software:

Touch Freeze will disable the touchpad when you start typing. I have not used it, but give it a try.
Also, your touchpad could be wearing out or a driver reinstall could be in order. My wifes Toshiba had a bad touchpad and the cursor would jump all over the place. I disabled it and she now uses an external mouse. No problems anymore.

try to re-install the driver of your touchpad. i suspected it could be the driver issue.
