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.

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:

1. Clean the surface of the touchpad with a dry, soft cloth to remove grease, sweat, moisture, or other liquids.
   
2. Adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad:.
   
   1. Click the Start button and click Control Panel.
      
   2. Click Printers and Other Hardware.
      
   3. Click Mouse.
      
   4. When the Mouse Properties window appears, click the Pointer Options tab. (Figure 1)

   5. Under Select a pointer speed:, click to move the slider bar closer to Slow.
      
   6. Click OK.
      
   7. Check to see if the touch pad still behaves erratically.
      
3. If the touchpad still caused the cursor to behave erratically, attach an external mouse to your computer and restart your computer. Use the external mouse to see if your cursor still moves erratically.

I have suggested in the past that people with this type of problem download Intellipoint Mouse software, from Microsoft.

It's a free download, and so far, I have had a good rate of this solution working.

Here is the download page from Microsoft.com,

I have been there, I think. The internal mouse in the middle of laptop has a stripe in it along one side. What happens is that your thumb touches it probably, while you are using the keyboard.Look at your hand/thumb the next time this happens.

Hi! I think youre probably having a jumping cursor where the cursor jumps from one place to another while typing an email or something. You may got to control panel - hardware - mouse then look for the check box that you can tick on that says "Tap off while typing" and this should fix the problem. Thanks for visiting FixYa.com!
