Question about Acer Aspire 3004LCi Notebook
Ref: Acer Aspire 3004LCI Laptop Model LXA5505A696... Loaded with WinXP Home Edition & MS Office 2000, among others. Laptop periodically reboots for no apparent reason. Occurs with power supply pluged in and when also when on batery only. Computer occaisonally seems to "auto select" an option when mouse pointer passes over a "select" button in a program. Happens with selections in WinXP Home Edition OS options and various installed applications. Does so without a mouse button being pressed. In MS Word, display sometimes "jumps" to a different part of document without user input. Been careful not to brush mouse pad; still happens. Appears to be hardware problem, unless there's something peculiar about mouse settings on this particular laptop model. Couldn't find anything in WinXP or propriatary Acer hardware mouse settings to account for or change this behavior. Thanks, GreySteel

The rebooting could well be a driver error, and you pc is set to reboot instead of stopping and showing the code numbers on a blue screen togive any clues, but it sounds as if it could be the touchpad driver. Go to my computer icon, right click>properties>hardware tab>device manager and look down the list for mice and other pointing devices and click the '+' sign and it will probably read synaptics touchpad, right click on it and select uninstal. Restart your notebook and the touchpad will be installed automatically and should, if the driver is not corrupt perform as normal.

I appreciate your suggestion and tried it. WinXP did indeed reinstall the touchpad driver after I deleted it and rebooted. Upon examination, the driver as reported in "Hardware/Device mgr" showed to be working properly. However, the problem remains of random, spontaneous program initiation when the mouse pointer passed over a selection box. I also tried setting the "palm sensitivity" slider all the way to the right into the area where there was a warning that the mouse might not respond. No help, problem remains.
I thought it might just be my "magnetic personality" that the mouse pad didn't like, but other users have had the same problem with this computer. I'm out of ideas??? It may be a hardware problem. Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks,
GreySteel
