Hi
I wonder if any of you have any solutions for this, as it is driving me mad.
My mouse cursor floats across the screen of my work laptop all by itself, making it really difficult to work.
I have looked up solutions on the internet, but nothing has worked.
It happens with the laptop touchpad, as well as when there is a mouse attached, so it's not dirt on the attached mousepad sensor that's the culprit.
It has been sugested on the internet that the actual touch pad on the laptop could be dirty underneath (requiring a disassembly of the computer..I think I'm not going to venture that)
I have used the mouse troubleshooting on windows, hasn't helped.
there has been no recent change in software added.
It's a Dell Inspiron 8500, running Windows XP.
A cyber pint to anyone who comes up with a solution!
