Re: Cursor jumping! "Jeff" <jeff[ at ]naol.com> 6/8/2007 4:55:53 PM Hi JoAnn I have the same problem and I am on a laptop. What is the reason this happens on a laptop and how can it be avoided? It can be very annoying. Jeff "JoAnn Paules" <jl_paules[ at ]hotmail.com> wrote in message news:OjBlOVKqHHA.4396[ at ]TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl...

Re: Cursor jumping! "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 6/8/2007 6:27:29 PM If you go into the Touchpad setup utility, you can alter the sensitivity of the touchpad or even disable the tap-to-click function completely. But what is happening is that the touchpad is 'receiving' a click instruction from an inadvertent brushing with your cuff or something similar therefore moving the active edit point to the cursor - wherever that happens to be at the time.
