alps touchpad erratic and unresponsive at times Dell Inspiron N5110

The touchpad on my Dell Inspiron N5110 is behaving strangely sometimes: suddenly it becomes unresponsive, cursor moves, but very hard, and after some time it just comes back to normal state.

I'm unsure whether this is the driver problem or a hardware problem. I'm using Windows 7 Professional x64.

My driver is up to date, it was downloaded from official site, but however I can't get my touchpad to work correctly consistently.

I have seen the same problem reported elsewhere with no fix as yet.

Thanks in advance for any help.
