Cursor jumping

I have an Inspiron E1505. I have an issue with the cursor constantly jumping all over the page. Can anyone help me make this stop?

    First, you need to make sure that it is not you. Many people end up with their thumb hovering over the touchpad and brush it occasionally, which causes the cursor to jump. If it only jumps when you are typing, this might be the cause.

    To test, hook up a mouse, and disable the touchpad in the bios. If that cures the problem, then it is your own thumb.

    If not, start by reinstalling the drivers.

    Edit: And yes, I once had this problem, and it was me.
