I just did the update on my computer of the software for the mouse and a few other things recently through dell website. These last few days, my mouse on laptop is moving by itself. I feel like I have a virus or spyware but my comodo firewall or Microsoft security essential and malewarebyte havent made sent up any type of warnings. So now I can assume that something is wrong with the dell software that I recently installed. By reading other peoples comments on this issue, it clearly is a dell mouse pad problem.
Here are a few comments by user on cnet forum:
"Touchpads on Dell laptops are notorious for this problem. A slight vibration caused by the disk drive causes the touchpad to move the mouse. See if you can disable the touchpad (From right mouse button menu on the My Computer icon, Manage, device manager) or from the Mouse icon in the control panel."
"Switching off the ''Enhance Pointer Position'' in the mouse section of Control Panel seemed to fix this problem for me."
"I found the solution for Mouse move my itself or eratically. On XP, go to contro panel, click on mouse then check mark the Disable the Touch Pad/ Stick when USB pointer in use. Then upgrade the driver from the manufacture."
I guess, you can try these last two steps, which I will see if they work for me. And then I will post again.
Thanks for the post. I spent a long time trying to fix this damn problem on my dell touchpad. By following what you wrote:
"I found the solution for Mouse move my itself or eratically. On XP, go to contro panel, click on mouse then check mark the Disable the Touch Pad/ Stick when USB pointer in use. Then upgrade the driver from the manufacture."
My mouse is working without moving like crazy again. I hope others can benefit from this answer.
