    If I do circles on the touchpad, it skips/stops.lags ever 5-10 seconds or so. Is there a fix for this?

    Thanks

    I beleive it has something to do with the powermanagement program, when it kicks in the keyboard and the trackapd pause for a second. Head to the Acer website and download the BIOS update and the BIOS flashing utility for the Acer Travelmate 4010 series or phone Acer and they will guide you through it

    I can confirm that this does indeed fix the problem, I can now do endless circles with my trackpad without any skipping, I can also type without missing any letters, Yippe!
