    I got this laptop in Aug. 2007, and after a few months, I noticed that the touchpad was doing funny things. If I let the computer go to sleep, or even after just an hour of it being on, sometimes the touchpad scroll will completely stop working - I have to use the up and down arrows. Plus, it automatically switches to the 'touch to click' feature, which I hate. The only thing I've found that helps this is by completely restarting the computer, which also gets annoying after doing it multiple times a day. The touchpad icon in the taskbar is also completely unresponsive. Any suggestions?
