    i seem to be having issues with the cursor randomly jumping around while typing. i know i haven't been brushing against the touchpad but every few lines my cursor skips either out of the txt box or to a previous line without any input from me. anybody know how to deal with this issue? it's extremely annoying and driving me nuts.

    my system:

    Dell XPS16 with p8700 & radeon4670 running win7x64 AIO with win7 drivers searched except for synaptic touchpad, quikset, and bluetooth.

    You can try and *adjust* your Touchpad *sensitivity* setting under your Touchpad settings! ;) And, if your using a external mouse you can always disable the touchpad. Try playing around with the Touchpad Setting a bit. :)
