    Hey guys,
    When i am always typing something on my laptop, when i am in the middle of something, the mouse (the mouse built on the computer) the cursor will automatically move back and my sentences get all mixed up. The cursor will like go to my last sentence i just typed and that gets all mixed up. It is driving me nuts!

    well..if u have an external mouse...go to dell quickset and turn it off from there...or change the settings b/c your hand might be touching the touchpad and that could be the problem...that was the problem for me before...not a problem anymore ;) :p :D :cool:

    Yeah, i will do something, i highly doubt the drivers are the problem. I will just try changing the sensitivity again, and if it is not that, i will live with it. :( :(
