    Hi guys, this is a great place - lots of info and the stickies are awesome for my CF-29 especially! I need help though with the touchpad on my CF-50J2VUEKM. I'm not sure when it came up as my wife usually uses it but the pointer has started to lag or stick over anything that can be clicked. The pointer will fly around empty space or text without trouble but any button, link or icon will cause it to catch, like riding a bike through a patch of sand. I checked the mouse settings in XP and made sure the self-centering wasn't on, checked and re-installed the driver from Panasonic, and made sure the problem didn't occur with a USB mouse. Any ideas?

    It sounds like you have an sticking right and left button this is due to long usage. It is very common for an old unit. Try clicking both button several times without an external usb mouse. It may help but not completely.
