    My freaking laptop is driving me nuts. The touch pad response is terrible. This just started happening in the last week or so. I have XP on it instead of the vista it shipped with. I also put a 7200 rpm hard drive in it. But I have had that on there for a year and a half so I know that isn't the problem. basically what happens is the curser won't respond. It acts almost as if the computer is froze up. If I right click I get response back but then the problem comes back soon. I went to the website and installed the XP pointing device driver but no change. Anyone have a similar problem. I don't know if I have a virus, a failing harddrive or what.
