That tablet has a very sensitive touch pad - I have used it and it drives me crazy. I finally figured out how to disable it. Until then I ended up taping some index cards over the touch pad so it wouldn't happen! :)

Try going in to the control panel and looking for mouse or pointing devices and see if you can disable there. Gary

I have a Toshiba Satellite and use a Logitech wireless mouse. The computer senses the wireless receiver in the USB port and automatically turns off the touchpad. Go to Control Panel and select devices, select mouse and then mouse properties. The far right tab (device settings) has a check box that allows you to disable the internal pointing device (touchpad) when an external USB pointing device is attached. Hope that this helps.

Is your PC metal enclosed? The samsungs are, and are great little machines, but the metal,casing causes the cursor to easily jump around when your hand/fingers brush against the metal while typing. Static, I assume.

I had the same problem with my mac laptop. I removed the battery and that temporally solved the problem. When the problem re occurred I added more memory --- been good ever since. I know very little about computers.

Thanks, however they only change at every minute or more and they show the next picture in your folder. Kind of crappy.

I would need a prescription for a way to disable that pad.
Going to the control panel, hardware and sound, mouse, hardware, shows 2 mice. The second one is called PS/2 compatible. Going to properties, driver, shows 4th blanked out. i.e can not disable. the PS/2 mouse that would be the touch pad. Deleting the driver makes you reboot and the driver loads again.
Only the first mouse entry give me a choice to disable it.

Just made a change in the mouse setup under [pointer options and snap to], disabled snap to, and it seems to be working better. Stay tuned for the rest of the story.

Had the same problem with my Lenovo laptop, no matter how careful I was to not come in contact with the touch-pad. Solved the problem by getting a wireless, Logitech keyboard and Mouse combo, that is much better than the laptop keyboard.
