From: Terry Farrell on 25 Mar 2010 11:15 The usual reason for a 'wondering' cursor is an oversensitive touchpad. Have you tried disabling the Touchpad to see if that eliminates the problem?

From: Terry Farrell on 26 Mar 2010 17:05 On most Netbooks and Laptops, one of the Function Keys is assigned to toggle the touchpad on/off. Typically, you press the FUNC key +F7 or F8 (one should be the Touchpad and the other the wireless). Terry >> . >> An over sensitive touch pad was indeed the problem.

I love that my HP laptop has a dedicated button to turn the touchpad off and on. -- Suzanne S.
