Hi,

My TouchPad Pointer has recently become Erratic. Notebook computer wasn't
used for some time and when I turned it on I noticed the Pointer problem.

I clicked on the 'Mouse' Icon in the Control Panel and changed the device
settings many times adjusting the Sensitivity from light to heavy, etc. And
even went back to a earlier Restore Point - and nothing has worked.

The pointer is jerky and stops suddendly or jumps when I am using My TouchPad.

Hope someone can offer a suggestion even though the computer is over 6 yo old.

Jean

Soooo what does your touchpad have to do with a windows xp NG?
Contact the computer manufacturers tech support.

Hardware problem, corroded contacts perhaps? Disassemble and reseat the
touchpad connector, or have someone qualified do it.

In six years, there have been a lot of updates to Windows XP. Some of
which may have affected the way it interacts with the Touchpad. Look
on your computer manufacturer's webpage under "support" and see if
there is a newer/updated touchpad driver that you can install on your
computer.

Alternatively, see if you can determine the manufacturer of the
touchpad in the Device Manager and search that manufacturer's website
for an updated driver.

HTH,
John
