If you look in the the bottom right of the screen you should see an icon for your touchpad (or go to Control Panel > Mouse).
Right click and select Properties.
You should then have various options such as adjusting the sensitivity of the Touchpad, hiding the pointer when typing and disabling the touchpad when a USB mouse is connected.

Then perhaps its some "intellegent" mouse thing? Some laptop's ive come across do this sort of moving the mouse to where they think you want it to be, or moving to an open diaglog box automatically.
I can't really say, i've only come across it a few times

Which model "Dell inspiron" do you have?

Disable the touchpad and then retest. That shouldtell you if it's a touchpad software problem or something more sinister.

That is just your opinion - do you actually use a PC?

Yes I do.
Of course it's my opinion.
