Hi,

disable trackpad completely and get a usb wired mouse or a wireless mouse.

You might still have one knocking about, or get a cheapo from Argos, or even just borrow one to try it out first.

Hi Fruglal,

Can't find Trackpad, but will buy mouse - thanks (apologies for quick reply, the cursor is going crazy)

Hi Frugal,

I'm not back up and running again, after buying the mouse and switching off touchpad.

Thanks so much for your help, I appreciate it.

Have a great day.

If you look in Control Panel -> Mouse there may be a tab called Trackpad and an option "Disable trackpad when typing".

This option may be in another part of the Mouse pane, or not there at all.
Laptops and trackpad software vary a lot.

Thanks John

Laptop is back up and running again after following your advice.

Thanks so much for your help.
