Hi
My husband installed a SSD into my lappy and reset to factory setting - all ok, faster now but as I type the word/s can be deleted but often jump up or down or in between sentences. Looked on google for help but the say disable touchpad but this not do the trick.

If your husband has the technical ability to install a SSD can he not also sort out this problem? Or at least get him post here rather than you, so that we don't get misinformation such as Windows 7xp.0

Don't want to turn off the touchpad and have no mouse and using the pointer in the centre of the keyboard is massively laborious.0
