    HP, windows 7xp SSD

    yes, the cursor moves when touching pad

    i have tried to type without touching touchpad but still jumps intermittently.

    Thanks
  • There should be a Fn Key to turn off the touchpad but HP is vague we would need a model and windows 7xp ?? I would get a mouse and turn off the touchpad , I have problems leaning/sneezing/looking on/at my touchpad:p

    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.

    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.

    OK then get the person that installed the SSD to check that they have not disturbed the cables for the touchpad/keyboard, we can't check from here:cool:
