cursor and typing problem

When typing, the computer stops and misses some letters and spaces. Also the
cursor stops then moves too far when I am moving the mouse around. Any
suggestions what the problem might be. It is an HP Laptop with Microsoft XP.
Thanks Denis

I had a simular problem with my Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook. Eventually, I
disabled touchpad, and been using regular USB mouse eversince. Touchpad was
freaking out.

I work with a lot of college student laptops and I see a frequent problem
similar to yours, Denis. Sergey's solution is a good one. What's happening is
that the touchpad can 'feel' pressure even when you just rest the heel of
your hand anywhere on the laptop. That pressure causes the cursor to be
erratic. Disabling the touchpad and getting an external mouse is the quickest
and surest solution. Or you might try to adjust the sensitivity of the
touchpad to require a little more pressure.
