Build 7127 - Laptop Screen Problem

Hi all
This is a problem that sometimes crops up with various laptops for reasons I can't understand.

I have ONE laptop where typing input sometimes causes the cursor to jump randomly all over the place. This is UNPREDICTABLE so making typing input such as a Word document totally impossible without looking 100% at the screen.

This behaviour I've seen on a few laptops with various versions of Windows.

However Disabling the Touchpad (I hate those anyway) seems to fix it.

The Generic synaptics touch pad driver seems to work for most laptops I've seen which show this behaviour. Use this driver to disable the touchpad and the problem goes away. There's a 64 bit version too.

Cheers

i had this problem when running vista but the synaptics update i got in 7100 has fixed it
