Mouse pointer

I have looked all over and do not see a solution to my problem. My mouse pointer has a mind of it's own even when typing. Also, I have the pointer set to not show when typing but it still sets on where I am typing especially in Facebook it has a box where I am typing. I have set the sensitivity way down on the touch pad and am at a loss as what to do. Sometimes when in Microsoft Explorer and moving the mouse an object or folder is selected and moved on it's own. I do not see anything here in reference to my problem. Even when typing the cursor moves randomly into another area and adds the typed letters there. I use the touch pad only and NO external mouse. Please help.

Hi try re installing the touch pad driver

I did and it says it is up to date. I even did a full scan with Kaspersky and Malwarebytes and all is said to be OK.

Is it a wireless mouse? Change the batteries.

Like I stated, "TOUCHPAD ONLY"

Why do people give such uneducated answers to a problem. If i wanted to use a different mouse i would. Please people, if you are going to give an answer make it an educated one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Duehue,
This is gonna sound silly but i would like you to roll back your driver

WHY.

With the intro of W10 there were numerous problems with the OEM/Synaptics touchpad drivers.
multiple releases have been made sinse, and its possible that some of these are now incompatible with W7.

did you go to the manufacture web site and download the touch pad driver and install. not going to device manager and update from their. also have you checked the palm rest setting?
