I can't stand to do emails any more, as I have to keep deleting and moving back to the proper spot! Anyone know what could cause this??


Hello YL - my new Latitude did that as well, in the beginning. What I learned was that while I was typing my thumb would just barely touch the mouse, (located where I usually rest my thumbs) and the cursor would jump all over the place. It was so casual, I didn't even feel my finger touching the pad. I also found out that hitting the Enter key too hard would sometimes cause me to send an email before I had completed it.

Very sensitive things are these notebooks.
