I got a new laptop for Christmas and am having a problem that I hope someone can give me advise on...

Hope someone knows something out there.

Is it possible that your hand is rubbing on the mouse pad while you are typing?

Just a first thought

That happens to my son with his computer . I think it may be a Samsung?? He got a separate mouse and solved the problem. Worth a try?

There was a lot of info in that blog and I am surely not a techie.
I have a Samsung...a gift.

I had never heard of Enhanced Pointer precision feature OR downloading Touchfreeze...and I am kinda scared of playing with a new laptop....so, I shall ask DH.

Anyone else out there heard of these things...
NO mac for me San Nic...gotta use my gift here. I know some swear by them though.
