Toshiba Touchpad Pointer moves itself
Posted by kimiraikkonen on August 9th, 2006


Hello,
I use my Toshiba Satellite S1800-100 with Accupoint II Touchpad.

But when i'm not using the touchpad, the pointer moves itself. I use
Windows XP Professional and tried disabling "Enchance Pointer
Precision" option in Mouse Properties, but still it happens. I use XP's
standard internal PS/2 mouse driver

I also contacted Toshiba support team,

Any idea?

Thanks from now.

Moves where, and how permanently?

The docs for my IBM Thinkpad say that the cursor will wander short
distances for short periods of time occasionally as it "recalibrates"
itself.

But, the cursor on my Thinkpad would drive itself into the upper
right corner of the display. I could drag it back using the
trackpoint but as soon as I released the stick, the cursor would
return to the corner.

Replacing the keyboard fixed it permanently (the circuitry for both
the trackpoint and touchpad are contained in the R51's keyboard).

Hi Bert,
The pointer sometimes moves by itself temporarily, just for a few
seconds and sometimes.

Also,it goes left of screen sometimes, left-down of screen.

Toshiba said there's no need to change any hardware.

Could it be related to drivers? Now i installed ALPS pointing device
driver from Toshiba's site.

Thank you.

It occurs sometimes and it goes to the left of the screen and sometimes
goes to bottom.

It happens temporarily and sometimes just for a few seconds, so Toshiba
said there's no need to change any hardware.

Could it be because of the drivers? I installed ALPS pointing device
driver from my model of notebook at Toshiba site.

Thank you.

Regards.

that. Leave it alone until it stops. Trying to move it during
recalibration just makes the recalibration take longer.

Yes there's trackpoint or Accupoint II, somebody says : Change the
keyboard, but that's not permanent.

Regards.
