How to properly use a mouse pad on a laptop?

Question

Has anyone else noticed how hard it is to use the mousepad? Suddenly the page moves itself up without my trying to move it up, and I have to keep using the up and down arrows on the right side of the screen to move the page back to where I want it to be. Sometimes when  I am navigating around a page and not even touching the mousepad, the page moves itself over to where I didn't want to end up simply because I moved my fingers towards that area. I know I could buy a regular mouse to plug in instead, but I don't really want to buy one as I do have one mouse I could use but it's attached to my desktop computer and I have to keep unplugging it to use it on the laptop when needed.

Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated. (I'm still fairly new to using a laptop)

I'm sorry to say that I also have this problem and I try as much as possible not to hover my hands over the mouse pad. It's difficult but not impossible.

Some laptops allow you to disable the trackpad so you can use a regular mouse. If it is a real problem for you, consider buying an inexpensive laptop mouse - they are quite compact and easy to slip into a bag or pocket. The control panel for the trackpad may offer a means to disable it.

You could also consider a wireless optical mouse.

Good Luck!

it must be you spilt something on there yet there is likewise a netbug which will in some circumstances deliver it haywire until finally you reboot. first try making use of a foam cleanser to dislodge something under the edge of the pad. then you may bypass to synaptics or toshiba and procure the latest driving force utility for it. worst case the pad had developed a fault and needs to get replaced. the final way is to get an entire precise off ebay and get somebody to alter it over for you.
