Travis I’m pretty sure you or someone else asked this question on here before… I litteraly have people walking in my store on a weekly basis angry or freaking out that their cursors are goign made, especially when they type. They get kind of mad when I tell them its their own fault due to their palms touching the side of thr track pad :rofl Unfortunately Palm check does not do much on some machines because a very light brush of the palm will cause it and sometimes it still happens. I notice it a lot on newer HP’s… I fucking hate their trackpads Travis, turn off your track pad while your typing and see if it still happens, chances are theirs a button right about it thats lit up just press that then it will turn off, if its a new HP try the top left corner (tapping it once) If not up in the function keys there should be a track pad “symbol” on one of them to turn it off… what model laptop? and JDaniels im guessing you get this question alot to? :rofl ---

There are programs that will turn off your track pad while you type. I use one. ---

Give me STEP BY STEP directions on how to turn it off, because, like I said twice already, I have **_NO_** idea how to do that. It’d be like me telling you to go change the tire on a Saab 340B. ---
