Strange Touchpad behavior

edited August 2007 in Technology
On my new laptop there is a touchpad for mousing around. My old laptop had the same thing. Rather than have a scroll wheel button this one tracks your finger on the right side and bottom for scrolling. I'm having some strange issues where the mouse just jumps to a corner of the screen for no apparent reason. Always top right or lower left. Does anyone have any idea why this might be going on?

    Is the pad dirty at all? I know that on my laptop, if I get some gunk on it, or if I'm sweating, then my touchpad acts really funky.

    Did it come with software to calibrate it?

    Is there part of the pad that scrolls or does some other things? Maybe you're accidentially hitting that? Are there any controls under it that your palm may be brushing against? I know these are pretty simple things, but they may be the problem.

    It's on my brand new laptop and it does have the two scroll lines on the side and bottom.
