    Asus Laptop issue

    Have a Asus laptop. One year old. Using Win 7 OS. Lately the cursor will move to another location and will start typing over prior sentences. Have to edit and then continue. Starting to hack me off. Was thinking about going to a standard
    keyboard.... this is the first laptop I have ever had, been no problem til recently.. I did notice I get my hand near the
    smart pad, and this will cause an issue. But I have tried keeping away from it and it will still do this.. Thanks

    I believe touching the smart pad is giving you the problem. Disable it. There should be an F key you press with the Fn key to do this. Check your Manual or give us the model number of your laptop.

    Did find the Smart pad in mouse properties in Elan. I did disable. It still enables when ever I reboot... any way to disable permanently? Unless I go back and enable? Thanks

    The smart pad being re-enabled on re-boot is normal. I use Hibernate so that doesn't happen (plus about a 30 second boot up). Also, see Post #2. And 3?

    Open up the laptop and disconnect the touchpad wires.

    No, I wasn't kidding. JBH1876 ask if there was "any way to disable permanently?"

    Not at the moment but, there should be an ASUS Zenbook around here somewhere.
