Hello, Hey I have a latitude c510 laptop running win 2000, tried to update to xp but no success, I have had this for awhile works great but hear lately the cursor is wandering all over the screen. I use the mouse on the keyboard pad and when I try to put the cursor on something it just moves away, drives me crazy. When i reboot it works for awhile any infor would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

I was using my Toshiba Satellite and it froze up. I turned it off and then back on and my mouse pad stopped working. My cursur will move and highlight an icon but will not follow the command when clicked. I tried the function key and f9 and nothing.

Thank you for any help provided.
