I've bought a second hand Dell D800 and the mouse pointer is very unstable. It frequently drifts off to the upper right hand corner of the screen and dissappears. Touch the touch pad and it zips down to the bottom left corner and dissappears again. Rapid movement on the touch pad and some times it comes back and is normal for awhile the it starts again. Any ideas or suggestions on a cure?

It's a fault with the pointing stick. If you install the latest (Windows) driver here is an option in it's config to turn the stick off, which will solve you're problem.

All the best,
