My cursor jumps around while typing quite often. This is very annoying when trying to type anything. Is there a solution or a setting I need to adjust?

| Hi,
I have the same problem. I suggest you file a customer service email request. Look at the response they sent me below. I'm trying out their suggestions this week.
Bob F.
My original email:
[Problem Description]
Persistent keyboard problem: Linux, WinXP, Win 7:
While typing in Word, Notepad, anything, the text pointer suddenly jumps to the cursor
insertion point, wherever the cursor is. I must then delete the text and reposition the
cursor to the end of the last good character typed.
This event generally happens while I am typing several words, e.g., responding to
email, google search, etc.
========================
Their reply:
Dear Valued Customer,
Thank you for contacting ASUS Customer Service.
Do you use the Windows 7 on your Eee PC now?
If so, please reinstall the ACPI driver for a try.
Here is the download site of the driver for your reference:
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?model=Eee%20PC%201000/XP&f_name=Asus_ACPI_Driver.zip&f_type=26&os=17
Please be noticed before you install the new ACPI driver, you need to remove the old one from the Control Panel.
If the problem persists, it might be a hardware problem on your keyboard.
So please contact Asus TSD to set up an RMA for repair on the system.
Would you please refer to the following page and fill in the RMA Submittal Form:
http://vip.asus.com/eservice/usa_rmaserv.aspx
You can give a call to question the details in advance.
RMA: 812-282-ASUS(2787) - option 2; option 4
Tech support: 1-888-678-3688

| I filled out a customer service request and never heard back from anyone. I have the same problem with my EEE PC 1005HA. How do you uninstall the ACPI driver on Windows 7?

Disable touchpad tapping to fix this. It's caused by your hand inadvertently brushing the touchpad as you type.

When I installed Windows 7 I hadn't updated the driver for the touchpad. I downloaded the latest Synaptics driver today and that gave me the options I needed to disable the touchpad when I need to. That fixes the problem.
Odd, though, because I'd thought of the touchpad as being the problem. I typed using 'two fingers' and avoided the touchpad but still had the problem. Oh well.

@kliper69 Two quick ways. 1) There should be a button in the upper left portion of the keyboard landscape... press it and it should illuminate -or- 2) press [fn] [F3). Both will toggle the touch pad on and off.

I know there has been some time between posts but am having the same problem with my 1015PED. What ended up working for me was disabling the drag feature on Elan and downloading toughpadfreeze - freeware that freezes the pad when typing. So far this seems to be working. Alan

Can any really" wow, can anyone read that and make sense out from it? That's what I have to put up> -Pls help
