hi,
my keyboard and my trackpad is jumping from one spot to another when i'm typing something... it's really annoying because when i'mtyping something important for my office or study it leads to missspellings... do i have to install a newer software or is there an hardware issue? so please help:)

Are you by any chance accidentily hitting the trackpoint when you type?

You can desensitize it in ThinkPad configuration in Control Panel.

I had the same problem-- so I just disabled the touch pad completely.

Notice, I said trackpoint, not touchpad. However, since turning off click on touch of the touchpad seems to have helped things, you might also want to raise the sensitivity of the palm check feature of the touchpad. Sometimes people hit the touchpad with their palmes without realizing it.
