sukumarpayikatti,

Check for hand and finger placement — The most common cause of random pointer movement is that the touch pad senses a finger or part of the hand near the surface of the device.
- Have the customer attempt to use the touch pad normally but to pay attention to the location of his or her hands and fingers. Are any straying too close to the touch pad?
- Adjust the Touch Sensitivity and TouchCheck settings in the Touch Pad Settings section of the Dell Touchpad Properties.
Try an external mouse — Does this problem happen with an external mouse attached?
- The Device Select section of the Dell Touchpad Properties has options to enable or disable the touch pad or external mouse. Try several combinations of these settings.

Thank You,
