I have returned to original settings and tried other basic settings like those mentioned here. My dell c600 is haveing a serious mouse drifting problem and i try all i could but is not o.k uptill now then what can i do.ДЇollow the instructions above and use a PS/2 mouse instead of a USB mouse I tried all the advice above but to no avail.

I have this problem but on a Dell Precision M60 - how do I switch off the touch pad to stop the mouse drifting? It's driving me mad! Its a shame, as mots other laptop mfr's have got over the accidental activation of the pad with a simple touchswitch to disable the touchpad when not in use. So far the mouse drift problem seems to be fixed. It came back very quickly, with a note that they had replaced the keyboard and the 'palm rest assembly'. That didn't fix it, so finally they had me send the machine in to their support center. Nothing worked, so they sent me a new keyboard for my laptop. I contacted support about this problem, and over the course of several weeks they had me try every setting and troubleshooting step you can imagine. If your Dell is still under warranty, they will fix this if you are persistent. I tried the driverz,worked for some days well but again the mouse started drifting:-( I have this same issue with several versions of Linux.

The number of posts on the internet relating to this topic is stunning! This seems to be a serious issue,common to a wide range of Dell laptops.Changing the bios setting seems to work, if you actually have a PS2 mouse connected, not a USB mouse.In my opinion this seems to be a hardware related issue with the keyboard or touchpad, not a Windows XP driver issue. I bought this Dell used at a swap meet and was begining to think that I had been dupped. Well Bios changes seems to have fixed it for me, in both XP and in Linux (dual boot). This sets the sample rate to 200 instead of the default 100 and seems to control the drift completely. I found out that to add the option -s 200 to the gpm command solves the problem for me: There was a mention on a Dell support forum concerning the refresh rate. Problem solved!!!!ДЄwesome! I went into Bios F2 and changed the settings to PS2 and it works! On my Dell Latitude! YA!!!YAYAYAY!

Finally at my wits end I looked up the manual on the dell website, located the correct cable (the trackpoint cable) and cut it in half. I stumbled across a web site that recommended cutting the trackpoint cable. My computer started doing this 3 months ago, I thought I was doomed to suffer with this. I didn't know that it was called mouse drift until yesterday. Problem solved.my touchpad works like brand new!!! I bought a new touch pad from a vendor on eBay. I had the erratic, touchy touch pad problem on my Dell Inspiron 5100. Man, thanks so much for that info, this drifting was freaking me out so bad, I hope I got over it now.I was tempted several times to smash my notebook.ДЇor everybody whoВґs reading this right now and cant get the mouse to focus, use the little stick in the keyboard, if u really crank it itВґll work for a while (just as Chris said lol) This cutting the wire thing has anybody tried that? Tried to change the setting of the touchpad but it seemed to be locked, how do I get around this? Thanks - finally able to use my laptop without much frustration and tabbing! Now the touchpad functions like true champ. Thanks for the solution.Д«ro thanks a bunch.your solution was quick, easy and it worked.

The new drivers do help a bit - they make the touchpad a little more jittery as well though.ДЄ huge thankyou! I've been cursing this drifting pointer for ages - it's been an intermittant problem but now it's fixed. My latitude C810 has the same problem - unfortunately I use the touchpad a lot (usually sitting on the couch).
