It sounds like you have to adjust the settings of the touch pad - it
shouldn't do the things you describe. I'm sure after adjusting them,
you'll be more satisfied with it.
On a side note....a 69 year old gal I do computer work for, just started

model with a touchpad. She caught onto it very quick, and no longer
plugs her regular mouse in! Different strokes for different folks I
guess ;)
