Keyboard/touchpad acting weird and random

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I recently formatted my machine, and ever since my keyboard or touchpad (I`m not quite sure which is causing it) is acting very random and annoying. I might be writing something such as now, and then suddenly the focus might switch to someplace earlier in the text, often "marking" and thus deleting stuff that I`ve written. Other times it might jump all the way to another writing box alltogether (such as the title entry) and sometimes it even decides to push the combo which makes the browser go to the previous page. This happens in all the programs and is obviously very annoying. It`s hard to describe exactly what happens, but basically the keyboard or the touchpad is acting erratically at random.

Does anyone have a clue what is causing it and how it might be fixed?

EDIT: Ah, I think I`ve found out what causes it. I think the option that makes it so that when you "push" on the trackpad it acts as the left mouse-button. This of course I find utterly annoying, so where is the option for turning if off? Cant seem to find it...
