Notebook mouse pad driving me crazy

Hi Kids!

When I tap on my mouse pad it usually works but many times per lets say 15 min period when I tap on it strange things happen. Usually it minimizes or maximizes the window, sometimes as I'm scrolling around on it I'll see all the contents of my desktop appear in a transparent screen. I'm new to the use of a laptop and I am wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if I should just keep regretting having bought it from bestbuy (I was so broke and desperate when I bought it, so sorry...):cry

 

Buy a USB wireless mouse and save the finger strain that those dang touch pads give you would be my answer. Touch Pads are great when your actually mobile ie car, plane where a desk is not available, but when a desk is available give me a wireless mouse, but then I have Fat fingers go figure.

 

Also use an external keyboard, USB (or serial/PS2 if you have either port), as external keyboards are usually better than the laptop keyboard if you use your laptop from a fixed position like a computer desk. External keyboards also have a separate numeric keypad, as you probably know.
