I found out that after I press a key on my Acer Aspire One netbook, I can't move the cursor for one second. This is very not convenience because I am playing games and I can't move my cursor while I am walking or something like that. Any idea?

I am using Windows 8, using a touchpad. Sorry if I am missing some important things.

Sounds like Windows, or your Touchpad's driver/utility has been set to "disable while typing".

To check/adjust the (generic) Mouse settings in Windows 8:

  1. In Metro Start, Click on Control Panel tile.
  2. Now click on More Settings option from left side menu.
  3. Old Control Panel Window will open. In Old Control Panel Window search for Mouse settings and click on Change Mouse Settings option from the search results.
  4. Mouse Properties window will pop up.
  5. Make adjustments as you'd like.

If you installed an Acer or another 3rd party driver, and they have not just added/replaced tabs and options on that screen, then you may have to check with them for specific instruction.

To all those people who can't find it on Synaptics Touchpad, go onto device settings, then settings. Open up the Pointing subsection and put the slider for palmcheck straight down. Hope this helps!
