I have a laptop and the mouse touchpad is really choppy when I move it, but not all the times. I tried newer and older drivers and updating the video card. It used to work fine until I re-installed Windows XP Pro on it. It does not move choppy all the time but just at random times, no matter what programs I am running. Any ideas what else I could check that would cause it.

Download new synaptics drivers from the laptop manufacturer's web site. Then remove and reinstall the synaptics touch pad software/drivers.
clean with solution of 1/2 denatured alcohol, and 1/2 distilled water. No Windex or other cleaner with ammonia in it.
Blow out the keybaord while upside down with canned air difluoroethane gas... such as Dust Off. Also blow out USB, ethernet, and modem ports.
If this is a Synaptics touch pads, you have one of the most reliable mouse systems there is. If it requires replacement, they are easy to replace and relatively inexpensive.
Alternately, use the small gray and black Logitech USB mouse commonly available at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, Target, and other such places.
