Inspiron 8600 touchpad funkiness

[MDesigner]

I'm having a prob with clicking. It's really odd. Sometimes tapping the pad doesn't work, most commonly right after I've moved the mouse. So for example, if I'm moving the mouse towards a button and then tap to click it, nothing happens. I have plenty of experience with touchpads so I'm not doing anything stupid... it seems something is messed up or maybe the Alps touchpad settings are set in such a way that something is going on I'm not aware of.

Any ideas?

PS: This seems to happen randomly.

Get the latest drivers for the touchpad and install them. If you have the latest drivers, re install them.

Every oncei n awhile while typing my cursor goes wherever the heck it wants to. I'll try the new drivers, too. Hopefully it'll help.

Installed the latest drivers. Still does it. I'm gonna try posting on the dell support forums.
