    my cursor is acting up as well, i turned my track pad settings down to 0, to stop the jitter of the cursor going haywire all over the screen, but stil even using a wired logitic mouse, still jumps and moves away from where i want the cursor to be. kinda hard to play starcraft period. i didnt have this problem until this late last night around 10pm fell asleep watching clash of the titans online. the track pad was fine until i woke up, the mouse was moving around and not responding properly. this macbook pro is 2-1/2 years old btw, if the problem continues im going to have to send i away and have the trackpad replaced.

    I didn't see this thread, I posted about the same behaviors on my trackpad. I can get my pad "reset" (if you will) by removing and reinstalling the batteries. But I have had the behavior return a couple a different times now.
