Touchpad on Windows 8 Issue

[Platinum]

When I play using my touchpad (mouse not plugged in), anytime I press a key and try to move the touchpad, the mouse pointer stops in place and won't move until I let go of the key. Like if I press T for a T-click move, I can't move the mouse once the T is pressed. Any ideas?

Actually it seems like this is the same case whether I'm running Myth or not. Must be some weird Windows preference.

A Windows 8 issue, who knew?

Some laptop users actually prefer not seeing cursor movement due to accidental touchpad contact while typing, so manufacturers have created control mechanisms to address this issue. Synaptics refers to the setting as PalmCheck, but other manufacturers may have different names for it. Here is how to change the behavior of a Synaptics touchpad under Windows 8 (should be similar for other touchpads):

Yeah I turned that on thinking it would help since your palms do come close to touching the trackpad. Turning that off solved the issue though, thanks.
