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:

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.

Also see the comment below that shows where to find this setting for the Synaptics Touchpad. – Michael Chermside – 2014-07-22T20:33:56.290
This works. Thanks. I have to look into the settings of the driver. – Derek 朕會功夫 – 2012-07-15T20:43:08.167

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!

3how about you share some info with us like: OS? Is this new, or did it always do this? What device are you trying to use to move the cursor? If it's a touchpad, have you ensured any "disable while typing" options are turned off? – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2012-07-15T20:25:36.313
disable while typing? Where can I find that option? – Derek 朕會功夫 – 2012-07-15T20:27:14.343It will most likely be in your touchpad's driver/utility. Or perhaps the general Windows pointer options. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2012-07-15T20:31:35.837
I can't find that option... I am using Synaptics TouchPad. – Derek 朕會功夫 – 2012-07-15T20:36:19.500
