stop uncontrolled touchpad scrolling

Sorry if this is dumb or simple, but my settings touchpad control doesn't open and I don't see anything on the extended menu mouse settings that would stop this:: the touchpad scrolling the page instead of moving the cursor: erratically and uncontrollably- it goes off, it goes on, and drives me crazy, cause it makes it very hard to click on anything when he page keeps rolling

hello!did you solve your problem in teh meantime? I have the same one. I've been suggested to format the PC and re-install teh software, but I'm reluctant to run this operation, as I'm not expert at all.
thank you for leting me know , if you have any suggestion.

 

touchpad dead

Now its got worse. Was doing wifi in Egypt and the touchpad just died- cursor is in middle of screen and doesn't move. Mouse works OK, but was so inactive thought whole thing fried. I have never been able to open the touchpad settings- it just flashes open for 1/2 second and closes. Any ideas folks- I aint going to reformat

 

I found the solution to the problem which apparently isn't- thanks to all the wizards who must know this- the RIGHT SIDE (1/3) OF THE TOUCHPAD SCREEN CAUSES SCROLLING OF PAGE rather than cursor (on many ACERs). The middle or left side moves cursor without scrolling. Still it is annoying- I'd rather shut it off. I read all the manuals and never saw one word about this
