The cursor on my ASUS (now the name seems kind of odd) has a life of its own. I'll be moving it up and down, using the two-finger method, or not doing anything, and it will just jump around and select whatever it happens to touch. I've tried changing the mouse settings, but nothing works.
I had this issue on an old notebook in one of my labs (and I am still using that computer). There are some things you can try though your mileage may vary if they actually work or not. First I would make sure that it is the actual trackpad and not something else on your computer. Disable the trackpad and use an external mouse for a while and see if the problem replicates itself. Hopefully it doesn't.
You can completely uninstall and re-install the drivers for the trackpad if that happens to be the problem. I would also see if someone has made better 3rd party drivers than what Asus is offering. Additionally, you can reformat your system as a last ditch effort and see if that solve the issue. Otherwise you are looking at a hardware problem that could be anything from a simple connection issue or something deeper involving your motherboard and/or the trackpad itself.
i think i found the answer to my own question. i went to the control panel, clicked on the small icons, and in the middle of the screen is an icon "Multi-finger." When you click on that you get several icons that tell you how to set up the multi-finger (who decides on these idiot names). One of the icons is for sensitivity. It was set on the highest setting. I reset it and it seemed to help.
