NEC LitePad Tablet PCHealing a 'crazy cursor' bug which causes the pen/cursor to move to and click at the top right hand corner of the screen (in Portrait mode) or the button right hand corner of the screen (in Landscape mode). This can cause randomly close windows or open up the Date and Time dialog box. Very annoying! The real hardware reason for this problem is caused by AC leakage from the power supply (which should be outputting only DC and very low amounts of AC). 80VAC zooming around trying to earth the device probably generates quite a bit of EM interference which screws around with the tablet digitizer. You can permanently fix the problem by adding additional electro-magnetic shielding to your Tablet PC. All you need are a screwdriver and some aluminium foil.
