windows keep changing sizes

Hi,
I have had my new laptop with Vista on it about 2 weeks, and when I have a
window open: Word, Netscape, IE, etc, periodically the window will resize
itself --without me doing anything.

Is this a glitch in the program? when it happens, I am either clicking on a
link, scrolling, or moving the cursor. Is this happening to anyone else? Is
there something I can do to fix it?

thanks, susan

Look in the settings and options for the touchpad on that laptop. It sounds
like a setting that enables resizing if you press a certain part of the
touchpad, like a corner and scroll/click at the same time.
