Did you try buying a new mouse? All mouse problems I have found are just
that - mouse problems. Sometimes when an optical mouse is failing then it
starts roaming because the light is getting some type of interference.

You can disable the touchpad when an external mouse in installed. Just go to
the Control Panel and the option is there.

My problem went away when I bought a new MS mouse and disable the touchpad.
