problems with my touchpad on my netbook

ive been having trouble with my touchpad its a synaptic pad. my problem is whenever i drag my finger across i a lot of times get this grey circle and i cant move anymore i have to take my finger off and start again its very annoying and the icon for the touchpad thats by the clock gets like a curved arrow in it and if i move my finger a little bit while this grey circle appears the arrow rotates in a circle its very weird! i have a Asus 1101HAB netbook and ive tried to update the driver when the asus updates appear and when i do it and restart the computer, then a couple days later maybe it pops up again saying i have an update and its for the touchpad and its the same version... not sure if its a bigger problem its only a week old that ive had this computer. If someone could help it would be much appreciated.

"Check the touchpad software that came with your laptop and make sure everything is configured correctly.

It sounds like your computer could be mixing up the movement of the mouse with keyboard strokes. Which I would usually say is a driver problem, however as you've updated your drivers this is the only other solution."
