Hi Turnagain,
Welcome to the HP Forums!:smileyhappy:
I would like to take a moment and thank you for using the forum, it is a great place to find answers. For you to have the best experience in the HP forum, I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I understand that you are having a difficulty with the click pad and random touches or gestures. Here is a link to Using and Troubleshooting the TouchPad or ClickPad (Windows 8). Theres is a link to disabling it, if that is what you decide.
If you would like further assistance, would you provide the exact model of HP 2000 you have and the Operating System you are running.
