Default Jumpy Trackpad

Hey,

I am having issues with my trackpad with it just moving by itself and being jumpy/intermittent.

I tried another user account, same issue and booting into Windows gives the same problem.

Is there anything else I should try or should I just book it into the Genius Bar.

Also how do I disable the trackpad whilst using a mouse?

EDIT: It is a 13" MBP

Can't be done - Apple removed this feature for all MacBooks with multitouch trackpads; this is so that you can use gestures while still having the mouse plugged in.
