Hello, I have a similar bug, also with an HP laptop. I will tell you how I can reproduce this:
move the touchpad while pressing caps-lock (the button that toggles the upper case letters) lots of times

this is by bug link https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/243931
I contacted HP for assistance and they told me that I sould use the recovery manager to reinstall windows vista.
Unfortunately in windows vista this problem is better handled by the driver (the touchpad stops wirking for some seconds, but then it works without problems)
