    Ok, firstly - it was the dog that did it, last night she walked across the laptop as I was sitting on the couch with it on my lap.

    ever since then, the screen moves when you move the trackpad - I dont know how to fix it, I thought it was something simple like the display or screen settings in preferences but I cant seem to find a solution.....can any of you please help ?

    As in you are zoomed in?

    Hold the cmd key and either use 2 fingers down on your trackpad or the down arrow key to zoom back out
