Touchpad and Keys

I'm using an ACER AspireONE netbook.

Does anyone know how to use the keys and touchpad simultaniously?
If I press a key, there's about a 2 second lock on the touch pad.
It must be some sort of function, but I can't figure out how to find it or turn it off.

Running Windows XP.

 

TouchPad problem

see attached screenshot of the keys after I re ran the scan

so i assume next steps are to have that program open that you suggested whilst using the laptop and then when the touchpad gets disabled to check if the keys have changed?
