How do I disable the "Auto zoom" feature on my laptop's keypad?

[cows1366]

I want to know how to shut off the "auto zoom" feature on my HP laptop. 

The mouse "pad" on my keyboard is worn shiny and I can't even scroll my cursor across the screen without the auto-zoom feature enlarging and shrinking the screen automatically.  It's driving me crazy!  I want to disable this feature.  Help...!
