Having a lot of trouble with my tablet today regarding the touch screen. I tried wiping it with an optical cloth. Any ideas what's wrong? Also sometimes I hit on one thing but another thing above will respond instead. Only happening today.

Try restarting the tablet and see if it fixes it. If not, the screen could be going bad. How old is the tablet?

I think this tablet is going on four years old. The touch screen seems to be ok now. Maybe all of the humidity we had lately for a long time affected it? Now we are getting down to the mid 80s and it's cooler at night again.
