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?
