Don't know if this is a commen problem or not, but I have no idea how to change the camer angle on my laptop. and sometimes it seems to randomly change itself to first person or an extremely unconfortable angle, and the only way i can find to change it is to hunt down my uncle's usb mouse and change it with the scrollbar. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or knew how to change the camera angle on a laptop?

The sudden jump to close angle is caused by the clipping in certain environment/towns. You can either swing the camera around to fix it or walk to a different place.

As far as fixing it on your laptop, I know some laptops have a 'scroll' option on their touch-pads, which is how you zoom the camera in and out.

Otherwise, you can go into your F11 menu and under the controls tab, you'll find the 'Zoom in' and 'Zoom out' controls which you can re-map to any keys you want.

Most newer touch pads have a "scroll" feature where sliding your finger along the edge (usually the right and bottom edges) will act like the scroll wheel on a mouse. My guess is that you are accidently causing a scroll while using the pad. You should be able to adjust the sensitivity of the trackpad to make scrolling less sensitive, or you could re-map the controls in GW Options so that some other keys are used for that function.
Also, as you may know, holding down the right mouse/trackpad button allows you to change the camera angle.
