Blinking cursor in line while scrolling

This problem has happened since I downloaded Firefox a few days ago. My problem is that when I scroll, a cursor blinking line thing or whatever is called spoil my scrolling to the bottom of pages. Instead the page just a little more each time I push the bottom and to the top of the arrow keys on my keyboard, the page instead jumps just at the top or bottom and every time he jumps, that thing little blinking line is still there (when I say "this thing little flashing line" I mean this flashing line that is always there when you) type something.). I have no idea how disable it (and Yes, I tried pushing the F7 key) and the thing becomes angry and I can't scroll pages of my site because of it. Anyone have any ideas?

Hello Nickc15, if you can leave caret browsing through the F7 key, tell him instead: enter on: config in the address bar of firefox (confirmed the message information where it appears) and search for the preference named accessibility.browsewithcaret. Double-click it, change its value to false and restart the browser eventually.

  • Cursor duplicate in Word while scrolling on Satellite A100-159

    I have a satellite A100-159. I have the following problem: in Word the cursor happens sometimes while scrolling. This means that during the scrolling I see two sliders that is 'left behind' and a real cursor (when I use PG. prev or PAGE down or box that disappears the cursor "left behind"). I already reinstalled Word and in other applications it doesn't seem to be a problem (but I have to say that I use the Word most, with large documents).

    Any ideas to solve the problem?

    Best regards, Eddy

    I think that happens because of fast scrolling of large, long word documents.
    Unfortunately, I think it's a matter of Word and there is nothing to do.
    But you suggested that happens sometimes, and only in Word so I think that it s a big problem.

  • Firefox hangs for a short second while scrolling.

    Very well. I will do my best to explain this and the steps I tried in vain to resolve the issue.

    Normal use (even without any addons at all) after a short time, 5-10 minutes, sometimes faster my Firefox stutters for a second, my mouse stops during stuttering and then it thaws. Once that starts happening, it happens VERY frequently, like all the other seconds, when I scroll to the top and to the bottom of a page is when it is more sensitive, the mouse cursor stops while firefox is 'frozen' and he returned after a short second.

    I tried many things: I completely deleted firefox to my system, most of the registry entries, all linked files, deleted and I tried a fresh install again. That seemed to help for a second, but after a few minutes of browsing the symptoms return.

    I have concluded that it is not addon for, as I began cool and does not have everything on my last attempt to reboot, that she was having the same problem with or without addons

    I have tried this fix sessionstore.js, increasing the interval, disable it completely, that doesn't seem to help either.

    This does not happen on Chrome, is that firefox does it. It is not even a serious if it's a website, if I scroll to the top and down on the troubleshooting page in firefox it stutters even while scrolling.

    I tried everything I know to do, and I can't fix it myself. Please, if you can help I would appreciate it.

    I solved this problem. The problem was my Ipod is connected to the computer. Whenever the ipod is plugged in, firefox stuttered and offbeat as indicated. I noticed when I got my ipod disconnected for a while to use another usb device, firefox has been resolved, I thought it was the update of this week to be fixed. Couple of days later, I plugged my Ipod in, the problem returned. But, since I started to load my ipod Besides, the problem disappeared. Thus, someone at - it still have this problem, check to see if you have an ipod, an iphone or another usb storage device is connected.

    Hello

    No saving necessary data and re-installing Windows Vista might be the best option, but here
    are a few others.

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
    Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or other USB drives.
    Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

    Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data.

    A method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is CTRL +.

  • I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook. (No DVD player). From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.

    I have an Acer Aspire One Netbook.  (No DVD player).  From the start on the hard drive, I get a black screen with a blinking cursor.  The cursor does not type.  For me, maybe I need to reinstall windows 7 and startup tasks are corrupt.  I have my product key genuine for the computer, but no way to get to windows.  How to restore windows on a netbook that won't start?

    original title: Netbook Windows 7 problem

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    Borrow a 32 bit Genuine Windows 7 friends DVD disc if you know someone who has one.

    Make an image of the DVD, you can use a program like ISO Recorder to do.

  • Elements 8, blinking cursor with circle of waiting

    I recently had to reinstall my OS (Win 7 64 bit) and after doing the same thing to my photoshop program, I now get a blinking cursor that changes to a circle of waiting. Another post talks about DPI and Java, which I checked and still have the same problem. I had the program installed on the same computer without this problem, and the Setup is the same with the usual update among drivers. Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. I tried the online chat, but assumes that the program is no longe taken in charge, because he refered me to the section of the forum.

    Hi Pete,.

    I have good and bad news. The good is that the problem seems to have disappeared. The bad news, I don't know exactly which program was causing it. For anyone else following this thread, I'll explain. Disabling the antivirus did nothing, same problem. When I went the msconfig, I choose the road shorter and verified "base load devices and services only. After the reboot, I could open the organizer but not the Publisher. I got an error code saying that the license for the product has stopped working. I changed back to normal startup and restarted. This time the problem took more time to start but lasted only 30 seconds or so, then stopped. I might have stopped there, but I wanted to see if I could figure out what program was the cause of the problem. My rig is customized with the limited startup items. I had only 10... printer, steam, audio, adobe etc. I've disabled 6 (keeping microsoft at startup programs) and restarted. When I opened PS8 there is NO blinking cursor. I enabled all startup programs once again, in the hopes of having the problem if I could choose systematically each, to try to ID the program causing the problem. No luck. With all the same initial startup programs from, the problem did not wash.

    The bottom line is one of the six, and I don't know which unless it happens again. If so, I know where to begin the search. I would never have guessed he was one of the programs to start Thank YOU for hanging there in it and give me advice. What should occur is by turning off and then on some program was causing the flashing, the culprit must have fixed itself.

    I appreciate really help and thank you again once.

  • Alienware Aurora R4 attends BIOS blinking cursor

    My brother turns on its Alienware Aurora R4, Windows 7 (64 bit) / and BIOS version A06 BIOS splash screen comes up as usual, the loading bar gets about 25% of the full path, then it will beep once and the screen goes black with a flashing cursor (line underscore) in the left corner high and there it is.

    Without these changes have been made to the machine (hardware or software), and he has not had problems before; However, he managed to disconnect the machine as he ran the previous night, and the blinking cursor boot was apparently the first boot from.

    I have really no idea where to go from here in terms of diagnosis of the problem, but I have a vague feeling that it is an easy solution...

    Any help is appreciated, I have not found many similar problems through google...

  • NB200 does not start after the bios - screen black screen with blinking cursor

    Hello

    I was using the laptop as usual when I think there may have been a virus activity - reason I say that is that my anti-virus closed unexpectedly. I couldn't restart programs files.

    I restarted the laptop.

    After the bios menu will I get a blank screen with a blinking cursor - windows does not start.

    I did the following:
    (1) create a USB bootable with Recovery Console window XP - boot with this i can see three drives C:, D: as SDA? I can see the content of these disks, so it seems that my HD works. I ran a fixmbr and fixboot, but this has not solved the problem.
    (2) create a Kaspersky bootable USB virus scan - ran it without problem - he found a few question (not on the disk boot sector) I've fixed.

    An option was to copy files from the laptop and then start it in recovery mode - so Itried to run the phone into recovery mode hold down the 0 key at startup - the bottom of the screen then displays * HDD Recovery mode * and nothing happens.

    Any help - other options would be greatly appreciated.

    My 1 year of that guarantee has expired a few months back so can't send in for repair.

    Hello

    I doubt that it is a virus.
    Seems the file system is damaged on the HARD drive and this is the reason why the laptop does not start until it could also be a partition of HARD disk malfunction.

    If this is not possible, then you will need to reinstall new OS.

    Here you can order a recovery disc:

  • Tecra M2 - black screen with blinking cursor

    Hi guys,.

    Im hoping someone out there might be able to help me fix my laptop.
    Ive read a few posts, but not sure they can help me.

    When I swicth on my Tecra M2, I just end up with a black screen with blinking cursor top-left, or I get a screen filled with a mix of 0 and 1.
    Sometimes the home TOSHIBA screen appears with the boot options, other times it doesn't.

    I can't boot from a CD and it does not start on the HARD drive. Ive took the HARD drive on and the CDROM outside but it does the same thing that suggests to me that its does not get via the BIOS as far as the boot sequence.

    This sounds like failure of the BIOS for you and you know a way to fix it? Ive tried to take the battery, turn off and start again, but the same thing happens.

    Any advice would be appreicated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The cursor blinking in the upper left corner is known to me.
    I got a same problem or question may be similar.
    My laptop (from another manufacturer) didn t start but only the cursor appeared.

    In my case, the HARD drive was dead, and the operating system could not be loaded.
    In your case, the HARD drive may be dead, but usually the laptop must be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive so I m wondering why you are not able to boot from the disk
    However, the first of all what you need to check if the HARD drive is listed and recognized by the BIOS.

    Press ESC, then F1 to access the BIOS.
    You can also set the BIOS to default settings too.

    If the HARD drive is not recognized, you should replace the HARD disk.

    Hello

    I agree with Akuma.
    Blinking cursor means that the Windows OS can not be loaded / booted up.
    You need to reinstall new OS.

    If you have a Microsoft windows CD you can use this disk to reinstall the operating system. The necessary drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba page.
    Otherwise, you would need order a recovery disc Toshiba from here:

    Hey,.

    I had the same problem last week on another Toshiba laptop and the solution was to reinstall Windows Toshiba recovery disc.

    1 restart does not help. Windows starts to load and says "Windows Recovery" but then returns to the black screen and the blinking cursor.

    2 press and hold F8 does nothing.

    3. I installed a program of NTFS file and deleted the ATI drivers as another (old) suggested post. It did not set the issue.dd

    4. I restarted my key USB from Bootcamp/Windows 7, however, the keyboard and the mouse are dead when the Windows Setup screen appears.

    The Mac partition continues to operate correctly. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. The first time that this has happened, I finally gave up and had to wipe the HD, reinstall Windows and all software. I lost at least a whole day of work because of this. I'd really, really prefer not to have to reformat again - especially because it seems that this could happen just once again. Is this a known issue with the display and Windows 7 drivers?
