• Portege R500 - cursor often jump back a line or several spaces back

  I just bought a R500.
  When you type, the cursor jumps back a line often or several spaces back.
  It's an involuntary yip, and I don't think it's a human error of keyboard.

  How can I stop this? Any advice?

  Best regards, Ron

  Hello

  Disable the touchpad while typing. You can do that by pressing the Fn + F9 key combination.
  I had the same problem and it was caused by touching the surface of the touchpad while typing.

  Seems that Toshiba portable computers have a bit of a history with this type of problem .

  There is a suggestion that I have to re - charge the pack of bluetooth applications.
  Try to talk to Toshiba tech.support in the United Kingdom, but they are on a holiday.

  Has anyone else had the same problem and have you known the problem solutions?

  Thanks a mill! Katie x

  Hi mate

  I read on this issue of cursor on the different laptop models (from different manufacturers).
  But in most cases, the users didn't note that the touchpad was accidentally while typing of touchpad.
  You said you checked this hmm but in any case, try to disable the touchpad while typing just for test purposes

  In addition, some have said that the BIOS update can also be useful
  So if the most recent BIOS is available, updated it!

• Cursor jumps periodically on Portege M700

  Can anyone propose a resolution to a problem I have?

  While I'm typing, the cursor jumps periodically around on the screen. This means that a moment I'm on a particular line, the next I'm inserting text in a line somewhere else in the document.

  It is a defective machine or is this a "feature" of the M700?

  Before you start typing disable TouchPad by using the FN + F9 key combination. I do the same.
  Try it. I hope that the slider will not jump around again.

• Portege R500 does not start from the XP CD

  My basic problem is the following - I have a Portege r500 with Vista on it. I'm moving from Vista to XP Pro, but when I put a bootable XP installation CD in the drive, it turns, looking around for awhile and then I get a blank screen with a cursor blinking on it.

  Now, I've done this before, so I know that something is supposed to happen, but nothing don't. And I tried 3 well-known installation CD, is not a problem of CD. Do I need some update BIOS/firmware to boot from the CD on this thing? Or am I missing something?

  Help!

  Thank you.

  Often the Portege R500 should be able to boot from the CD/DVD drive and should begin the procedure of installation of the CD Win XP SP2 installation.

  But it is a tricky thing.
  The Portege R500 needs an Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM). This iMSM is necessary to recognize the HARD drive and install Win Xp on the HARD drive.

  I recommend you and create a new CD of Win XP starting with software called nLite to integrate the SP2 of Microsoft and Intel Matrix Storage Manager (iMSM) in Win XP.

  You can then use this CD for installation.

• Cursor jump - is NOT a problem of keyboard!

  Windows 8. My mouse jumps at the beginning of almost all fields of text every few seconds. Note that this is not random jumping - the cursor jumps only at the beginning of the field. I say "almost all" because this forum post is the first I've found where it does not. The problem never happens offline programs, the toolbar or login form fields. Only the fields of text in Firefox. Cannot duplicate in Chrome. I was typing stuff in my word processor and then copy and paste to get anything done on my blog or email. Restarted my computer, and then uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No improvement. I tested and is not remotely to a keyboard problem, such as cursor more jump.

  See what is happening in Firefox Safe Mode.

  Support of the USA asked me write here
  May be someone can help generate answers unlock code?
  Model is Portege R500 PPR50E-06W012RU

  Protection of the BIOS is a very important feature for protection, so it cannot be discussed in the public forum.

  I know that it costs a bit, but this should be done by the authorized service provider.

• Portege R500 - RAM and disk SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a PORTEGE R500 bought in 2007, SERIES NO.48025469H.

  I have obvious problems with VISTA and WINDOWS 7. The two do not work well, because he seems to have a memory. I wonder if I can increase the memory and replace the drive with an SSD. I want to keep this laptop because it is perfect for all my needs.

  Thank you

  Message was edited: assignment has been translated

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop can handle with GB of RAM, but has been bundled with 2 GB memory is not possible.
  http://www.Toshiba.it/discontinued-p...Tege-R500-11z/

  What about SSD? SSD upgrade is possible and you can use 256GB SSD for upgrade. After this system will be much faster, and you will certainly more performance and speed.

• Qosmio G20: cursor jumps typing the letter

  Hi everyone, my Qosmio G20 gives me headaches! When I try to type a letter or article suddenly the cursor jumps back lines and I find myself typing in the middle of a previous sentence. Then sometimes it just deletes a paragraph I just typed.
  Any suggestions as to why? And more importantly on how to behave?
  I would be happy to advice.

  Thank you.
  Ronnie

  Yes, it's because of the touchpad. To disable and enter in peace, just press Fn + F9. This will temporarily disable the touchpad. When you are finished typing, press Fn + F9 again, it will re-enable the touchpad.
  Later,.

• Portege R500 - network Constant interruptions

  I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP (SP3 now, but same problem with SP2 and same problem before and after all reinstall them), and the network continues to interrupt. It's desperately irritating, because I work a lot of ssh connections, and almost every time the connection breaks I lose some work. The best of cases, it's that I have to log in again and continue where I was.

  This happens regardless of whether I use WIFI or wired network, and sometimes little matter where I am - home, office, coffee internet, that, is not my connection. The network is interrupted every 15-30 minutes, and sometimes as I type or loading a page, while other times it seems just to occur. It is usually easy to tell when it happens, because all the ssh connections instantly hang, all my messenger connections are broken and Outlook complains that he has lost the connection to the Exchange Server. The connections Outlook and messenger do not realize anything is wrong before the connection started actually working again, which has probably something to do with TCP or ICMP messages finally get through, but it's really strange that TCP is not only address the problem transparently - the physical connection is never interrupted for long.

  I guess that it probably has something to do with energy saving, but I have been unable to resolve in setting energy saving settings. Also, I have the same problem, regardless of the question of whether the laptop is powered.

  (Probably?) it is not a hardware failure, because I don't have the same problem in Ubuntu Linux and memtest does not report the errors of memory. (Speaking of which, is there a memory testing tool or self test tool integrated with this laptop?).

  Any suggestion would be appreciated. I tried calling the number of local support twice, but it didn't help much to get there.

  Thanks a lot for this great info

• Satellite P300 - cursor jumps back

  Hello

  I have a Satallite P300 - 19 p and when I type after some works the cursur jumps to a place randomly in the text that I write. Is very annoying because I have to look at the screen all the time, I tried to type very slowly to see if I tap on a button by accident, but then it never happens.

  If anyone knows if it is a fault, all other computers that I use if I hit a wrong key, I just get a bad character not the cursor jump to a point prior to writing

  Hello

  I think you touch the keyboard as you type and so the cursor jumps to another post.

  Therefore, you must disable the tapping function in the touchpad driver. After that, you can only use the touchpad for moving the mouse but not for the left clicking (tapping) more.
  Check Control Panel > mouse > advanced settings.

  Here, you can disable this feature.

  Check this box!

• OS sound produce a high-pitched noise (M70-160) + keyboard cursor jumps

  Hello everyone,

  I own a satellite M70-160 for about a year. There are two problems:
  (a) 15 days ago all the sounds of the o/s (for example when windows start/end, wheel etc) no longer works properly and began to produce a high-pitched noise. It's extremely annoying. I downloaded the realtek soundmax which only temporarily solves the problem. Now every time I have reinstall, when sound is shut down it works fine, but then again when I restart the computer it is working properly.
  In addition this problem disappears and appears periodically and it seems that most of the o/s sound time is malfunctioning.

  (b) when I type fast in keyboard cursor jumps into other lines or bar tasks or made the selection of text etc. as there is a kind of shortcut (this problem is not related to the first as it appeared from the beginning).

  I shouldn't forget to mention that I installed almost every new driver (might have missed one or two but it is highly unlikely)

  Thank you very much

  Giorgos

  Hello

  (a) I have the same unit, but so far I didn't notice something like that. If this happens regularly, it makes the not so easy diagnosis. Try to test with different volume levels and also with headphones.
  (b) key combination while typing to disable using FN + F9 touchpad. Maybe you touch touchpad with your hand while typing so fast.

  The last option you can try is updated BIOS. If you want to do this please READ the document how to do this.

• Portege R500: Cannot restore Vista using Toshiba recovery disks

  I downgraded Vista to XP loaded factory.
  However, I would now like to restore back to Vista.

  I have disc 1 & 2 ' product Recovery DVD-Rom; Portege R500 disks.
  They are also marked "Windows Vista Business (SSD/PATA)" has been provided by Toshiba.

  I don't know how to use these discs to restore my operating system to Windows Vista. When I insert disc 1 and after loading some files, a message "cannot read the file source or disk - Preinst2.SWM" and I can not go any further.

  An instruction step by step would be greatly appreciated

  I wonder why you receive two recovery disks. As far as I know Toshiba Vista Recovery image is stored on a DVD.
  Perhaps you have received two CD

  In any case, have you tried to boot from the second disk? I mean the second recovery CD?

  Usually, recovery is not very sensitive. You must boot from the disc and should follow the instructions on the screen.

  The error cannot read from the source file or disk - Preinst2.SWM looks like a little to the Conference on disarmament would not readable or the CD/DVD drive would not read the disc properly.
