Cursor jumps across the screen.

While trying to navigate around my screen with my mousepad to laptop, the cursor jumps randomly offline.

  • ex: when you try to click on the scroll bar (on a Web page) at the bottom of the page, the cursor jumps to the top of the page.
  • ex: on the desktop, I'll move the cursor over an icon, and the cursor will move to a random point on the screen and continue to move in the direction my finger, said that on a new path.
  • Sometimes, the slider works very well.
  • The problem occurs when you use any program.
  • I don't have the problem "while typing, my mouse moves and clicks on".
  • The movement is just a quick jump from point a to point b. (not rapidly moving around screen clicking everything)
  • If you need more info leave me a message.

  • NB200 - cursor jumps around the screen while typing

    Hello

    When I type in MS Word or OpenOffice or any other text box on a Web site for example flushing prompt that identifies where the next word/character must be placed around the screen jumps.

    So when I type a line of text I then start another line below and then without reason, that the text cursor jumps to the top line. This inserts text in the wrong place, which is incredibly annoying!

    Any help or ideas greatly appreciated!
    Thesis writing will be more months if the problem persists! :)

    Here is the solution I've used and displayed a few threads down...

    Under the properties of the mouse, click on the "Advanced" tab, click on the pointer speed and Tapping settings, in the new screen click setting Tapping, on this screen, check the box that says disable Tapping during the key entry.

  • Cursor jumps around the screen.

    ASUS uses tactile keys, built by the Synaptics for most laptops, so you should have a few options for sensitivity in your mouse control panel.  Look here:

    1. Type 'mouse' in your Start menu to find and open the properties of the mouse.
    2. On the Hardware tab, select your touchpad device from the list.
    3. Click Properties to open the touchpad settings.
    Note that some Asus "netbooks" have keys to touch mutli-touch capable of handling 2 fingers, as "pinch to zoom".  They have no sensitivity adjustment.  In fact, I used an Asus netbook like that and it doesn't even have a switch for the touchpad, and I found it so senstive and boring that I returned it to the store.
    I'm sorry to say, but you might have to do the same, if you are not satisfied with the product.  There is only so much that Microsoft has control over, and that's something that only manufacturers can do anything on.

    Hi all

    I would like to add my 2 cents to the conversation.  I have an ASUS G73S MS Windows 7 Professional. It has a Synaptics touchpad and came with standard Synaptics software and the update of Scrybe to allow all the controls really fancies as pinch and 2 fingers to scroll. I have 8 GB of ram and a processor I7. So, it shouldn't be a question about background programs steal resources.

    I have this same problem cursor jumping, and he does the same typing this simple message of a real pain.  I also did a bit of research on this problem.  Maybe I have traced for some, the problem date back as far as from 2008 to 2003. It occurred in the Mac and it is apparently common in the PC, it seems to be a universal problem.

    Reasons/solutions vary:

    programs background too consume some resources or remove unnecessary programs.

    mice control/run virus program antivirus, touchpad question/switch to a mouse.

    Touchpad grounded questions/metal on the ground, program conflicts/reload last updated,

    Touchpad too sensitive / reduce touchpad senistivity.

    noticed an evening that said something about a file of bad scrll.exe or something like that

    Something on a download called Touchpad Pal has also seen, but I would be a search before you actually download to make sure that it is not malware.

    Most individuals find that disabling the touchpad and using a mouse connected real thread solved the problem.  He has done for me, but I still prefer using the touchpad due to lack of space for the mouse. Usually, I'm sitting in the Chair with the computer on my lap, that's why I wanted a laptop.  I just had my PC wiped and checked for viruses, it was clean. I had the actual number of operating processes, reduced to about 60.  Before you wipe it off, there were about 120. I will continue to try to find a solution, but I think that the best, I'll be able to do is reduce the jumping, not really to eliminate it.

  • Cursor starts moving across the screen from left to right after the wake up the computer from standby or hibernation

    Original title: cursor goes wild

    My PC to 'wake up' sleep/hibernate, the cursor initially moving across the screen from left to right, in which window is open, destroy all the document is on the screen. I force Windows to close. How to solve this other than turning off standby/hibernation?

    Looks like the cursor of the mouse is very sensitive when the computer comes out of standby or hibernation.
    I suggest that you go in the mouse properties and lower the sensitivity and see if that helps.
    You also need to update any driver mouse if possible.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • When scrolling down using the touchpad, the cursor jumps to the back arrow

    Hi, could someone tell me why when I use my touchpad, I move the cursor over the arrow down to scroll down and sometimes the cursor jumps on the back button on the screen and goes back one screen and I lose what I'm getting?

    Thank you.  I understand.  I went to the mouse and then to the touchpad device settings and I was able to change.  They were called corner buttons.  They function as shortcuts to different things on each corner of the touchpad.  I disabled it.

  • NB100 - mouse cursor flies around the screen

    Hello

    So, I bought the NB100 and noticed that something was not right but stupidly put upward with her for over 2 years. Now he is just really annoying as its happens more frequently and, possibly, gets worse!

    Randomly, the mouse cursor flies around the screen, by clicking at the opening programs and files, etc. The only way to stop it is to turn off the laptop holding down the power button. She also does when I plug in a usb mouse (and disable the touchpad) so I assume that it is not the hardware, but I have reinstalled as the driver...

    Usually, if I turn the laptop on its always crazy but if I start it in safe mode its fine. This made me think I had a virus but I did a scan and nothing shows.

    In addition, I don't think that turn it off by holding the power button down is very good for the system that sometimes, when I try to turn it back on, it doesn't load at all (just a black screen with the cursor).

    Help, please! I would be eternally grateful...

    Thanks in advance, Nadia

    need you pretty much time to fix. My advice is to reinstall Windows from disk image or hard drive recovery. Please, understand me, it's easier and quicker to reinstall rather try to fix it.

  • Re: Equium M50-216 - lines across the screen

    There is no picture it s just white.

    If I plug it into an external monitor I get a fine display on the monitor is so the screen is defective or something else?
    I think that the inverter is ok because it of bright and not dull.

    See you soon

    I agree with Luke.

    If the image on the external monitor is ok then the graphics card should be ok.
    If an FL inverter would be defective then everything would be visible, but just a little more dark and as behind a fog

    In your case, it looks like a display problem

  • Satellite L830 - horizontal line across the screen

    All new Satellite L830 has a horizontal line across the screen.

    What can be the cause and how can be fixed?

    If the laptop is brand new it back as soon as possible and ask for replacement.
    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but it may be related to faulty display, especially if you can see from the first moments when the laptop is turned on.

    Don't try anything. Request a new one. If you can not new, contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. They need to exchange the defective part.

  • Satellite P10: clouds white and purple fading across the screen during startup

    I had problems with my laptop PC-10 so I bought a new hard drive (Fujitsu 60 GB instead of 40 GB) standard and have it myself. I was working very well with it for a long time, until suddenly I have had the strangest problem that I've ever seen on a computer...

    Sometimes, when you start the laptop, instead of the screen normal red "TOSHIBA" and the message to start Windows XP, the laptop displays simply little weird white and purple clouds fading across the screen, fading finally on a screen very dark, but not quite black.

    I thought first it was a problem with the DVD player, like when he finally gave and started normally, the DVD drive has been disabled. However, I noticed in the BIOS, under "Advanced" the Infrared Port shows intermittently - it shows with the [Disabled] setting next to him, but will be then disappear from the list, then reappear again and then go again and so on.

    Sometimes my computer will function normally, then completely shut (mouse and all) and will restart with the clouds!

    I looked in the Windows Event Viewer for when the laptop has locked up and have seen anything to do with a problem with IRQS for the Infrared Port. I disabled the infrared port in Device Manager (I managed to activate in the BIOS by loading the standard BIOS settings) and rebooted, but it started upward with the clouds once again, so I have the feeling that the infrared port is the culprit - loose connection may be defective material because it is located close to the DVD player and HD player.

    I was wondering if anyone has seen something like this before on any computer, and if they knew how to solve? It seems completely illogical that a defective IR port could change what is displayed on the screen on startup, unless of course there is something wrong with my HD boot sector?

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Tom

    Hello

    I've never seen like this problem before and I don't think that this issue has something to do with the HARD drive or the IrDA port.
    As much as I know the IrDA port is not available on Satellite P10 - xxx

    For me, this looks like a faulty screen or graphics card.
    Have you tried to connect the external display? If this isn't the case, then try to do and check if it also appears on the external display.

    I recommend also to recover the laptop with Toshiba Recovery CD and then check the functionality.
    But if the malfunction appears so I would recommend contacting the Toshiba ASP for control from laptop

  • When you write a sentence the cursor jumps at the beginning if I type too fast

    If I type too fast or even at a moderate speed my cursor jumps at the beginning or in another part of the sentence.  I type very slowly in order to complete a sentence.

    I'll guess that you are using a laptop with a touchpad? If Yes, go to control panel > mouse and then look for a tab that relates to your touch pad and then see if you can adjust the sensitivity. Chances are that you are hit while you type.

    I hope this helps.
