  Hi Ony Parsons,

  1. What is the brand and model of your system?

  We met this problem and most of the time that this can happen on laptop and when you increase the sensitivity of the touchpad.

  You can try to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad and see if it helps.

  Some options may vary depending on the touchpad software you are using.

  a. click on "Start" and click on "Control Panel."

  b. double-click "mouse". The "Mouse properties" window opens.

  c. go to the tab "device settings". Click on "settings".

  d. examine the left panel of the 'Properties' window and expand the "sensitivity". Click on "Sensitivity to touch."

  e. reduce tactile sensitivity in moving the slider to the right, to the label of "heavy touch. Experiment with different levels of sensitivity until find you one suited to your needs.

  f. click "OK" to close the "Properties" window Repeat the operation with the control panel "mouse". Your new touchpad sensitivity settings are now saved.

• Cursor jumps around erratically on dv-7-1245dx

  When I use the keyboard on my dv-7-1245dx I can't type a sentence without moving the cursor towards where I was typing the cursor jumps around This happens in documents, e-mail and other activities. It was a problem when I bought my computer with Vista. Now, it's a major problem with Windows 7.

  Hello

  Jumping cursor problem is one of the common problem especially seen in Windows Vista and Win 7 usually when you type in word or outlook. My previous experiences that I noticed that there is no solution for this problem right. You may need to try different steps, but can not say that we're going to fix it.

  First of all, you can try these two steps that have worked for me in the past. If it does not solve the problem, there are other measures that we can try.

  1. Go to Control Panel ---> mouse---> Options of the pointer , and then uncheck "Hide the pointer during the strike". If this does not work then try turning off the score button if you have a

  2. If step above does not work then you may have to download and run this small program called Touchfreeze

  Some solutions may include measures directly related to changes in the registry that can cause serious problems if not used correctly. Use the following steps at your own risk

• I have problems with the cursor jumping around when I type, especially on facebook.

  When I type, the cursor jumps around. Most of the time he'll be back in the part I typed before. And for some reason, he does it almost everytime I type in the word you. I have run virus scans and she always does. Any suggestions?

  By chance, your computer is a laptop or netbook?
  I found that when typing, my wrist is sometimes contact with the touchpad causing the cursor to jump on.  Something specific on how you type 'you' might make your wrist touch the touchpad.  If this is your case, there is a program called 'touchfreeze' which disables the touchpad while you type.

• Vista, why my cursor jumps around on the screen without reason?

  Vista, why my cursor jumps around on the screen without reason?

  You are using a laptop with a touchscreen?  Chances are good that you accidentally touch the touchpad while typing, and that moves the cursor.  Go to start / Control Panel / mouse and see if there are controls for adjusting the sensitivity of the touchpad or to disable the touchpad while typing.  Go to the web site of the manufacturer of your and download the latest device drivers, firmware, and software for touchpad you and your mouse (if you also have a mouse - you may have to go the manufacturer of the mouse for these drivers, if she did not come with the system).  New updates can offer options that did not exist before like the ones I mentioned.

  This happened to me also and I bought a separate mouse and disabled the touchpad and the problem disappeared - but he had me past for awhile until I finally figured it out by typing differently (with my hands up higher so the Palms do not touch and had no problem).  Even if this isn't the problem, update the drivers, firmware or software can solve the problem on its own.

  If none of the works above, we will need either to run a complete troubleshooting procedures (post back and I'll meet with them) or the touchpad or mouse is defective and must be replaced.  You can discuss these last with the computer manufacturer when you talk to them (if you talk to them).

  I hope this helps.  If you have any questions along the way, come back and I'll do my best to answer.

  Good luck!

• When you type, the cursor jumps around. How can I correct this situation?

  When you type, the cursor jumps around.  How can I correct this situation?

  It is a very common problem when users become familiar with a new laptop. Either your palm/wrist/cuff/bracelet is touching the touchpad as you type or the touch pad sensitivity is set too high and reacts to strong strikes.
  • Someone to watch you while you type to see if you accidentally touch touchpad of the notebook.
  • Go to the control panel mouse configuration and reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad.
  • Make sure you use the latest version of the driver from the manufacturer of the laptop for the touchpad and update if a new becomes available.
  • Disable the touchpad entirely in favor of a wireless laptop mouse.
  As noted previously, this is a very common problem and users are usually completely unaware they do even when it is pointed out to them.

• my cursor jumps around when I type

  original title: problems with my cursor

  When I type my cursor jumps around the place... How to fix this? I ran Norton, underthings will try to solve this problem, but is still bouncing around! I searched for days for a solution!  Help! Thank you very kindly

  This happened to me once.

  You have a laptop?  Your laptop has a touchpad?
  I have found that on some portable computers when I type, my wrist / hand comes in contact with the touch pad and move the cursor around everywhere.  Some laptops have a switch for the touch pad just for this reason.
