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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

    1. what kind of mouse do you use? Wired or wireless?

  • 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.

    Indeed, there is a problem with the models of DW and IE, the entire page is redesigned which causes some flickering (Firefox should not have this problem with your pages). There is a kind of solution for this. It is not a beautiful, but it can work for you.

    You can add a few metatags just below the other in the head meta tag:



    It results in a smooth transition and will reduce the flickering. I searched a few months there are better solutions but couldn't find them, so I always use these

    You have a laptop?  Your laptop has a touchpad?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Method 1.
    If you use a laptop try disable the touchpad and check.

    Step A.
    Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.

  • I can barely type a sentence in email or office without the cursor jumps around. It gets worse every day! ... What happens and how can I fix it or stop?

    Just a guess, you could have a setting on a place where some keys move the mouse. That would be used in the case that you do not have a mouse.

    Other that I can't help you much. If you are using a desktop computer, try to unplug the mouse and see what happens. If you're on a laptop, it could be that the trackpad is having problems.
