• Why my cursor jumps around to various places in the text I type on my PC?

  This happens when I tap on a Web site, text, forms, forums, and
  also by e-mail. It is random. No particular trend.

  Someone at a party said it was a Microsoft program and turn off, but I
  don't remember that one, and when I tried to stop programs
  on the task Mgr, it did not help.

  It is a relatively new HP PC (13 months) and up until about a month, no problem
  with Windows except for the usual questions '7 '.

  Whenever this happens (4 times in this area), I have to click to start typing the text in the appropriate again place.

  Very annoying and time consuming.

  Try to update the drivers for your touchpad, I saw that solve this problem before.

  You must contact your manufacturer for the latest drivers.

  Hello

  Its down to the sensitivity of the touchpad on the laptop. You could try to turn that down.

  It is a well known problem with many laptops... that people tend to expire is to install a program that disables the touchpad when typing. You can find one called touchfreeze here (under Tools)

• How can I fix my printer when it prints on different places on the page?

  Thanks in advance,

  Installation program:

  HP Photosmart C4280

  Windows XP Service Pac 2

  Office 2007

  Adobe CS2 Bundle

  Details:

  I pre-printed forms on semi-glace 4 x 6 paper.

  I have attemtped to print in the empty fields.

  When I press print, the printer does not consistenty start in the same place.

  so to adjust the document / image is not applicable, because is not printing to the same place.

  I tried printing from Illustrator, photoshop, acrobat, word, & windows fax and picture viewer

  and got the same results.

  Printing on letter size paper works very well (and I love the printer by the way).

  Is there a hardware problem, or is this driver/software problems?

  How can I fix it?

  Thanks again for any help.

  I think that it is a hardware problem.  The rollers are probably problems picking up the thick supports relatively smooth.  You might have better results to clean the rolls of paper with a wet paper towel collection.  Also make sure that the paper is loaded and the paper guides have been correctly positioned.

  Kind regards

• cursor jumps around on the page, particularly when you type in gmail

  Hi wonder if anyone can help. When I type in gmail the cursor randomly jumps to different parts of the page without me touching the touchpad or buttons. My palms are based next to the touch pad but it sees enough to cause problems. I noticed that if I raise my palms to their resting place, the problem goes away, but it is a very uncomfortable way to type. Does anyone else have this problem, or more importantly, someone at - he found a solution? Sounds like a faulty design for me.

  Thanks Mark

• 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?

  I can't type a paper letter or in school without the cursor jumps around. It just happened again! ... He jumps around and I have to watch very closely... he already did 3 x now, just try to type these 3 phrases! What is wrong w / my laptop? and how can I solve this problem!

  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.

• 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.

  Hi Phil,

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

  Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

  Follow step 1 in the link below,
  How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

• HP Stream Notebook 11th session of the Committee: cursor jumping around

  Where and when I start typing, the cursor will jump to another line, page, word, etc. Even when I hold my hands above the keyboard way and hit a key at a time. What continues?

  Under the control panel = > mouse there is a parameter to hide the pointer while typing , you could try to change.  If this does not work you can reinstall all the drivers of Intel chipset and touchpad on the hp.com site.
