cursor jumps on a regular basis when I type.

cursor jumps from time to time as I type.

It's on a laptop? It is most often caused by hitting the touchpad while typing inadvertently. Many cell phones have the ability to disable the touchpad while typing. Refer to the manual of your computer or in Control Panel > mouse applet. While there, reduce the sensitivity of the Mouse/touchpad, too. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

    Hello

    Laptop?

    Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there
    probably are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with)
    Entries of TouchPad) and some have a utility that loads in the Notification area near clock on
    at the bottom right. There "may" be the sensitivity settings.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work) try to update
    the driver for the TouchPad.

    Panel of configuration-Device Manager - mice and pointing devices - Double click on touch pad
    -Pilot Tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
    (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in).
    RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
    of work.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we need to clear
    the device if it is present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    =================================

    This utility also allows to control the TouchPad:

  • I am suddenly unable to rename folders. Insert the cursor, but it does not respond when I type characters, or even when I hit him back out. Know a simple fix?

    After cropping of a photo with Photoshop I discovered that I was unable to rename.  I soon found out that the same thing is true when I tried to rename main folders in My Documents.  I am able to insert the cursor, but it does not respond when I type characters, or even when I hit him back out.  Know a simple fix?

    Name change is a directory operation.  It would seem that you have read and write access to your directories, but you do not change access.  This highlights a problem with file permissions.  How is 'Simple' the fix depends on which version of Windows you have to a certain extent.

    Windows XP Pro (with "Simple file sharing" turned off) using the security"" tab. When you right-click on a file or a folder and select 'Properties', then click on the 'Security' tab to view and change the permissions.

    "How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"
      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307874 >

    Windows XP Home Edition is a bit more complicated.  You can start safe mode and log in as administrator for the 'Security' tab as above, or you can open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and allows you to display the 'cacls' command or change the permissions of files and folders.  You should check that your username has permission to ull 'F' for your records.  Not pretty, but it works.

  • The cursor moves to the wrong place when you type

    The END of a sentence? It keeps jumping around, making it very difficult to type.

    Hi Heather,

    Try the following.

    First, download the latest installer driver Synaptics, on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp49001-49500/sp49394.exe

    Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click on the entry "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and choose uninstall.

    Once this done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then remove the battery.  Press and hold the Power button for 30 seconds.  Reinsert the battery, connect the power adapter and start Notepad.

    When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder, click with the right button on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  When this has completed, restart the computer again.

    Kind regards

  • When you type in a text field on a Web site, why the cursor jumps behind the already typed text?

    This problem only occurs when text is entered into a form on site (not in the address bar). The cursor jumps randomly a letter to the left, thus making it rather impossible entry.

    Device: HTC Vision Android 2.2 (= HTC Desire Z in North America)

    This is a bug that will be fixed in the RC version. If you're OK with putting on the installation from "unknown sources" in the application settings. The nightly build will have this work http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-android-r7/fennec-4.0b6pre.multi.eabi-arm.apk else use the software keyboard to this release.

  • Starting this weekend when I opened a new tab, I can only type a few letters before my cursor jumps far and I have to set on the address bar to continue typing - what can I do to fix this?

    This weekend I started having problems tab that had never happened before. When I open a new tab, I don't have time to type one or two letters before the cursor jumps away. I did a scan of symantec without success. Someone at - it suggestions on how to solve this problem of jumping? Thank you

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    Is this weekend

    Me once again. It is the complement of CoolPreviews, not Firefox.

    Since the return of FF 3.6.4 or 3.6.3 does not resolve the issue, I searched further and found the culprit.

    After you disable CoolPreviews 3.1.0623, the question came to me.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
