• Satellite R850 - cursor moves at random while typing

  I use this R850 because it was provided by the work.
  I found it almost as frustrating as the HP, I got to my previous job... and it's for the same reasons!

  -The cursor moves randomly, then when typing I find I type completely in the wrong place.
  -It removes random pieces of my work - particularly frustrating on a web page where there is no "undo" button
  -When you use functions like drag in the editor, or highlight text, the touchpad is not always cooperative.
  -Some random/spaces etc. letters do not occur despite proper pressure.

  Quite frankly, it takes too much time to do things and I want to throw out of a dam in a deep lake.

  No liquid has been spilled on it.
  Are no crumbs in the keyboard.
  This seems to be a defective product as the "HP Elitebook" I got last year!

  This happened to me because I accidentally touched the touchpad while typing.
  In my case I could solve this annoying problem issue but the option settings: disable the touchpad while typing.

  This setting should be available in Control Panel-> mouse-> avancΘs

  The other option is to disable the touch pad using the function key

• My cursor moves to the left while typing 'e '.

  I tried all the options like safe mode checking, it remains the same... I can normally type in the google search box or in the FB chat window, but this is a problem when I try to type 'e' in any text editor and the cursor moves upstairs to the left. Help me

  It is almost always the result of a faulty keyboard.

  If yours is a desktop configuration, it's simple and cheap.  New keyboards are cheap and widely available.  Tip, the more expensive keyboards are no better than the cheaper.  The only difference is the "feel" you prefer.

  If yours is a laptop configuration (AKA / laptop), it's a much bigger problem.  This must be done by a technician competent trust and they must use the right part.  There are many replacements of keyboard that are almost the same.  This is likely to cost at least $100.  In addition, and is not so nice to use an external keyboard.

• Cursor moves

  Everytime I type something my cursor moves or went the way of scrolling page to the top, or move my cursor or in another word, and start typing there where it should. Just as he did in the last sentence where I have the word OR in bold. Ery This is what happened when I typed the word 'very', the cursor takes the form of places in the text, so do me constantly check for errors. This has occurred recently and I use a Dell Inspiron laptop. It's frustrating and thought microsoft could help.

  Thank you

  Check the documentation of your laptop, or the Dell Support web site, to see how to disable the touchpad on the laptop.  That likley solve the problem for you.

• The cursor moves in the opposite direction

  Original title: "slider issue"

  about 40% of the time after the start of my laptop, the cursor moves in the opposite direction. If I restart, it usually solves the problem, but sometimes I have to restart 2-3 times... I only use the touchpad and doesn't it have never get tired with a mouse... ideas?

  Cheers, fileeep!

  Tell me everything said on adapter #3 and adapter #6 - What are they, what error messages they say exactly?  These devices work, or if you have problems with them (one of them is the mouse)?  Error 31 means he cannot load device drivers which means that there is something wrong with the drivers or the device is not compatible with this version of Vista or another component on your system (very hard to tell from a distance).  You should always download and install the new drivers, firmware and for two devices having problems (not just drivers - it may be more necessary) just to be sure, that you are not corrupt.  We need to solve the problems with these devices, because I suspect that it is at the origin of this problem.

  If this does not work, we will need to make a complete diagnosis of the entire system.

  Good luck!

  P.S. Please do the test with the mouse - that will tell us a lot.

• Scroll of blackBerry Smartphones are becoming very difficult to "BOLD" (with a pad, not a scroll wheel)

  Hello

  Scrolling became very difficult in my "BOLD", but it has a pad, not a scroll wheel, so I can't follow the spoken wheel and push solution previously in these forums.

  The symptoms are that it is difficult to get the cursor to move to the left or to the right or upwards or downwards, sometimes that it moves more easily than other times, but never as easy as it was until last week. What often happens is that I end up pressingteh pad too hard trying getting the top of the page to save the movement and thus itreads as a click instead.

  I tried to clean the buffer, cleaning of my thumb or finger, battery-out-restarted "BOLD" of countless times, tried with my fingers wet and dry...

  It seems that she has changed after an update has been downloaded, but maybe it's just my perception.

  In any case, what could be the problem and what is the solution please?

  Hello qw8,

  Welcome to the forums.

  Take a look at the knowledge base article below which may help you with your trackpad problem.

• In Windows 7, why cursor moves when you type, causing need to return the position of the cursor?

  After inserting the cursor to start typing, the cursor moves frequently on his own.  This translates into the need to reposition the cursor and enter again before continuing to type.  I can't believe such a lack of basis occurs in the new product, but I can't work out how to remedy.

  I also noticed that other measures be taken before I even clicked or pressed enter, taking me where I want to be far away.  I own a computer using XP Professional and have never experienced this problem.  Only since I use my friends laptop installed with Windows 7 I just through that.

  I'm not sure I want to upgrade to Windows 7 if it is so cumbersome to work with.

  Everyone has noticed this and how is it fixed?

  Thanks much, Jeanette

  Hello Jessen P

  Have you looked at drivers as you suggest.  As a result, it became obvious that my friend had not installed the mouse trackball with the software provided with the mouse.  It has been installed.  Cursor action now seems stable.  Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro A300 - the cursor moves continuously when connected an external mouse

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro A300. When I connect a mouse directly by USB the cursor moves constantly. I also have a mouse attached via a docking station, Toshiba and that works perfectly.

  It doesn't matter what USB port I use or if the laptop is connected to the docking station or not, or if it works on AC or on battery power.

  I thought it was the mouse that was the problem, so I went and bought a new one but the problem persists.

  Actually, while I wrote this post, he has stopped doing that and then started! Very frustrating.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  Hello

  How about, the touchpad is the slider moves and jumps using the touchpad?
  Try to disable the touchpad while using the USB mouse control if you can notice a difference

  What about BIOS?
  You have the latest version installed?

• Satellite Pro 6100: cursor moves out of control on the screen

  Hey guys,.

  I'm seriously going crazy right about now... my problem is the following:

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 6100, Windows XP Professional with SP2, memory: 512 MB.

  About two weeks ago my cursor began to move up and down whenever I pressed the space bar. It has gotten worse since. My cursor moves out of control across the screen (there are usually in the upper right or lower left) and I can not recover. I know for a fact that it has nothing to do with my external mouse (optical), because this problem also occurs when I use my pointing device. Even in safe mode.

  The thing I've tried:
  Ran Spybot: Search and Destroy
  Ran Adaware
  Xoftspy RAN
  A ran Symantic Antivirus 10 (complete analysis of the system in safe mode)
  New keyboard
  New motherboard

  Nothing helps. I'm this close to format my pc. Does anyone have a suggestion of what to do?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  I put t he understand. You have changed the keyboard and the motherboard, but you did not recover the OS with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  The first procedure that you should do is the new installation of the OS before you change or replace anything on the laptop.

  Unfortunately, it is not easy to say why it occurs. A friend of mine has a similar problem with the cursor. The cursor has jumped on the screen and it was not possible to open applications. It has (or service) resolved with the replacement of keyboard.

  If the new installation OS doesn't fix this strange cursor, so I recommend you contact Toshiba.
