It's a laptop? If so, you are probably accidentally brushing your
the hand against the touchpad while typing.

  • Cursor skips on its own when typing text

    I have a Dell Inspiron 1720 Portable (five years) and you are using Windows Vista. While typing of text, particularly in Windows Mail (my email software), the cursor jumps all the time at different locations on the page. It became boring. My computer store says it's because I accidentally hit the touch pad, but this isn't the case. Would appreciate any advice. Thank you.

    Hello

    Does this happen with the application, or is it limited only to Windows Live mail?

    Method 1: I suggest to download and install the driver for the touchpad from the link below and check if it solves the problem:

    Method 2: You can also put the computer to boot and check if the problem persists:

  • Cursor moves on its own

    Periodically, my cursor moves on its own and has been a problem for a few weeks now.

    Initially, he started with the built-in cursor not only movement erratic but also stuck in place on the right side to her screen/only up and down. To try to solve this problem, I started using a USB mouse to see that the problem persisted except that I've been able to move the cursor on the screen even though it move independently (by clicking on the icons and other, however, continued to be difficult).

    It feels like this question started out not the case.

    Here's what I tried to solve the problem (takes the chips of another user and added on):

    Change of mouse did not help (the problem persisted with USB mouse and wireless with new batteries in wireless)

    * The mouse software update did not help

    * Move the mouse or its sender to another USB port wireless did not help

    * Restore the computer to a restore point of verified (2 weeks ago) before the problems started never did not help

    * Reset did not help

    * Turn off an extended display and performing a single monitor (or the other) did not help

    Pointing device settings change of rather fast for its slow response seems to have it actually move slightly slower, but it has not solved the problem and the rest largely unusable a lot of the time.

    * To control the cursor in safe mode (works fine)

    * Done a virus scan (computer is clean)

    * Made a clean boot

    * Ran troubleshoot on built-in cursor and mouse USB (or came with all the problems)

    * Check properties on devices and the results say that the two are "works properly."

    * Uninstalled and reinstalled the program for the device

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Which antivirus program is installed on the computer?

    You can open the Task Manager and monitor all programs running in the background when the mouse movement.

    Are you aware of changes to the computer in these two weeks mentioned?

    I suggest you to update display drivers by visiting the computer manufacturer's website and check the results. Also install all updates through Windows Update.

  • Screen is scrolling down repeatedly and the cursor moves on its own.

    The cursor is rolling along of type I.m

    You do not give much information about what is really happening, but the first two points to check are the mouse and the keyboard, before looking for other hardware or software problems.

    If you have another mouse and keyboard available, you can try reverse the two and restart the computer to see if the problem persists.  If not a little more information would be needed before I could give advice on the best way to solve the problem.

    You're talking about the screen, scroll down and the cursor moving without the mouse - these are two separate actions.

    He is not anywhere on the screen do scroll down unless you have a running program - this scrolling happens with all programs that could scroll, or simply with a certain program?

    The cursor moves randomly or according to a specific orientation?  The cursor move around all the time or only in certain programs?

    These problems occur all the time, or only when you do something, like click with the mouse or use the scroll wheel?

  • Since iOS 9.3.1 my phone plays music on its own when the headphones are connected

    Since the last update, my battery does not last a whole day more and for some strange reason when my headphones are plugged into the music start playing without me from music. Music plays on its own at random times. Several times when I have my phone on the desk, I heard the beginning of music playing also on its own that helps the battery drain but other that the battery for some reason life any has been terrible. I hope Apple fixes this soon and also the restoration of the ability to use 3G to help save battery life. I have actually charged my battery to 100% and without touching all day insured no apps running in the background and I noticed my battery was 70% when ended the half-day.

    Try settings-> general-> transfer & Apps suggested and disable "Apps install".

  • Why the cursor jump to other places when you type?

    When you type, the cursor jumps to other lines or words, sometimes jumps 2 or 3 lines.  In addition, when you use arrow down, he jumps at the end of the page, instead of 2 or 3 lines of scrolling.

    Operating system is Vista, SP2, Dell Vostro A860.  Problem occurs especially during the seizure of the e-mail program.  I don't remember not all changes made on the PC, however, suddenly it was happening more often, so could increase after having chosen the system restore to return to a different restore point.  After the announcement of this issue, I've seen in many cases of this problem in the Microsoft Forums and after those suggestions concerning the sensitivity of the touchpad, I changed the sessions for Tablet and I think my problem is resolved.

  • Why my cursor jump around the page when I type

    When I type on Word or an e-mail my cursor jumps around the Aalst page all the time. This could be the cause?

    Hi Phil,

    1. what kind of mouse do you use? Wired or wireless?
    2. is it a laptop or desktop?
    3 when was the last time it was working fine?

    I suggest that you check if the mouse settings are correct.

    You can read the following article and check.

    Change the settings of the mouse

    Method 2:

    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.

    Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

  • Sometimes my mouse cursor moves on its own. Am I being hacked?

    hacked off the coast

    When you work on the computer I think sometimes there's someone else who is controlling the mouse cursor. The cursor suddenly, usually to the lower left corner past. I now sign off the computer as soon as I see what is happening. Microsoft were down line twice to investigate this "ghost", but the question remains. Changed the access code to the whole, computer, etc email accounts, but still plays "ghost". Don't like what is happening because it seems that someone else is to read and to try to control what I do or see.

    Hello

    I would suggest trying a different mouse to see if the problem persists.

    In addition, some optical (non-balles wheel) mice do not like certain surfaces, including the mouse pad with pictures (especially the holograms). So try different surfaces/mouse mat too.

  • How to stop my cursor moving out of place as I type?

    When typing my cursor moves on the spot his annoying and forces me to use a wireless keyboard

    You are on a laptop with a touchscreen?  This kind of thing happens usually when you have a hypersensitive touchpad.  You can go into the options of the manufacturer to lower sensitivity (if the manufacturer provides options), or cover it with a business card, so it does not detect your arm nearby.

  • Modification on its own size of Type CSS! Help!

    I managed to get my working capital working with CSS menus... Then when I try to apply the same Style sheet to other pages I've built before, the size of the type goes to almost 12 and 14px 10px. Even if I create a new document and start over again it seems fine, but when I set it not to a previous page.
    Any ideas? I'm going nuts and if I can't work around this young man I could jump off the bridge (a little while).
    All of your support and advice is much appreciated.

    See you soon.

    Z.

    But even without a style sheet, there are most likely still styles (such as
    font, size, etc.). applied to your text, and other things. unless you left all the

  • Is it possible to have a slide advances on its own when there are buttons on the screen?

    I wonder if there is a way to have a slide advance automatically when there are buttons on the slide, I want the eLearning course I've created for just the AutoPlay through all the slides.

    Thanks in advance!

    What do the buttons do? Just delete their point of pause and when they reach the end of the slide, and the exit action is set to continue, or go to the next slide, everything will play.
