cursor or erratic behavior

while typing of e-mail or other documents, the cursor jumps to another location causing my typing be moved to another location. This change occurs without known reason and where it moves at random is

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!

  • The cursor moves erratically even when no mouse connected

    I've had the problem for over a year now, but I never received tour to report. From time to time, my cursor moves erratic around the screen, jumping from position every few seconds. I have a MBP, but often use it plugged on a screen and mouse etc with the lid closed. The problem persists if Setup like that, even when the external mouse is disconnected, or when simply use it as a laptop. I recently wiped the hard drive and reinstalled a clean copy of Mac OS x from zero (no backup), but the problem still persists.

    Any ideas?

    Looks like a hardware problem. How old is this MBP? Sometimes, when they get older, the battery may start to inflate and put pressure on the trackpad.

  • Erratic behavior of the mouse on the Qosmio DX730

    I recently purchased a Qosmio DX730 and the wireless mouse behaves erratically. He jumps on the screen and is just about manageable for basic use, but practically useless for any detail as the manipulation of graphics work. This is no program related to special, it happens with all the software and windows desktop. Things I've tried but it does not solve the problem;
    1. the batteries and resynchronization would have changed
    2A spoke with toshiba helpline, uninstalled all the drivers and reinstalled
    3. search for updated drivers (no)
    4. tool Keyboard wireless, mouse and transceiver to the store and exchanged - go always the problem
    The wireless keyboard works fine

    I was wondering if I was getting some wireless interference but have disabled all devices electrical and electronic local = no difference. I am reluctant to give up everything and go to a plug in mouse because it's brand new. Any help appreciated.

    Hi mate

    I read on this issue of cursor on the different laptop models (from different manufacturers).
    But in most cases, the users didn't note that the touchpad was accidentally while typing of touchpad.
    You said you checked this hmm but in any case, try to disable the touchpad while typing just for test purposes

    In addition, some have said that the BIOS update can also be useful
    So if the most recent BIOS is available, updated it!

    I noticed a few days after the restart after an update of Windows (a few weeks of updates at the same time evidence) on my old laptop Dell M60 when I hit the mute button would begin just flashing power continuously, but there is ore that turned off.  I restarted and it has always given this behavior, so I turned off the laptop and decided to watch it later.  Today, I had a friend send me an email on their desktop PC indicating that they have the same problem.

    Does anyone else know this? Identified/fixed?

    Hello

    Download the latest sound/audio driver and if not more recent re - install the same. Please use the instruction manual
    as we explain.

    Control Panel - device - SOUNDS - look for HD Audio Manager - Mine said RealTek High Definition Audio

    Make sure you write down the description and model double click top - tab drivers - write version. Now
    Click on update drivers who cannot do anything like MS is far behind the certification of drivers. Then RIGHT
    CLICK above and UNINSTALL - REBOOT - this will rebuild the driver stack.

    1. go to the system manufacturer's website and search for the driver the newest download - SAVE - will click with the button straight on and RUN AS ADMIN
    (This is your rescue.) REBOOT after each installation of driver.

    NOTE: Driver Sound often rollback so check the version after installation and reboot to see if the version you
    installed is there, if not repeat - restart until it is. It may take several tries depending on the recommitments how he
    the fact.

    Then do the same for the site of the manufacturer of the device.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Cursor moving erratically on Sony viao running Windows 7 laptop

    Hello

    Really frustrating that when you type cursor and part words move randomly. See we talked a lot about this common problem, including the button next to the cover with a piece of cardboard! also downloaded 'touchpad' disaster and had to remove it.

    Any help to fix this would be greatly appreciated?

    Thank you

    Kris

    Hello Kris,

    The easiest way is to disable the touchpad entirely. If your laptop is not a touchpad applet in Control Panel, go to the mouse properties in Control Panel. Opens and there will be a tab for the touchpad. There should also be a checkbox to 'Disable touchpad when an external mouse is connected', in this way, you keep the touchpad when you have an external mouse and lose it when you.

    Alternatively, or in some cases particularly stubborn, you can also go to the Device Manager (in Control Panel) and disable the touchpad there. It will be located under the mouse or HID (Human Interface Device); Make sure you turn it off and do not try to uninstall it, because it will resettle the next time that you start your computer.

    If you do not want to disable or use an external mouse, you can try to set the sensitivity of the touchpad corners where your thumbs are probably hit (assuming that you have this feature on your laptop), but it of a little problematic and does not work as well as get rid of the touchpad altogether.

    I hope this helps, let me know how make you out.

    Kind regards

    Has anyone else experience some behaviors of random when you draw a puppet more complicated? I'm working now on one, it was looking and works very well, and then I moved an arm in illustrator. Returned to CA, and the Chief had jumped off in space.

    Character animator also appears, uncheck the box "Stand-alone Warp" whenever you update the puppet in illustrator, is there a way to keep? (Or I think better to use the '+' in the original?).

    Here's the head issue I mentioned:

    screen_CA_02.jpg

    Thanks for the file. I was able to repro in Preview 1, but it moves is no longer the head in Preview 2. (You don't even need move a layer - just switch the visibility of a layer on or off always caused the problem before). Of course, it will always reset Warp independently and tie it to setting, so you'll always want to change the name of the head layer to:
