Cursor will move randomly to a new location

When typing the cursor will jump at random to a new location, very irrritatingerratic

If it's a laptop, check the manual for a function key to disable the touchpad while typing. For example, on the laptop that I use at the moment it is Fn + F9. Stop the dead cursor jumping.

  • Can not scroll__When typing the cursor will move to an another ling

    I have problems the scrollable - cannot scrolling on web pages and documents.  I can use the scroll bar, but not the scrolling of the mouse (laptop).

    Also, when I type my cursor moves to another line or on the same line - I do not know why?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    Scrolling: scrolling of the laptop requires supporting the drivers provided by the manufacturer. This is probably not installed. Find them in the web site of the manufacturer.

    For jumping: Control Panel/mouse/pointer Options tab, check the line to hide the cursor when typing. This is a common problem when the sensitive touchpad of your laptop errors brushes by the user thumb pads.

  • Impossible to load Windows Vista, screen stuck at the loading screen (green cursor will move to the right)

    Last night I tried to Hibernate my laptop (Windows Vista 64-bit), but it took forever so I held the power button to stop it. When I started it today, however, it would not load windows. I tried loading in safe mode, but it stops at crcdisk.sys. I tried using the automatic repair tool to find issues. The first time, it took about 2 hours to fix, but once it asks me to click 'Finish' to restart, it restarts and arrives at the black screen with the Green loading thing goes from left to right. It remains to this screen for minutes, hours. I also tried to boot from the last known good configuration, and this does not work either. I tried to restore to a previous point, but there was no previous system restore point. Windows was working fine the night before.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    The symptoms you describe point to a faulty hard drive. Hard drives can appear to fail suddenly like this so the fact that he was 'before' is irrelevant. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate. You create a bootable CD with the files you download. You will need a third party burning software to do as the free ImgBurn, Nero or Roxio. Burn as an image, not in the form of data.

  • The cursor moves randomly when you type the new e-mail message

    When I type an e-mail message in Windows Live Mail, the cursor will suddenly be at the beginning of my message, or maybe in the middle of a Word.  I don't know if I'm a touch that I'm not aware of, or if I have a fault with my keyboard.

    Hello lobelia 3206,.

    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

    Since you're on a laptop, I suppose that you have a right of trackpad under the keyboard. It may be that you hit the trackpad with your wrist or Palm when you type.

    Try to change the sensitivity of the mouse and see if that helps or if you have a setting to disable the trackpad when you type. I have

    Click Start, control panel and select slider and change your settings in there...

    I don't know where the settings would be for the Compaq Presario but you can always check with the manufacturer to get the correct settings for your laptop.

    Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

    Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

    This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

    This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded: run DriverView - set
    SEE drivers to hide Microsoft - update those with Dump in their names. (Also
    updated the BIOS and drivers from the chipset on the site of the constructor/the system motherboard).

    -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
    on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
    Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
    company that created the driver and more.
    http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

    For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
    the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
    the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
    Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
    MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
    This will refresh the driver stack.

    Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
    If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
    you have.

    Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
    and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
    their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
    Site of the manufacturer here.)

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
    REBOOT after each installation.

    Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
    installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
    later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
    Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

    Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
    SCANNER - check manually by model.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
    http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

    Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
    the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
    and device manufacturers are located)
    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

    If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
    in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
    pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
    driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
    you want.

  • How can I MOVE buttons on taskbar to a new location without having to close all programs and resume in the order I want?

    I like to keep the buttons in my taskbar has organized with the browser and messaging on the left, followed by Windows Explorer and other items. If they get out of order or programs are loaded into a different order, how can I MOVE the buttons to a new location without having to close all programs and resume in the order I want? In addition, sometimes, one of program buttons seems in itself to migrate out of place and I need to get back to where it should be: same problem.

    Hi shohareZohre

    Thank you for using the Microsoft Answers Forums!

    The task bar is the horizontal bar at the bottom of your screen time. In contrast to the office, which can get obscured by the windows on top of it, the taskbar are visible nearly all the time. It includes four main sections:

    ·         The Start button, which opens the start menu.

    ·         The Quick Launch bar, which allows you to start programs with a single click.

    ·         The middle section, which shows you what programs and documents you have open and allows you to quickly switch between them.

    ·         The notification area, which includes a clock and icons (small pictures) that communicate the status of certain programs and computer settings.

    Add or remove programs on the Quick Launch toolbar

    The Quick Launch toolbar is located on the task bar and is a convenient way to open programs. You can add or remove program icons in the Quick Launch toolbar so that you have easy access to the programs that you use frequently.

    To add a program icon to the Quick Launch toolbar

    Click the icon for the program to add (you can find most icons of programs on the start menu or the desktop) and then drag it to the Quick Launch toolbar.

    Note: If you don't see the toolbar tools quick launch, right-click on an empty area of the taskbar, click Toolbars, and then click quick launch.

     

    To remove a program to the Quick Launch toolbar icon

    Right-click on the icon of the program and then click Remove.

    Notes: ·         Delete an icon from the taskbar does not remove its corresponding computer program.

    ·         If you want to stop showing a toolbar on the taskbar, right-click an empty area of the taskbar, point to toolbars, and then click the item that you want to stop broadcasting.

    NOTE: The ability to move the programs in the taskbar is not possible in windows Vista but the same functionality is available in Windows 7. Please see the link below.

  • How can I move the public folders default location to a new drive?

    I'll put up a brand new machine with Windows 7 pre-installed and a big 500 GB hard drive.  I partitioned the drive into 2 logical drives C: and E:

    Wherever possible I want to store all user data on E: (I know is not possible for all the parameters of the user to move - mores the pity).  I have not yet copied across all the data from my old machine so I just empty folders to play with at the moment.  I moved all the My Documents/pictures/etc files for the e: drive by changing the location in the properties of the folder.

    However, I can't do the same with public folders.  If I right click on the folder, click Properties, then location, it's like I can't change C:\Users\Public\... but it does not change

    No idea why, or how I can get around this?

    This is possible thanks to a Directory junction that can redirect to a new location of the Public folder.

    First create a new folder on E:\ and maybe you want to call it Public.

    Go to Cmd prompt as administrator.

    All copy existing public folders to the new folder created using the command
    Robocopy /MIR %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public     (or any name that you used for public folders on E :)

    You need robocopy as he takes care of hidden files, etc., especially if you have the recorded TV folder in public folders.

    Once the copy is transferred, you must delete the existing public folder and create a junction in his place. To do this, boot into Safe Mode as an administrator and remove the public content and file inviting again by running Cmd as administrator. To remove the Public folder:

    RmDir /s /q %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Users\Public

    After creating the new folder location and remove the existing public folder, now is time to create a Directory junction of audiences with the following folders:

    Mklink /J %Systemdrive%\Users\Public E:\Public                         (or any name you named the folder opublic on E:\)

    for example: mklink /dC:\Users\Public E:\Public   

    Now, all that is intended for the original Public folder gets directed to the new location.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can I move files and leave a shortcut.lnk pointing to the new location.

    I'm trying to move only a TON of old files to a hard drive to free up space to backup.  I can't empty just them, it's a working environment with integrated (and archaic) process.  They must be able to find the new files without go hunting for them.  How can I move all the files that has not been changed since 2 years and leaves a link behind that points to the new location?

    I used successfully a utility call NoClone.  The goal is to search for duplicate files, but it has a way to specify any search string (date function as you requested) and then move all files to a new location, leaving behind .lnk files

    I used it to clear space on file shares, any movement toward a archive read-only stored on a NAS that gets backed up once per year.  In this way, nothing changes on the NAS of the end user (no need to save often).  If you need to edit the file, they copy him on its original location.

    If you have a lot of files, download the business version.

    In recent years I finally used, so I don't know if there is a newer version that might not work as did the old version.
