Equium A200 1 HR - cursor jumps in text unexpectedly every few minutes

Immediately after the delivery of my Equium last summer, I noticed that the cursor jumped unexpectedly back sometimes. Does not seem to matter if it's a Word text or email. Contacted Toshiba support Northern and got after the answer:

* According to our phone call I send you hereby the download link. Just click on the link and choose 'run '. Then reboot your PC and try again the function.

Nordic support *.

But the problems persist. I'm a pretty fast typist, which may explain why more people are not a problem (?). And when I don't need to look at the keys as I type, the risk is, of course, my cursor jumps into my text without my noticing for several sentences... enough frustrating!

Anyone experienced this? Other solutions?

OK, I know what the problem is.

The Synaptics touchpad does not include what is called a palm-control more. They abandoned their driver software. For some reason that I can't quite understand yet.

I do the same thing as you. I plant away on my keyboard only to realize that the text is inserted to midway up.

Palm control is basically a delay on the pavement, listening to your finger pressure. It is said to the computer when I type don't let my tap-click my cursor for a half second pad (or something like that). I got it on my other old computer manufacturer and it is very convenient for crash-away-typists like us.

I learned to type by looking at the keyboard and likes it that way. This worsens the problem more by me not noticing for a long time the cursor jumped.

Tonight, I am furious and went to Synaptics to know why they passed control of palm of new driver software. They do not treat Joe Public like me and you. Only the big boys.
In short, we have Toshiba to return to Synaptics and solve this problem. Which brings me here, who found your post.

The support guy who sent you this file I guess that did not really understand or put it down to a single driver (or other) corruption. We have already installed and reinstall it won't help.
So I know your problem is the same as mine.

Now, I went with the extras in the driver. Vista seems to hang bits of software. According to me, it's why the palm-check isn't there anymore. The software throws just an error indicating that you need a Synaptics touchpad to run this. A bit like a serial number of equipment to stop no Synaptics customers using their juicy software.

I really don't see Synaptics file form of verification of the palm software. But this is only speculation. They can do what they want with their software.

My best guess is the driver components running in the new Vista like they think that. Who stops at the palm working, check that gives us our little bug.

I know that vista puts things in the registry at different locations and the additional bits are looking for Synaptics reg - key allow its use. Who are there, but in the wrong place.

I'll send it to Toshiba Support now and lets hope they can get it fixed.
I guess that if you went back and said, this does not solve what they would have degenerated until someone figured this out. If this isn't the support guys fault entirely.

PS My mouse jumped about a dozen times during typing it yourself. The A200 is such a beautiful little machine. This seems a silly thing to mess it up.

  • Equium A200-1HS - white screen when executing a stack

    Help! Screen is blank when running on the battery. I have Toshiba Equium A200 1HS PSAE2E, BIOS is upgraded (1.80), so the screen Intel drivers (at least Windows (Windows Vista SP2, 32-bit, Home Premium) says).

    This occurs when you are running on battery only. It can happen at any time (even when I use the computer), the screen is set on turn off after 5 minutes, so it isn't that. The backlight is still, but the screen is blank (usually black (or dark grey?), but other colors sometimes also). It seems that the computer is still ongoing. To fix it, I put the lid down and let him go to the standby mode (not hibernate) and open again and it works.

    While running on battery, the screen flickers as (with lines?) every few minutes or so, when the screen is to 'work' (this does not happen when the screen is blank, I think)

    How should I do?

    Dear Jege

    We can discuss here everyday but I think you should seek professional help. Service has special tools to check the LCD and the features of the graphics card. They say that this level occur and if this happen because of a malfunction of the equipment.

    What you can do is to test the functionality in different ways, but I don't think you can fix it.
    In any case, can follow you the things:
    Marketing your laptop computer and enter the BIOS settings and leave it for a while.
    Is there a problem with the display feature? Test it with the dough and power running.

    Start the operating system in safe mode and do the same thing. No problems with it?

  • Cursor jumping around while typing of text.

    UH well?

    Hi Ony Parsons,

    1. What is the brand and model of your system?

    We met this problem and most of the time that this can happen on laptop and when you increase the sensitivity of the touchpad.

    You can try to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad and see if it helps.

    Some options may vary depending on the touchpad software you are using.

    a. click on "Start" and click on "Control Panel."

    b. double-click "mouse". The "Mouse properties" window opens.

    c. go to the tab "device settings". Click on "settings".

    d. examine the left panel of the 'Properties' window and expand the "sensitivity". Click on "Sensitivity to touch."

    e. reduce tactile sensitivity in moving the slider to the right, to the label of "heavy touch. Experiment with different levels of sensitivity until find you one suited to your needs.

    f. click "OK" to close the "Properties" window Repeat the operation with the control panel "mouse". Your new touchpad sensitivity settings are now saved.

  • Cursor jumps at the end of the text when you edit the item

    I use a Javascript function, toUpperCase() to convert input in a text field.  However, when users would like to change a piece of the data string in the text, the cursor changes a character only before jumping at the end of the text and continuing.  This function causes the worsening users.  How can I keep the cursor in the right place within the chain and use always toUpperCase without the cursor jumps at the end of the string?


    Thank you!

    the best way to test is to remove OnKeyUp = "this.value = this.value.toUpperCase (); ' then check if you still have the problem

    strange that the problem's there even when you replace OnKeyUp with onChange because the function must not be executed until the change is complete. Also replace OnKeyUp, onBlur

  • Typing issues (cursor Jumping... moves my text to another sector while typing)

    Someone please help with this problem!  Whenever I type my cursor jumps around and I have to keep going back and deleting and retyping.  Help, please

    I have a sony VAIO and this problem is driving me crazy

    Hi Tim,.

    You're using a laptop by chance?  If so, you can solve this problem by taking a quick glance to your touchpad options.  If you use Windows 7, click the Start button, type mouse in the search field and click on enter.  There should be an option to change the settings of the device for the TouchPad.  On many models, Synaptics is the creator of the TouchPad and has a tab of its own in the mouse properties.  If you do not see these settings, you will need to install the drivers for your manufacturers Web site.

    For Dell machines, you can go to the support.dell.com website.  Select your model and you will find the driver in Input Device Drivers.  For Compaq/HP machines, go to support.hp.com, select your model and find the devices, keyboard, mouse and input.

    I would like to turn off the tap option and raise the sensitivity PalmCheck option.   These are the first options I always change when I get a new laptop; Otherwise, I have the same problem.

    Hope this helps,

    Barbara

  • Cursor jump - is NOT a problem of keyboard!

    Windows 8. My mouse jumps at the beginning of almost all fields of text every few seconds. Note that this is not random jumping - the cursor jumps only at the beginning of the field. I say "almost all" because this forum post is the first I've found where it does not. The problem never happens offline programs, the toolbar or login form fields. Only the fields of text in Firefox. Cannot duplicate in Chrome. I was typing stuff in my word processor and then copy and paste to get anything done on my blog or email. Restarted my computer, and then uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No improvement. I tested and is not remotely to a keyboard problem, such as cursor more jump.

    See what is happening in Firefox Safe Mode.

  • Satellite P300 - cursor jumps back

    Hello

    I have a Satallite P300 - 19 p and when I type after some works the cursur jumps to a place randomly in the text that I write. Is very annoying because I have to look at the screen all the time, I tried to type very slowly to see if I tap on a button by accident, but then it never happens.

    If anyone knows if it is a fault, all other computers that I use if I hit a wrong key, I just get a bad character not the cursor jump to a point prior to writing

    Hello

    I think you touch the keyboard as you type and so the cursor jumps to another post.

    Therefore, you must disable the tapping function in the touchpad driver. After that, you can only use the touchpad for moving the mouse but not for the left clicking (tapping) more.
    Check Control Panel > mouse > advanced settings.

    Here, you can disable this feature.

  • OS sound produce a high-pitched noise (M70-160) + keyboard cursor jumps

    Hello everyone,

    I own a satellite M70-160 for about a year. There are two problems:
    (a) 15 days ago all the sounds of the o/s (for example when windows start/end, wheel etc) no longer works properly and began to produce a high-pitched noise. It's extremely annoying. I downloaded the realtek soundmax which only temporarily solves the problem. Now every time I have reinstall, when sound is shut down it works fine, but then again when I restart the computer it is working properly.
    In addition this problem disappears and appears periodically and it seems that most of the o/s sound time is malfunctioning.

    (b) when I type fast in keyboard cursor jumps into other lines or bar tasks or made the selection of text etc. as there is a kind of shortcut (this problem is not related to the first as it appeared from the beginning).

    I shouldn't forget to mention that I installed almost every new driver (might have missed one or two but it is highly unlikely)

    Thank you very much

    Giorgos

    Hello

    (a) I have the same unit, but so far I didn't notice something like that. If this happens regularly, it makes the not so easy diagnosis. Try to test with different volume levels and also with headphones.
    (b) key combination while typing to disable using FN + F9 touchpad. Maybe you touch touchpad with your hand while typing so fast.

    The last option you can try is updated BIOS. If you want to do this please READ the document how to do this.

  • NB200 - cursor jumps around the screen while typing

    Hello

    When I type in MS Word or OpenOffice or any other text box on a Web site for example flushing prompt that identifies where the next word/character must be placed around the screen jumps.

    So when I type a line of text I then start another line below and then without reason, that the text cursor jumps to the top line. This inserts text in the wrong place, which is incredibly annoying!

    Any help or ideas greatly appreciated!
    Thesis writing will be more months if the problem persists! :)

    Here is the solution I've used and displayed a few threads down...

    Under the properties of the mouse, click on the "Advanced" tab, click on the pointer speed and Tapping settings, in the new screen click setting Tapping, on this screen, check the box that says disable Tapping during the key entry.

    You will suffer is not since the Cursur jump you met more...
