Guard cursor jumping around while I type

Original title: keyboard

I type some words and all of a sudden, I noticed that the cursor jumps back and I find myself typing in the middle of my sentence.

It took me like 5 minutes just for this type. She tends to jump back only (not really before?) and its so annoying.

Has anyone encountered this situation and what solution did you find?

Thank you

Hello.

Using a laptop?

In many cases when people feel things like that, it's because they rest their arms on or around the touchpad and touch accidentally while typing. Try typing something and don't forget to keep your arm clear of the touchpad to see if it has an effect any.

    I'll guess that you are using a laptop with a touchpad? If Yes, go to control panel and see if you can adjust the sensitivity of it, because chances are you're grazing while typing.

  • I have problems with the cursor jumping around when I type, especially on facebook.

    When I type, the cursor jumps around. Most of the time he'll be back in the part I typed before. And for some reason, he does it almost everytime I type in the word you. I have run virus scans and she always does. Any suggestions?

    By chance, your computer is a laptop or netbook?
    I found that when typing, my wrist is sometimes contact with the touchpad causing the cursor to jump on.  Something specific on how you type 'you' might make your wrist touch the touchpad.  If this is your case, there is a program called 'touchfreeze' which disables the touchpad while you type.

    You have a laptop?  Your laptop has a touchpad?
    I have found that on some portable computers when I type, my wrist / hand comes in contact with the touch pad and move the cursor around everywhere.  Some laptops have a switch for the touch pad just for this reason.

  • Cursor jumping around while typing of text.

    Original title: why you (Microsoft) ignore the fact that the cursor jump around for text entry is a global problem that occurs on several platforms and applications?  It is not a problem of mouse and you know it.

    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.

    You can also consult the following article:

    Change the settings of the mouse

    Hope this information is useful.

  • My cursor jumps around while I'm typing and my screen goes black too, how can I fix?

    EU is windows 7 Home premium, no matter what. :(

    I'm writing and MS word is really difficult.

    Hello

    In order to quickly provide a solution, please answer these questions:

    1. is the issue limited while typing with Microsoft Office Word?

    2. What is the brand and model of the computer?

    3 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    If you use a laptop, there is a possibility that your palm is touching the touchpad and cursor to jump. You can try to reduce the sensitivity of the Touchpad and see if the problem still occurs.

    a. click on the "Start" icon in the lower left corner of the screen. Select "Control Panel". Then, select "mouse" under 'hardware and sound'. You can also click on the touchpad while the cursor is anywhere on the desktop. In this screen, choose "mouse pointers."

    b. Select the tab 'buttons' at the top of the dialog box that opens. This shows the type of touchpad device installed on your laptop.

    c. set the touchpad for right or left-handed use in this dialog box. You can adjust the speed of the double click of your computer as well. When you have finished making changes, click 'apply'.

    d. choose the tab "device settings" dialog box now. You can see the touchpad for your Vista machine highlighted on the screen. Select "settings".

    e. read the information provided in the following dialog box. It gives you options for your touchpad Cup, using the buttons, scrolling, pointer movement and sensitivity.

    f. make any changes that you want from the various subjects. When you make a change, click 'apply'. When you have completed all your changes, click 'OK'.

    g. don't some works on your computer for a while, if the touchpad is still too sensitive, return to the menu 'mouse' and continue to adjust the settings to what you get them just the way you want.

    If you use the desktop computer with the external mouse, you can change the settings of the mouse and check if it works.

  • My cursor jumps around while I'm typing

    This is probably the third time in two years I tried to get help for this problem.  I am currently using a Dell Inspiron, which has nothing to do with it, but I use Windows 7 probably has a lot to do with it.
    As I type, the cursor flies over everything about the place.  I am a touch typist and don't like to have to watch the screen while typing, but this problem has deteriorated to such a State that I can barely get through two sentences without having to stop and fix something.  This is intolerable and I'm THIS CLOSE to buying a Mac.
    This isn't because of me accidentally brushing my hand on the Tablet, this isn't because of any parameter pointer being on or off, is NOT because of all the other things that were provided as responses during the last months of 2 dozen.  I need a solution to this.  This is a bug of Microsoft.  Someone please admit it, find it and fix it?  Fortunately, I need a new computer.  If I don't get a fix for this, I have not buy another PC.
    While typing this I had to stop three times to close a window of thugs who opens or back up and clear some mess or just to find the elusive slider.  Honestly.  I can't take it anymore.

  • Keyboard problems - the circumflex accent keeps jumping around while I type! HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

    Product name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC

    Product number: B1W89EA #ABU

    Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit

    I have made no recent changes.

    Problem:

    Everything by typing the caret keeps jumping to the top of the screen so that the text I'm in the mid typing eventually disappear to a random position longer than the top of the page, I already typed in the middle of the text.

    For a few weeks, I assumed that it was just me slipping, as I only started using the shortcut ctrl + arrow keys to scroll the text easier. However, I am becoming very sure that this is not the case because it happens to average flow by typing quite normal (i.e. not involving not the arrow keys at all!).

    I didn't have this laptop last summer, but I'm a finalist uni and REALLY rely on my laptop. I type a lot, and it's really annoying and inconvenient

    Hello NerdWhale.  I understand that you are having problems with your keyboard.

    You should try to remove the keyboard and reset the laptop hard driver.  This will force the material in order to be reset.  Try the following.

    1. Click Start, type "Device Manager" and press ENTER.
    2. Expand the section of keyboards.
    3. Right-click on each device and select uninstall.
    4. Shut down the laptop.
    5. Remove the battery and AC power.
    6. Press and hold the power button for 15-20 seconds, three times.
    7. Replace the battery and AC power.
    8. Start Notepad and allow Windows to reinstall the drivers.
    9. Check whether the problem is resolved and post the result.

    I'll keep an eye out for your answer.  Have a great day!

    Can you help me with a solution?  I'm not very technical, but it can follow the detailed instructions.

    Hello

    First, download the Setup driver Synaptics following on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp46501-47000/sp46509.exe

    Then, open windows control panel, open programs and features, right click on the entry "Synaptics Pointing Device Driver" and choose uninstall.

    Once done, restart the laptop.

    When windows has completely recharged, open your download folder, click with the right button on the setup of Synaptics and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once done, restart the laptop.

    Kind regards

  • When you type, the cursor jumps around. How can I correct this situation?

    When you type, the cursor jumps around.  How can I correct this situation?

    It is a very common problem when users become familiar with a new laptop. Either your palm/wrist/cuff/bracelet is touching the touchpad as you type or the touch pad sensitivity is set too high and reacts to strong strikes.
    • Someone to watch you while you type to see if you accidentally touch touchpad of the notebook.
    • Go to the control panel mouse configuration and reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad.
    • Make sure you use the latest version of the driver from the manufacturer of the laptop for the touchpad and update if a new becomes available.
    • Disable the touchpad entirely in favor of a wireless laptop mouse.
    As noted previously, this is a very common problem and users are usually completely unaware they do even when it is pointed out to them.
