HP G72 cursor moves, keys activate when I haven't touched the

As I'm typing the cursor suddenly moves and I'm going to be typing in a different location.  The screen will move as I pressed the button [pg up]. Functional popups appear for no apparent reason...

Keyboard wrong?

HP technical support made some updates with remote access and the problem resolved.  Everything is done for now.

  • 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.

  • Vista to Windows 7 Upgrade not activate when it is installed on the bare machine

    I have two laptops.

    The first belonged originally to my employer and originally had an OEM of Vista installation.  After that I bought them that I've upgraded to Windows 7 Home Premium via the upgrade Vista product. This laptop is dead in a final very recently.

    Also the second laptop was bought by my employer, but as bare metal (they were more able to transfer licenses of Windows). He had no OS installed. I was not able to install a copy of Vista on it (because the purchase of the laptop one did not include the disks of Vista). So that I could not transfer activation. Windows 7 upgrade-to-Vista install has worked well on the bare machine (after downloading the drivers and others) except for activation, where he could not say "you cannot use an upgrade installation."

    I guess, reading a bit on this topic here, I'm out of luck on the old Windows 7 license transfer (although I'd like to hear otherwise). Even if this is the case, I need to know what I need to follow to install a version "authentic". I don't want to build the machine from scratch once again, if I can avoid it - it was very tedious. I don't want to 'upgrade' to Windows 8.

    He would work to install a version of Windows 7 OEM on top of the existing, or must they be installed on a naked machine? Is there a different version that works if that won't? (Special bonus question: would such a facility, if it works, make the machine that is eligible for a free upgrade of Windows 10?)

    Thanks for all your comments and responses.

  • Alienware 15 'K' key crashes when you press any of the line

    Howdy,

    I have a little problem with my new laptop Alienware 15. Two weeks after getting it, I noticed that the key K tends to get stuck when you press any of the line. Basically, it remains in the pressed position and not coming back to the top unless I force it by inserting something like a needle under it.

    In the limited time, I used the laptop I have not stressed that special touch at all (just looked on the key combinations of the games that I've played so far and the K key was not used).

    Advice on what to do? I was thinking to get one of these cans of compressed air and blow air under the key and see if that solves nothing. A little scared to take a screwdriver and remove since who knows what I'm going to spoil. I would not have to send the laptop back just because one key is stuck and I hope it doesn't come to that.

    Thanks for any help.

    compressed air is a good choice, you can use a clean brush also (in my case I use both to clean my knees)

  • Keys invalid when you try to enter the vFabric license key

    I'm trying to follow the QuickStart in the following doc guide http://pubs.VMware.com/vfabric5/index.jsp?topic=/com.VMware.vFabric.platform.5.0/vFabric/install-repo-install.html

    I installed the vFabric Licnse server on my virtual center server.  Successful installation.  Now when I try to put in my key it says that certain keys in the license could not be added to your inventory.  Invalid key.

    I have triple checked the key and that's okay.  I even tried another key, and it did not work as well.  I'm pulling my section of vmware license keys key information.

    I guess there is a problem with how this validate these keys.  It was my guess as to why you need to install the license server application vFrbric.

    On a hunch, I returned and uninstalled vfabric license server application and installed again with garbage such as user name and password values and he has always said that she installed correctly.  Therefore, there is no validation of your accountinformation in Setup.  After having done that, I turned my back to my pre vfabric virtual Center install and tried to install it again, triple check all my settings.  The same problem.

    Is there a way to check this properly installed?  I went if the Setup log and a few errors, but nothing that I could also determine important.

    As always, your help is aprciated.

    You try to do it with a script PowerCLI?

  • How to change the width of key column when you view files in the Explorer window?

    Can someone help me with this one major annoyance I have with Vista?

    I opened an Explorer window and I want to resize the first column, so I can see the full file name.  (First I accidentally spend whole column name because I can't seem to find my mouse to keep the resizing grabber.)   Now that I have the desired column width, is it possible to make the column width by default for all future Explorer Windows I open?   I've grown very tired of having to resize this column whenever I open an Explorer window.

  • Why do I get a message asking about to cancel the Microsoft Safety Scanner when I haven't touched my machine?

    I downloaded the Scanner Microsoft, ran, and as he ran, he came twice to the top with a message box read, "If you cancel the analysis, the tool doesn't scan and clean your computer. Malicious or unwanted software that the tool can help to eliminate can be left on your computer. Are you sure you want to cancel? "I don't understand why it would come once and even twice, because I didn't click anything while the scan is running.  I stopped the scan and disconnected my cable modem and then ran the scan, get the same message twice again.  A reflection as to why it appeared?  XP Home Edition / 32-bit.

  • Satellite R850 - cursor moves at random while typing

    I use this R850 because it was provided by the work.
    I found it almost as frustrating as the HP, I got to my previous job... and it's for the same reasons!

    -The cursor moves randomly, then when typing I find I type completely in the wrong place.
    -It removes random pieces of my work - particularly frustrating on a web page where there is no "undo" button
    -When you use functions like drag in the editor, or highlight text, the touchpad is not always cooperative.
    -Some random/spaces etc. letters do not occur despite proper pressure.

    Quite frankly, it takes too much time to do things and I want to throw out of a dam in a deep lake.

    No liquid has been spilled on it.
    Are no crumbs in the keyboard.
    This seems to be a defective product as the "HP Elitebook" I got last year!

    This happened to me because I accidentally touched the touchpad while typing.
    In my case I could solve this annoying problem issue but the option settings: disable the touchpad while typing.

    This setting should be available in Control Panel-> mouse-> avancΘs

    The other option is to disable the touch pad using the function key

  • Remote Desktop Connection cursor moves across

  • The cursor moves when I type

    Original title: cursor problem
    When the cursor of the hit goes and makes me angry. I am very troubled by this question. due tho it takes me too long to type a single paragraph. Please find me a solution.

    looking forward to hearing from you soon.
    Deepak

    Hi deepak,

    This is almost always caused by accidentally touching the touchpad on a laptop (I guess that's what we deal here).  It happened to me and I found it quite boring (and it took me a while to diagnose).  Test by typing in a very uncomfortable position with hands almost vertically above the keyboard and absolutely and definitely by far come the touchpad.  If the problem goes away, this is the cause, and there are several possible solutions.

    First go to start / Control Panel / mouse and see if there are any parameters to set the sensitivity of the touchpad.  If so, set it so that it requires a much more difficult to work - key then maybe your key light that you type will not cause the cursor to move.

    Go to your computer manufacturer's website and update your touchpad driver (you must also update the firmware or software) to those most recent appropriate for your operating system provided on the website (even if it seems that it is the same thing) for your laptop model and your computer.  If there is an update for the keyboard as well, install for just to rule out it as a cause.

    Once done, go to start / Control Panel / mouse and check the settings. There may be one to set the sensitivity of the touchpad, so it takes more strength to activate and this can help - which is also good he'll get without turning off completely (and then you need a mouse). In my case, a Dell, I could not pay enough and ended up finding a laser wireless mouse and turned off the touchpad to solve the problem. I don't plan on using the mouse at all (and in fact, find it more convenient, because I never liked the touchpad in the first place).

    If this does not work, you have a mouse, you can use instead of the touchpad (and the option to disable the touchpad when using the mouse) to test if that solves the problem?  If so, then the problem is almost certainly the touchpad and the procedures above are pretty good your options.  If this does not work, then you have a keyboard, you can plug in and use instead of the keyboard of the laptop?  If so, try and see if it makes a difference.  If so, you will need to be replaced the laptop keyboard or use the separate keyboard.

    If none of the works above, try a boot minimum http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135.  If the problem goes away then it's just a matter of tracking down the culprit at the origin of the problem.   Follow the procedures described in the article.  Once found, remove, delete, disable or uninstall.  Once remember to put Vista in normal status, as described in the procedures. If the problem occurs in clean mode then just restore the system to normal and reboot - this solution will not work.

    Start in safe mode with network and see if the problem is here.  A result allows us to narrow down the search for the cause.

    I hope this helps.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro A300 - the cursor moves continuously when connected an external mouse

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A300. When I connect a mouse directly by USB the cursor moves constantly. I also have a mouse attached via a docking station, Toshiba and that works perfectly.

    It doesn't matter what USB port I use or if the laptop is connected to the docking station or not, or if it works on AC or on battery power.

    I thought it was the mouse that was the problem, so I went and bought a new one but the problem persists.

    Actually, while I wrote this post, he has stopped doing that and then started! Very frustrating.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you
