In Vista, cursor jumps around on the screen randomly

  Vista, why my cursor jumps around on the screen without reason?

  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!

• My cursor jumps all over the screen while typing.

  Original title: TYPING PROBLEM

  MY CURSOR JUMPS AROUND WHEN I TAPE. I DID A SCAN BUT NO HELP.

  Ok. I use a Dell computer. I can only show how I do in my Dell computer.

  Basically, you need to perform the settings with touchpad you. He is too sensitive. When you start typing, you touched the touchpad inadvertently, and moved the cursor.
  Here's how I'd do...

  Right-click on a free space of the desktop > customize > mouse pointers > (this is where if you do not have a Dell PC, you may not be able to follow. But you should have an idea right after that).

  I click Dell Touchpad tab > Device Select > I would like to either click on 'Disable' under the Touchpad > or put a check mark on "Disable Touchpad when external mouse usb is present." > OK

  

  Another method >
  Click Touchpad > Touchpad settings > under tactile sensitivity, move the slide to the RIGHT (heavy)
  > OK

• HOW IS IT MY MOUSE JUMPS AROUND ON THE SCREEN, OR STOP SUDDENLY

  my mouse jumps all over the screen, and it suddenly stops moving.

  Test your mouse on another PC. If the problem persists, the mouse is defective.

  Test another (known working) mouse on your PC, if the fault persists your PC is faulty somehow.

  It's a mouse laser (light rather than a rolling ball works)? If it is try different a surface or a mouse pad. Some surfaces, e.g. mouse pads and mousepad hologram photo will lead crazy optical mice.

  If it is a bearing ball mouse, clean the rollers inside.

  It is USB, PS/2 or series? Wired or wireless? Check the battery if wireless.

• cursor jumps around on the page, particularly when you type in gmail

  Hi wonder if anyone can help. When I type in gmail the cursor randomly jumps to different parts of the page without me touching the touchpad or buttons. My palms are based next to the touch pad but it sees enough to cause problems. I noticed that if I raise my palms to their resting place, the problem goes away, but it is a very uncomfortable way to type. Does anyone else have this problem, or more importantly, someone at - he found a solution? Sounds like a faulty design for me.

  Thanks Mark

  This problem can cause due to infections by the virus. I suggest trying to boot into safe mode and put the computer in a clean boot state and check if that helps.

• mouse not working not properly. It jumps all over the screen by itself

  Since the upgrade to the latest version of El Capitan, I have a problem with my mouse and my Trackpad 2. The trackpad does not at all even though it is connected and bluetooth works. The mouse jumps around on the screen and it is difficult to land on the site I want.

  If the mouse you mention is a Magic Mouse 1, which is probably the reason why.   Magic mouse 1 works up to a point, but you need Magic Mouse 2 for maximum effect, once you have upgraded to El Capitan.  I would add, with new OS on the horizon (Sierra), your need for MM2 becomes even more pressing.

  Hi Phil,

  1. what kind of mouse do you use? Wired or wireless?

  Put the computer to boot and then check if the problem persists

  Follow step 1 in the link below,

  If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

  Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
  After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

  Important: n ' forget not to put the computer to a normal startup follow step 7 in the link.

• 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.

• 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.

• I can barely type a sentence in email or office without the cursor jumps around. It gets worse every day! ... What happens and how can I fix it or stop?

  I can't type a paper letter or in school without the cursor jumps around. It just happened again! ... He jumps around and I have to watch very closely... he already did 3 x now, just try to type these 3 phrases! What is wrong w / my laptop? and how can I solve this problem!

  Just a guess, you could have a setting on a place where some keys move the mouse. That would be used in the case that you do not have a mouse.

  Other that I can't help you much. If you are using a desktop computer, try to unplug the mouse and see what happens. If you're on a laptop, it could be that the trackpad is having problems.
