In Windows 7, why cursor moves when you type, causing need to return the position of the cursor?

After inserting the cursor to start typing, the cursor moves frequently on his own.  This translates into the need to reposition the cursor and enter again before continuing to type.  I can't believe such a lack of basis occurs in the new product, but I can't work out how to remedy.

I also noticed that other measures be taken before I even clicked or pressed enter, taking me where I want to be far away.  I own a computer using XP Professional and have never experienced this problem.  Only since I use my friends laptop installed with Windows 7 I just through that.

I'm not sure I want to upgrade to Windows 7 if it is so cumbersome to work with.

Everyone has noticed this and how is it fixed?

Thanks much, Jeanette

Hello Jessen P

Have you looked at drivers as you suggest.  As a result, it became obvious that my friend had not installed the mouse trackball with the software provided with the mouse.  It has been installed.  Cursor action now seems stable.  Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.

Kind regards

Jeanette

  • Window Popup with strange characters when you want to play music from the cloud

    When I try to play music on the cloud (music downloaded on my computer), I get a popup with some strange characters. It was working fine 2 days ago. Nothing has changed on my computer. I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling. Shows the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    This is what looks like the pop-up window.

    PS - all anti-virus software are up and running.

    As an addendum, I tried to download music (by clicking on the cloud icon, which then shows an arrow pointing downwards). This popup has shown once again.

    Then I thought maybe it was having a problem with my account or my computer don't think she was allowed. So I checked my account login, and I was connected. Then I tried allowing my computer and this popup appeared again. I then tried my scroll wheel and it seems that it is a right screen. I guess that is the lower right button 'accept' but I'm not confident in the present.

  • the cursor moves when you type on another line without any command to do so. Line never even

    When type any message in outlook or word or excel the cursor will move to another line anywhere in the message, never the same thing apparently not and of course you add letters to words, a line or it will even go to the signature block.  In this case no order for the cursor to move

    This usually happens on laptops by a sleeve or an arm moving above the small box that replaces a conventional mouse.  Most of these devices can have their reduced sensitivity, or you can search the ' net for one of the many utilities that turn them all in being key off the coast.

  • Key board does not work correctly when you type. Can not get the system restore to work properly, either

    Tried to run the system restore, but it will not restore.

    Hey AnnEdelstein,

    Because you can't get the system restore to work, perform a clean boot on your Windows XP system. The guide to that is here. Which follow, and then try again to Outlook. If it works to the minimum, then boot in the boot, analyse the whole system with your Antivirus and other security you have.
    Also make sure you have the drivers for the keyboard. Search for the manufacturing of the keyboard, and they should have the drivers on their support site. I hope this has been helpful!
  • Mirage Pivot fails when you are using software that replaces the Windows Login (GINA) as Imprivata

    When you try to perform a migration recently at a client site the pivot process has not completed as planned because of Imprivata. Imprivata is a SINGLE sign that seems to replace the Windows GINA and provides a custom login screen.

    During an attempt of the Pivot process (Mirage 4.3) the start of Windows Update screen does not appear and the standard Windows login is displayed. When you manually login customer Mirage shows the USMT process is underway. This allows users to log in and is generally not the process but it does not complete the USMT process and join the domain.

    This is due to the customer Imprivata, although we suspect that would happen with any product which replaces GINA of Windows.

    Workaround solution:

    We are uninstalling the client of the base image Imprivata and try to apply this to be an application layer or display the migration script.

    Has anyone else had this problem with a SINGLE sign or a custom GINA solution?

    Peter

    We have removed Imprivata and the process worked ok. We are now reinstall using the post migration script that works

    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.

    I hope this helps.

  • Why the cursor jump to other places when you type?

    When you type, the cursor jumps to other lines or words, sometimes jumps 2 or 3 lines.  In addition, when you use arrow down, he jumps at the end of the page, instead of 2 or 3 lines of scrolling.

    Operating system is Vista, SP2, Dell Vostro A860.  Problem occurs especially during the seizure of the e-mail program.  I don't remember not all changes made on the PC, however, suddenly it was happening more often, so could increase after having chosen the system restore to return to a different restore point.  After the announcement of this issue, I've seen in many cases of this problem in the Microsoft Forums and after those suggestions concerning the sensitivity of the touchpad, I changed the sessions for Tablet and I think my problem is resolved.

  • Why you put "Open a new tab" on the right side of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

    I changed my computer from XP to Windows 7 and migrated my FF browsers. But... now the tabs at the top of the page are all right (they were upper-front left - where I loved her)

    The most important is the "open a new tab" + - is on the right. But that is not sensible. Why you put "Open a new tab" on the extreme right of the browser, when you close a tab on the left and you type a new URL in the browser on the left?

    How can I put my "open a new tab" immediately to the right of 'Close tab' - as if it was before?

    Please advise?

    Try clicking on "Restore default settings" in the palette to customize to reset the toolbar customization.

    Hello

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    1. Click the menu button

      and select Options

    2. In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
    3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    4. Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base article:

    ---
    If she did not help, then probably one of your extensions is causing problems. You can follow some tips in this article to help understand that one.

    The problem occurred recently? It could be that an old extension does not play nice with an update of Firefox, or an extension recently update causes problems for some users.

    If your right click on your tab bar, you can bookmark all your open tabs in the window of a folder of bookmarks. Please see the article to see how you can save your bookmarks:

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. This might help others with the same problem.

  • Problems with the cursor when you type

    I don't know if it's something in Vista, but I have terrible problems in Word and when typing emails. I can touch type and normal type without looking at the screen. However, I find when I look at the screen, the cursor inexplicably himself stuck about4-6 rear lines and hit the last piece in the middle of the existing text. In fact it just happened again - when I type ing he climbed to the title: why!

    I feel responsible because I don't get it in the older microsoft software that I use at work and it has never done in internet cafes - didn't have it a few months, but it drives me crazy: why it does this?

  • Cursor moves, when I type

    Cursor moves, when I type

    Hello

    Here's a ccouple common causes of this problem.

    (1) you have a TouchPad (on a laptop) and brush your thumb against it. Response > disable it (often a button) and get a mouse.

    (2) your mouse driver is broken and making interference from other programs. Response > download and install the latest driver for your mouse.

    (3) the surface you have you mouse over is the reflection and the mouse is not able to function properly > try a new surface under your mouse. Try a better functioning of colors, matte or rough surface and darker.

    (4) you have a wireless mouse and the battery is about to go out.

    (5) that you have installed a new program or device recently that interferes. Response > try #2 above or uninstall the program, or make sure that the device you have installed has the latest drivers.

    I hope this helps

    Hello

    You use a desktop or laptop computer?

    Is the mouse a mouse wired or wireless?

    What is the brand and model of the computer and the mouse?

    If you are using a laptop, I suggest to change the sensitivity of the mouse pad.

    If this is a wireless mouse it might be interference from another close to the mouse. Make sure that speech recognition is not enabled.
