jump my cursor on my Acer laptop

My cursor on my Acer laptop Vista jumps around when I type.  He's good enough to stay in the right place if I use 1 finger HELP it is making me CRAZY!

First thing I would try is updating the driver for it.

Start-> Type "Device Manager"-> mouse & other pointing devices
Right click on the touchpad-> update software of the driver

  • Jump the cursor into the Acer laptop.

    Original title: cursor jump

    Okay, I didn't read ALL the letters, but I read a lot.  I had this problem on my Acer for months, and it was driving me crazy.  I spoke to Microsoft technical support, HA!  I talked to Acer support, they wanted me $120.00 to fix the (unspecified) load "software problem" not covered by my warranty (see how to help you?) to my laptop 5 month old.  I have tried MANY fixes suggested for the problem, and the only one that worked (so far!) was touchpad freeze.  Thank you so much, anyone who posted this one!

    Hey cookiebetter,

    Perhaps the follow-up on the thread whose suggestion fixed the question would have been more useful. There is a lot of talk circulating in this forum about cursor jumping and various suggestions such as reduction of sensitivity touchpad helped in correcting the errors. Apparently, there are many causes of this problem. But we are pleased to see that your problem is solved.

    the process of acer administers the process of full recovery to the standards of the factory

    you start from the acer recovery disk to start a reinstallation of vista, back to factory standards and follow the prompts

    problem with the acer recovery process, you will need to contact acer

    It's their recovery process

  • get a copy of Vista OEM or reinstall an ACER laptop.

    I have a situation, where I'd like to perform a recovery on an ACER laptop to restore factory settings, however I have no CD to go with it. I have a long history here, perhaps someone more familiar with laptops and Vista installation can suggest where to begin the search, or the place where process? I am VERY familiar with the repair of Windows 95, 98, 2000, and XP is installed on desktop computers, but you don't master with Vista. I also have little experience with laptops and am not sure if the laptop has a recovery partition which can restore the factory settings or if it's just a thing of emergency repair, as my investigation into what was wrong with the laptop was a little weird. I'll do a post that is a bit of a long story, but it should show my process of thought as well as my skill level. I spent

    A knowledge of my friends has recently undergone a crash of hard disk on his laptop computer, although he didn't know exactly what was the problem at the time. Fortunately there is nothing on the drive that does not saved except for the OS.

    At first glance, it appeared that the hard drive was bad, and he went out and bought a new laptop. Outings, I was informed about this and they asked if I wanted this one for parts or to try to fix it if I could.

    After receiving the laptop, I decided to check what was wrong. I tried to turn on immediately, before even to sort out the power cord, but nothing happened. He was dead. The laptop was unused for several days before being delivered to me. Thinking that was the problem, I have dispaired that I never changed a power supply in a laptop. However, for the heck of it, I plugged in the power cord and to my surprise, it started. This dead battery may be important later.

    He has been starting some sort of partition repair which gave me access to repair system I since lost access to. The thing was, when I got to the screen that says "System Recovery Options" with the "motor load' and 'next' boxes at the bottom, no OS installs were neither were all partitions.

    I got to the menu where it gave me options, with "command prompt" downstairs. I just assumed it was like the XP Recovery console and I tried to use it as such.

    They gave me a "X:\windows\system32" prompt, which I thought was weird, because it's the X drive instead of drive C. The people in question can barely use a computer, so they would not have reassigned the drive letter.

    I did dir c: and had an error on drive c. be corrupted. Also, I did a dir d: and get "file not found" that seemed weird. It turns out that the E drive was the dvd - rom, then I discovered. Other letters gave errors and invalid letters.

    I decided to start with the basics, and I used the command chkdsk on drives C and D. To my surprise, that seemed to do the trick, and after restart I was taken in the Welcome screen.

    Restart at first seemed to be a mistake, as I have since not managed to find a way to return to this menu of repair and subsequent attempts through the Vista Start menu (or whatever you call the menu that is displayed when hitting F8 these days.) Its name has changed between Windows 95 and xP) need the administrator password.

    I was to call back them and get the password from them, and I'd have to try to use one of the solutions 'password lost admin, cannot connect', I didn't know if it would be a good idea on a potentially damaged system of mud autour with registry hacks.

    At that time, it was late in the day and I had a few other things to do. I decided to start with Windows Defender antivirus scans and the tread Micro antivirus, that have been installed. He had a subscription to the microphone of the tread, so I connected the laptop to my programmer, updated definitions and performed a full scan.

    The two negative came scans, with the exception of a few tracking cookies. At this point, it was late and I was tiered, so I all stop and went to bed. I had disconnected the laptop to my switch and it sat in my bedroom next to the bed.

    Around 01:00 a.m., I was awakened by a strong and heard the WHIR of the laptop sounds beep. The computer had apparently turned on, but when I opened the file, the screen doesn't have to turn on. Think of some sort of virus or Trojan was at fault, since a disconnected laptop should be on NOT himself in the middle of the night, I hit the power button to turn it off, and he succeeded.

    In the morning, I tried to install malwarebytes and run a scan and it found several things he called Trojan horses, as well as some adware. I removed it.

    I have found it useful to keep on the laptop, and rather than to try to clean it up, I would like to reinstall from scratch.

    I looked on the internet and found that most Acer laptops should have their accessible restore partitions by pressing control-f10 or alt + f10.

    Here's the strange thing. I did, and it started working. However, I had a Windows XP startup screen and it says "Windows XP".

    The laptop is running Vista Home Premium, and there a House premium sticker product key OEM on the bottom. If the recovery partition installed XP and asks me a product key XP, I'm GROUND.

    I have an OEM copy of Vista, but it's for a 4200DX gateway. Somehow I doubt that it will help you for the upgrade of the Vista laptop. Any suggestions?

    Jumped the gun in the abandonment of the XP, need it install Vista?

    The laptop is an Acer Aspire 5570Z according to the engraving on the front.

    On the back it says:

    MFG. Date: 0706 Aspire 5570-2067

    Yes, suggestions? I could try to clean install, but it is probably better to start from scratch. On the other hand, have XP is probably a better choice, because the laptop has only 1 GB of RAM. Possibility to choose, I would choose XP on 7 or Vistafor this computer, but which leaves me with the problem of a product key.

    If the recovery partition is indeed a XP product key, is it possible that Microsoft would leave me to transfer the license from a dead Tower brand OEM copy of XP home to this laptop? I doubt that the key of this death dell sticker product could work on this laptop, but it would be worth it. I need a new key, and they could indicate the old key as invalid with Windows Genuine Advantage and refuse to turn it on.

    Suggest that call you Acer to see if they can make any sense out of it.

    Some restore partitions when launched as the emachines PC (I fixed in the last days) installed XP preactivated and no key was needed.

    You have an Acer laptop, Packard Bell Windows Vista computer running?

    Packard Bell OEM Windows can only be used on machines from Packard Bell.

    If the label says XP, then the machine was initially delivered with XP,

    and the one who sold you the machine will rip you off with an illegal copy of Vista.

    If you can, get your money back.

    If not, you will have either to reinstall XP, or get a legitimate copy of something more recent.

  • Problems connecting an older Acer laptop with Windows XP using a dlink router

    I recently bought a new router dlink (N 300 Router wireless) and installed on my Dell desktop computer that is running Windows 7 Home Premium, desktop as well as my Sony Vaio laptop which runs the same OS connects fine to the internet.

  • Want to buy the computer acer laptop

    Does anyone have suggestions on buying a cheap Acer laptop with or without optical drive

    I bought an Acer Aspire R7 R7 571/R7-572 in 2013, I have no regrets.  It's a portable tablet convertible and I particularly like this feature.  Not so much because it's an Acer, but because I can fold the monitor flat on top of the keyboard or just pull it forward and adjust it to my line of vision or to stop a glow of a lamp.  This Acer has a very fast start up.  I put 10 W on it when it is released.  I also ordered the stick of reformatting, but it is very expensive compared to other manufacturers. Be able to reformat saved a lot of money since 1996.

    I have tryied to use acer.com website to find information on an Acer laptop. I think that this site is almost useless, because I can't find a product (I click on search, but neither a result or an error is returned). I have tryied with E3-112-C658 and NX. MRLEX.001 also, I tried to search a list produscts. Couldn't find any exact product AND no accurate technical tests are provided for existing product. I downloaded a manual for a similar product and that it contains or sheet or upgrade instruction (HARD drive / RAM replacement)

    I want to know about more top model how much RAM it only supports and is easy to replace RAM/HDD (I don't like to deal with more than 8 screws for this operaon). Can you help me please?

  • Acer laptop opportunity; looking for a good OS software

    I recently bought an Acer laptop from a computer retailer.  The computer model is ZG5.  Only, the computer was shipped with a power supply cord.  I don't have a backup of the operating system drive.  The computer running XP Professional.  The windows installer does not work, and I can't install or update applications.  I would like to install the operating system that should be with the computer.  Where can I get a copy of it?

    There are ways for you to recover the system, according to what was done for the operating system and a hard drive.

    First, recovery media can be acquired through the Acer online shop: http://store.acer.com/

    Second, we ship our systems with a recovery partition that allows you to reload the factory settings.  If this partition is still intact, you can use the second link above, restaurants outside of Windows, to restore the system to the original shipping charge.

    Hope that helps.

  • How can I transfer my Gallery A-810 to my Acer laptop?

    I need to transfer my Gallery on my laptop.  I also want to use the SD card to store and transfer photos.  Help you enjoy.

    Plug your A-810 on your Acer laptop with the USB cable, then you can browse the internal memory and the SD of your PC with the windows default application, so you can copy and paste images.

    You can move the entire DCIM folder (where your photos are stored) from the internal memory to the card CD.

    to define the SD card as default image save the position, you need to check on the parameters of the camera app (which is normally in storage).
