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.

Kind regards

  • Need help to replace my DVD burner in the Acer laptop

    Hello

    I have a laptop Acer (TravelMate 5720) running in very good condition I bought about 7 years back!

    However, the motor in the DVD player does not now - he is gone and must be replaced by a new DVD burner.

    When I checked on eBay to buy a new DVD burner for this model, there are 2 types sold either IDE (PATA) and SATA DVD burners. I don't know which of those above my laptop supports.

    I checked the properties of the CD drive in my computer and it says "hl-dt-st dvdram gsa-t40n ata device.

    How will I know which of the 2 above that you buy... ??

    Kindly help me. Let me know in case additional specifications are necessary on this you.

    -Mr. Abed

    You must remove the unit from your laptop. You will immediately see if it has an IDE or a SATA connector. See Wikipedia so not sure what these connectors look like.

    Hi Susan

    How do you disable the Touchpad?

    You can always navigate in Windows using the keyboard.

    Example: If you have disabled the Touchpad in Control Panel / mouse settings.

    Press Windows key + R to display the Run dialog box.

    Type Control.exe, and then press ENTER. This will open the control panel.

    Start by pressing the Tab key until the point of the mouse is highlighted, and then press ENTER.

    In the properties of the mouse:

    Press the Tab key until you highlight the element you want to change.

    If you need to select another tab at the top of the dialog box, press the Tab key until the first tab is selected, and then use the arrow keys to select another tab. When you have the appropriate tab selected, press ENTER.

    If this does not work for you, you may need to get a USB mouse. This should work as soon as plug you it into the system.

    Let us know if you have any other questions.

    2. in Device Manager, locate the touchpad, and then double-click the device name.
    3. click Driver tab, then click on set to update driver and follow the instructions.
    4. now Locate Display Adapter and then double-click the device name.
    5. click Driver tab, then click on set to update driver and follow the instructions.

  • Acer laptop does not start after the blue screen

    After I got a blue screen (flashed by too fast to see the error message) when I try to reboot my acer 5610Z laptop computer with vista home edition, usually nothing happens at all. sometimes windows is trying to run the Startup Repair tool, then crashes and only a cursor flashing at a black screen.  Tried to open the case and clean the Fan & Heatsink heat to air without effect.

    The blue screen came a few days after I started using a new USB mouse, but the fan seemed to get high a few days earlier.

    But I noticed it will make the road to startup repair only if the battery is in, and never if only the power cord is attached.  Also, if I let the computer sit for several days, it is more likely start (even though he never passed from the Startup Repair).

    1. try the system restore.

    2. try to do a startup repair disk.

    3 acer Recovery Options.

    4. contact Acer.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.

    You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

    There is not a disk of resettlement.

    And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.
