My cursor jumps when I type quickly - usually within WORD or PUPILLARY and mess up my paper. Help

As I'm typing, the cursor moves and changes where I tap on another line. It's SO frustrating! I am a student online and do not have time for it. I'm not accidentally pressed the button either. Help, please.  This was not the case when the computer is new, but after DELL came to my house and method to make adjustments to the computer, it happened. Makes me crazy!

Take a look in Control Panel > mouse and see if you can adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad glide. Another way to check is to use an external keyboard and see if it happens again.

I hope this helps.

    To "restart" the computer means turn off and turn back on. Surely you
    don't want that. You probably want to reinstall Windows. No, you
    probably don't need to do.

    or y at - it a simpler way or even another way to solve this problem?

    It's a laptop? If Yes, most likely you are accidentally brushing

  • In Windows Vista, when I type text in an e-mail message and then try to highlight, the text disappears.

    I HAVE WINDOWS VISTA. WHEN I TYPE THE TEXT ON THE E-MAILS AND TRY AGAIN AND HIGHLIGHT THE TEXT DISAPPEARS FROM IT. I'VE BEEN ADVISED THAT PERHAPS THE COLOR IS WHITE (I THINK THAT OUR GIRL CAN ACCIDENTALLY CHANGED SOMETHING SINCE IT IS A NEW PROBLEM)
    I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHANGE THE COLOR. PLEASE CAN YOU HELP. Thank you.

    original title: TEXT DISAPPEARS WHEN I TRY TO highlight THE TEXT

    You can open Notepad and type something.  Press the Insert key, and then try to go back and change what you type and you will see the difference between insert and Overtype.

    I can't help with Firefox, but in IE, you can change the colours via Tools | Internet Options | The colors.  I think Firefox has a similar option, but you need to ask in a forum of Firefox to see the option.  As it happens in the browser, then it is clearly a browser problem and not a problem in Windows mail.

  • Windows 7 laptop. I have problems with my cursor. When I type, it jumps and anywhere else except where I type moves.

    Hello:

    I am pleased to say that I have really only one problem left to solve.  I have a Dell Inspiron N5010 with Windows 7.  I started having this problem immediately about two or three weeks after the purchase of this computer.  I have problems with my cursor.  A Laptop store owner who corrects laptops told me ' you type you're probably hit a key that throws the slider out where you type and be aware of this.  I really don't think that.

    Is that the problem is that whenever I type just arbitrarily the cursor jump to other sections of my screen where I previously typed something.  It's very frustrating.  Can you really fix that because a tech support person told me that "which cannot really be fixed with someone to take control of your computer, or there is a problem with the keyboard".  That's what he says.  "It could be a problem with the keyboard" and he concluded that it might have to be taken in a store or (sent to DELL (and I say no, no, no (Amy Whinehouse)).)  A lot of smiles.

    But in any case this problem can be corrected as any other problem?  I hate it when this cursor jumps around on the screen to the typed sections previously.  It does not have it on my desk.

    Please let me know.

    Hello

    1. the problem occurs with any particular application or all applications?
    2. don't you make changes to the computer before the show?

    Method 1
    The issue may be due to some third-party program conflicts. I suggest you perform the clean boot and check if the problem persists.

    I suggest that you try to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad and check if that helps.

    a. turn on your computer and log in to Windows as usual. Open the "Start" menu and click on the "Control Panel" option.

    b. double-click the icon named "Mouse"... The "Mouse properties" window opens. Go to the tab "device settings". Click on the button "settings". A window titled "Properties" appears.

    c. examine the left panel of the 'Properties' window and expand the option "sensitivity." Click on the option "Sensitivity to touch."

    d. reduce tactile sensitivity in moving the slider to the right, to the label of "heavy touch. Experiment with different levels of sensitivity until find you one suited to your needs.

    e. click the 'OK' button to close the "Properties" window Repeat the operation with the control panel "mouse". Your new touchpad sensitivity settings are now saved.

    Method 3
    I suggest you to update the drivers for the touchpad on the manufacturers Web site.

  • 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!

  • How to fix the text so it is not jumping when you type?

    I have Windows 7 on my Dell laptop.  When I type "anywhere" the characters jump all over the page, I type in.  How can I fix it?

    Hello Michele,

    A fairly common problem for laptops - its caused by the thumb, finger or palm (s) hit the Touchpad when you type. The infallible remedy only is an external mouse with Touchpad disabled. To do this, or just disable the Touchpad, go to control panel, select mouse properties and select the Touchpad tab in the top row of tabs.

    This will open an applet that allows you to select the order of Touchpad buttons, a check box parameter to disable the Touchpad when an external mouse is detected.  If you want faster access to this setting, make sure to display the icon in the system tray is also checked, and you will be able to access this setting in the notification area (bottom right of the task bar, click the arrow to access the Touchpad icon).

    To avoid problems to repeat in the future, make sure that if you go to Device Manager to "RID" the Touchpad you only disable the Touchpad as opposed to uninstall the Touchpad. If you uninstall the Touchpad, the next time you restart your computer, the applet will appear again back in place. You can only disable the Touchpad to get rid of him.

    Let me know if this solves the problem for you.

    Kind regards
