It's a laptop? If so, it is often caused by your accidentally
brush your hand against the touchpad while typing.

Disable the touchpad.

  • My laptop Dell Inspiron 1525... When typing, the cursor jumps around & inserts as I type

    Hello

    Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there
    probably are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with)
    Entries of TouchPad) and some have a utility that loads in the Notification area near clock on
    at the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
    The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
    (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
    of work.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we must
    Clear the specific device if present.

  • Satellite Pro 6100: cursor mouse jumps around

    The mouse internal nipple on my laptop does not work, it jumps around in all directions. I tried to replace that with a USB mouse that works fine except that I hit the space bar, then the cursor will jump on the side of the screen.

    It will then continue to scroll on the side of the screen, even if I bring him back. Looked at a lot of forums and it looks like a common fault but not a miracle.

    Help, please

    Hello

    I put t think that it s a common fault. It could just be the keyboard malfunctioned.
    One of my friends has a Tecra, and the cursor of the mouse jumped crazy on the screen.
    It was not possible or very difficult to open all the windows or click on the icons.

    The service provider has changed the entire keyboard and it's a solution.
    Perhaps you will also need a replacement.

    But what happens when allows you to disable the touchpad with FN + F9 function? Make cursor jumps when you use USB mouse?

    1. Disable the touchpad and mouse, like all devices keyboard-inserted (pointer stick and buttons.)  Maybe one of these methods work for you?
      http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=424135
    2. Connect a USB mouse.
    3. Use USB mouse exclusively for a day or two...
    4. Problems still?

    Most of the time this problem is easily explained and tested by something like the above.  A replacement test must cover the touchpad with something thick enough to prevent it being used as you type.  It takes nothing to activate these keys to touch and some people are more likely to do so (as others are actually less likely to do so).  I haven't looked into why - but given their operation, it might have to do with static electricity and tastes.

    You'd be surprised how many times this is neglected.  I know you want to be something simple like the one you've apparently spent much too much money so he can be something that ridiculously simplistic - but...  Try it.  You have nothing to loose (certainly less money you already have)?

  • When you tap on my new laptop, the cursor jumps around and letters are places in the words entered previously.

    New laptop yesterday. When you type, the cursor jumps back and letters are placed in the words entered previously?

    original title: keyboard probkem

    wendyjjll,
    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.

    Most likely, the problem is due to the sensitivity of your touchpad.  Whenever you type, your thumb probably affects the touchpad with the cursor to another location where you type.  You can set the sensitivity of your touchpad, or turn off the tapping by going into settings start, Control Panel, mouse and keyboard.  If it is not under that, the manufacturer of the laptop most likely installed custom software to control the touchpad.  Let us know what kind of cell phone, brand and model, and we will be able to help you.

    Thank you

    Hello

    1. don't you make changes to the computer?

    Method 1.
    Disable the touchpad on your laptop and check. You can also try to use an external mouse and check if the problem persists. Download and install the latest drivers touchpad from the manufacturer's website.

    Method 2.
    Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.
    a. refer to the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    b. you need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.

  • 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.

  • as im typing my cursor with jump back and start writing my previous writing. or starts in the middle and wrote about what ive already written.

    AS IM WRITING A LETTER ETC MY CURSOR WILL GO BACK AND START TYPING ON WHAT I ALREADY TYPED ON. I DON'T NO WHY HE JUMP BACK. PLEASE HELP ME.

    You have a touch pad on your laptop?  Try turning off temporarily as a test to see if the problem stops.  If they stop then it seems likely that the touchpad is very sensitive & you're brushing accidentally part of your hand or an arm against it while typing.

    To temporarily disable a touchpad & alter its sensitivity, go to control panel, mouse - the details of how this element is arranged varies between different PC but a checkbox to disable & the sensitivity adjustment are almost certainly somewhere.  The manual of your PC must also contain details on how to do it.

    I'm not a good typist, but I was taught that typing can be done more quickly & accurately so the palms of the hands are kept so high off the keys that only the tips of the fingers can reach the keys.  A by-product of this would be that nothing is pretty close to brush against the touchpad.

  • Cursor jumping around while typing of text.

    Original title: why you (Microsoft) ignore the fact that the cursor jump around for text entry is a global problem that occurs on several platforms and applications?  It is not a problem of mouse and you know it.

    UH well?

    Hi Ony Parsons,

    1. What is the brand and model of your system?

    We met this problem and most of the time that this can happen on laptop and when you increase the sensitivity of the touchpad.

    You can try to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad and see if it helps.

    Some options may vary depending on the touchpad software you are using.

    a. click on "Start" and click on "Control Panel."

    b. double-click "mouse". The "Mouse properties" window opens.

    c. go to the tab "device settings". Click on "settings".

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

    e. 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.

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

    You can also consult the following article:

    Change the settings of the mouse

    Hope this information is useful.
