Rear guard jumping cursor while typing

The cursor continues from the beginning of the line or sometimes further, as I type!  It comes from occurring in Word and several other applications that are not Microsoft.  In my view, that it must be something to do with the operating system?  I've been running Vista for about 2 years now, and this is just starting to happen.  Please help, it's crazy, and taking 3 times as long to type something!

Hi Astrochick,

Check the status after the replacement of the mouse.

If you encounter the same problem, try to reinstall the mouse drivers.

Also, insert your OS cd in the DVD drive & run the following command,

SFC/scannow.

  • Help please - move/jump cursor while typing

    I have an Acer ASPIRE 5532 Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and IE9. Whenever I try to type (like now), the cursor will be jump/jump to another area or spot & that's where will my typing entry. I have to watch what I type like a hawk to make sure I type where I should be. I tried troubleshooting - all drivers are updated via Microsoft & the Acer site, have disabled all add-ons/re-permits all the add-ons-then crossed modules one by one, the keyboard navigation is disabled, run anti-virus programs, etc. It's driving me crazy. I'm going to constantly where the cursor has decided to jump, removing my entry typed, place the cursor where it must be & start typing again. I had to perform the operations described in the last sentence of 11 times, in order to type this request for assistance.

    Does anyone have an idea what causes this? Any help will be greatly appreciated!

    Hello

    The most common cause of the behavior that you describe is the Touchpad.

    Because the keyboard is integrated in the housing of the computer laptop, something so simple that the vibration caused by typing can cause the touchpad the cursor or initiate a click, depending on sensitivity settings.

    You must disable the touchpad when typing. Most modern laptops provide an option or a keyboard shortcut to get there.

    The following keyboard shortcuts have been known to disable the touchpad on different systems. Press and hold down the Fn key and then press F3, F4, F6, F7, F9, or F12 to disable the Touchpad.

    Specific instructions, read the instructions for your system or contact the support of laptop manufacturers.

    Computers laptops ACER , to disable or enable the touchpad press and hold down the Fn key and press F6 or F7 . If you are still experiencing a problem, please contact Acer support for assistance.

  • Satellite L450D: erratic cursor while typing

    Hi first post

    I recently took delivery of Sat L450, as part of access to the House for our daughter aged 11.

    My problem is that while typing on or off line, the cursor is erratic.
    He can jump in any other line and if you don't watch it constantly, it screws up what you typed.

    I just searched for drivers and noticed there are two types of drivers of topuchpad, so not sure whether this would solve the problem or that one. (all by typing this message the cursor jumped to previous rows 5 times)

    Thanking you in advance for the help

    Hey,.

    If the Touchpad is too sensitive and even the slightest brush of the hand or sleeve (wrists) causes the laptop thinking that you "click the mouse". This makes the insertion point jump to where ever the cursor is being located. What you need to do is to go into the setup for the Touchpad and disable the mouse click simulation or change the sensitivity of much lower. that is, if you go to control panel, mouse, you should be able to change the sensitivity of the touchpad or disable the function 'click '. Or if you have an attached external mouse then just turn it off. Reduce the sensitivity option low and verify if you are able to work with Word normally.

    Insert a USB mouse and check if you are facing the issue. If it works great, I recommend you contact your pavement tactile manufacturer for additional support.

    Kind regards

  • 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.

  • Behavior strange cursor while typing!

    Does anyone know why my cursor continues to go to previous text parts while I type?  It's really annoying to be hit and suddenly you type in the middle or the end of the preceding words.  Thank you.

    It's a laptop with a touchscreen? Sometimes mine seems to work even if I don't touch not really - I suppose that's static which accumulates during the strike. Often there is a function key that disables the touchpad. When I use mine, the cursor jumps can't.

    Hi mate

    I read on this issue of cursor on the different laptop models (from different manufacturers).
    But in most cases, the users didn't note that the touchpad was accidentally while typing of touchpad.
    You said you checked this hmm but in any case, try to disable the touchpad while typing just for test purposes

    In addition, some have said that the BIOS update can also be useful
    So if the most recent BIOS is available, updated it!
