the cursor moves around, cannot easily place

original title: after I spend my lap - top, the slider skates autour, & I have a hard time putting it where I want. Why is this happen, and can it be corrected?

What can be done to correct this problem & what are the causes? Thank you

·       You are using a laptop with a touchscreen?  Chances are good that you accidentally touch the touchpad while typing or moving the laptop and that moves the cursor.  Go to start / Control Panel / mouse and see if there are controls for adjusting the sensitivity of the touchpad or to disable the touchpad while typing.  Go to the manufacturer website and download the latest device drivers, firmware and software for your keyboard and your mouse (if you also have a mouse - you may need to go manufacturer of mouse for these drivers, if she did not come with the system).  New updates can offer options that did not exist before like the ones I mentioned.

This happened to me also and I bought a separate mouse and disabled the touchpad and the problem disappeared - but he had me past for awhile until I finally figured it out by typing differently (with my hands up higher so the Palms do not touch and had no problem).  Even if this isn't the problem, update the drivers, firmware or software can solve the problem on its own.

If none of the works above, we will need either to run a complete troubleshooting procedures (post back and I'll meet with them) or the touchpad or mouse is defective and must be replaced.  You can discuss these last with the computer manufacturer when you talk to them (if you talk to them).

I hope this helps.  If you have any questions along the way, come back and I'll do my best to answer.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 Series - the cursor moves around

    Dear Forum,

    I have a problem with my "slider-stick" on the key board. He wanders without control.
    In the case of this, normal work with my mobile phone is not possible.

    Is it possible to disable this stick of direction (or what is the correct word for that?).

    I took a glance at my material properties, but there are so many entries (plan) and I'm not sure, which one could be responsible for this.

    Another possibility: you KNOW this problem one have a solution? Yes Yes Yes.

    Help, please!

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    This stick is called a pointing device. It s very sensitive.
    In addition, you can calibrate this device in the properties of the mouse.
    Yes, you right, there are many parameters. But if you press F1 function help occurs.
    You will find a decryption on these functions. You can also consult the user manual.

  • Screen is scrolling down repeatedly and the cursor moves on its own.

    The cursor is rolling along of type I.m

    You do not give much information about what is really happening, but the first two points to check are the mouse and the keyboard, before looking for other hardware or software problems.

    If you have another mouse and keyboard available, you can try reverse the two and restart the computer to see if the problem persists.  If not a little more information would be needed before I could give advice on the best way to solve the problem.

    You're talking about the screen, scroll down and the cursor moving without the mouse - these are two separate actions.

    He is not anywhere on the screen do scroll down unless you have a running program - this scrolling happens with all programs that could scroll, or simply with a certain program?

    The cursor moves randomly or according to a specific orientation?  The cursor move around all the time or only in certain programs?

    These problems occur all the time, or only when you do something, like click with the mouse or use the scroll wheel?

  • 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.

  • The cursor moves in the opposite direction

    Original title: "slider issue"

    about 40% of the time after the start of my laptop, the cursor moves in the opposite direction. If I restart, it usually solves the problem, but sometimes I have to restart 2-3 times... I only use the touchpad and doesn't it have never get tired with a mouse... ideas?

    Cheers, fileeep!

    Tell me everything said on adapter #3 and adapter #6 - What are they, what error messages they say exactly?  These devices work, or if you have problems with them (one of them is the mouse)?  Error 31 means he cannot load device drivers which means that there is something wrong with the drivers or the device is not compatible with this version of Vista or another component on your system (very hard to tell from a distance).  You should always download and install the new drivers, firmware and for two devices having problems (not just drivers - it may be more necessary) just to be sure, that you are not corrupt.  We need to solve the problems with these devices, because I suspect that it is at the origin of this problem.

    If this does not work, we will need to make a complete diagnosis of the entire system.

    Good luck!

    P.S. Please do the test with the mouse - that will tell us a lot.

  • Lenovo s g80 touchpad does not (far left, to be more precise on the thick part of 5 cm), the cursor moves sometimes

    A part of the my s g80 lenovo touchpad does not (far left, to be more precise on the thick part of 5 cm), the cursor moves sometimes, bought this tour only 2 weeks before. I use especially the usb mouse, so never experienced this problem before, I do not know if it is still there since I bought. I contacted lenovo saying this problem, they asked to reinstall the driver for the touchpad from the link given, the problem persists and they claimed his driver with w7 incompatibility and reinstall the operating system? Please say a solution for this problem, I can't change the os now :(

    Lenovo/support forums is the place to ask, its their software/driver.

    Unless of course you make the mistake of using windows update for drivers, if so try to make back the driver, or reinstall on the Lenovo support site

  • When you type in Firefox, the cursor moves to the left while everything is written backwards.

    Recently, whenever I try to type so that Firefox 9.01, the cursor moves to the left while everything is written backwards. I can normally type into a word document to have done with it and cut and pasted in this message. I use Windows XP. I closed Firefox and restarted my computer twice with no success to solve this problem.

    Maybe this recent thread on the issue even helps.

  • Satellite Pro A300 - the cursor moves continuously when connected an external mouse

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A300. When I connect a mouse directly by USB the cursor moves constantly. I also have a mouse attached via a docking station, Toshiba and that works perfectly.

    It doesn't matter what USB port I use or if the laptop is connected to the docking station or not, or if it works on AC or on battery power.

    I thought it was the mouse that was the problem, so I went and bought a new one but the problem persists.

    Actually, while I wrote this post, he has stopped doing that and then started! Very frustrating.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you

  • When you type, the cursor jumps around. How can I correct this situation?

    When you type, the cursor jumps around.  How can I correct this situation?

    It is a very common problem when users become familiar with a new laptop. Either your palm/wrist/cuff/bracelet is touching the touchpad as you type or the touch pad sensitivity is set too high and reacts to strong strikes.
    • Someone to watch you while you type to see if you accidentally touch touchpad of the notebook.
    • Go to the control panel mouse configuration and reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad.
    • Make sure you use the latest version of the driver from the manufacturer of the laptop for the touchpad and update if a new becomes available.
    • Disable the touchpad entirely in favor of a wireless laptop mouse.
    As noted previously, this is a very common problem and users are usually completely unaware they do even when it is pointed out to them.

    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.

  • I have problems with the cursor jumping around when I type, especially on facebook.

    When I type, the cursor jumps around. Most of the time he'll be back in the part I typed before. And for some reason, he does it almost everytime I type in the word you. I have run virus scans and she always does. Any suggestions?

    By chance, your computer is a laptop or netbook?
    I found that when typing, my wrist is sometimes contact with the touchpad causing the cursor to jump on.  Something specific on how you type 'you' might make your wrist touch the touchpad.  If this is your case, there is a program called 'touchfreeze' which disables the touchpad while you type.
