The cursor moves erratically while I'm typing

• The cursor moves erratically even when no mouse connected

  I've had the problem for over a year now, but I never received tour to report. From time to time, my cursor moves erratic around the screen, jumping from position every few seconds. I have a MBP, but often use it plugged on a screen and mouse etc with the lid closed. The problem persists if Setup like that, even when the external mouse is disconnected, or when simply use it as a laptop. I recently wiped the hard drive and reinstalled a clean copy of Mac OS x from zero (no backup), but the problem still persists.

  Any ideas?

  Looks like a hardware problem. How old is this MBP? Sometimes, when they get older, the battery may start to inflate and put pressure on the trackpad.

  cause.

  No one program cannot be used to detect and remove any malware. Added that often easy
  to detect malicious software often comes with a much harder to detect and remove the payload. Then
  its best to be thorough than paying the high price later now too. Check with them to one
  extreme overkill point and then run the cleaning only when you are sure that the system is clean.

• 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

• 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?

• 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

• The mouse cursor moves randomly while typing.

  Hi guys, I was typing in mandarin especially when I use windows live messenger and have no problems with him. Lately about 2 days back, this problem started.  The problem that I am facing is that at random times when I place my mouse to a position where I want to type something, in the races of cursor. By example, if I want to type something in one of my windows live contacts messenger chat box, the cursor blinking indicating the type runs. Then a little box will appear on any where right above the task bar and I start typing in this little box. Next to the box, there will be an arrow which I can click and he said: "complete the chain. I suspect that this must be my language setting I messed up with and have no idea how do to reverse the trend back to normal. Someone has an idea how to fix it?

  Thank you. Any help will be much appreciated.

  The link below shows the small box that appears just above the taskbar

  Hello

  If it is a laptop, please set the sensitivity of the mouse.  This could be the cause of this problem.  In addition, I would consider doing a restore of the system at a time and one hour before this problem occurring.

  -Create an another user account and check if you still experience this issue.

  -Test in Safe Mode

  -SFC / Scannow

  I hope that this information is beneficial.

  Thank you

• The cursor moves at will while I type and live your work I've done. I can trash the model

  Is it possible to reduce the sensitivity of the mouse pad?

  I have a laptop that is still under warentee.  It has been in the repair shop and I contacted HP support twice.  I can't type a full sentence without the cursor to jump to another location and screwing up what I already typed.  I know there is a double click on the mouse pad to turn off, but this is unacceptable, because I have to keep turning to move the slider to a different spot to activate a function then shut off again.  I can be: go back to HP for a real computer, or, let the neighbors dog chew on it for a few days then throw it in the trash?  I have a HP printer that works fine for me, but for the money spent on this computer, I do not think that all other HP products are in my future if this problem is not resolved quickly.

  At this point, there wasn't anyone who seems to understand how to fix it.  The phone Wizard really tried to find a solution, but it probably wasn't something that was covered in her flip chart.

  I had other computers and not one of them was like this...  Maybe I bought a top of the cell line for no!

  It is a Pavilion dv6-6149nr.

  It is run out of warentee July 1st of this year.  I am discusted with it and the lack of help for the problem.  I've set up with this problem for long enough.
