The cursor moves randomly when you type the new e-mail message

When I type an e-mail message in Windows Live Mail, the cursor will suddenly be at the beginning of my message, or maybe in the middle of a Word.  I don't know if I'm a touch that I'm not aware of, or if I have a fault with my keyboard.

Hello lobelia 3206,.

Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.

Since you're on a laptop, I suppose that you have a right of trackpad under the keyboard. It may be that you hit the trackpad with your wrist or Palm when you type.

Try to change the sensitivity of the mouse and see if that helps or if you have a setting to disable the trackpad when you type. I have

Click Start, control panel and select slider and change your settings in there...

I don't know where the settings would be for the Compaq Presario but you can always check with the manufacturer to get the correct settings for your laptop.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Marilyn

  • Cursor moves automatically while you type

    Original title: when typing (particularly e-mail), if I stop typing a few moments my cursor rolls over all email.

    The cursor sometimes jumps to the area of topic, the position of the sender of the previous one, in the middle of a sentence, at the end of the email - you see the idea.  Indeed, the cursor jumped just to the 'previous' word at the end of the word "cursor" at the time I was typing.

     

    Hi mimi,

     

    When you type, the cursor automatically goes to different places.

     

    The question may be due to the corrupted drivers.

     

    1 did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    2. What is brand and model computer?

    3. using a laptop or desktop?

    4. using a wireless mouse?

    5. have you ever tried to disconnect and reconnect the mouse?

     

    I suggest you follow the steps mentioned below:

     

    Method 1: update the driver mouse

     

    See the site:

    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

     

    Method 2:

     

    If it is a laptop, you can try to decrease the sensitivity of the touch pad, a desk with an optical mouse to try to keep it on a rough surface or try to reduce the sensitivity of the mouse.

     

    Refer to the section to change how the mouse pointer works in the site:

    Change the settings of the mouse

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/change-mouse-settings

     

    I hope this helps. If the problem persists, let know us and we would be happy to help you.

  • connection box appears when you try to download e-mail messages in Outlook Express

    I also have a BigPond email address.  I always check the emails it in case there is a I don't want to and if so I delete them, and then disconnect, and then close the BigPond homepage.  I'll then in Outlook Express to download e-mail and over the past two months, a log on window appears which shows my email address in the password box there is a cursor followed by points, which is of course my password.  I remove this item and type my password but the cursor goes back to the front of the points and so I can not download my mails, possible of course to send OK.  The box does not appear whenever I go to Outlook Express, is an intermittent problem, but when it occurs is very annoying.  I rang BigPond 3 times and the last time today said is a Microsoft problem.  I got this box appearing a couple of years ago, and somehow, we got rid of him.  BigPond say that I need to go to Microsoft and when I rang it said to go here to go to one of their technicians will cost, I didn't have to go through this time previous I had and got rid of him.  Any help please because it's driving crazy me.

    I suspect that its a BigPond intermittent disruption.  OE normally keeps track of the user name and password if you have set it to do, so if you get invited to do, its usually caused by a server connection problem.  Next time it happens, then since you can connect via webmail from their Web site, then check if you can access their messages from the web.  If so, then its likely a problem with OE, but if you can't get the web access at work is, then its BigPond (because they use the same access method).  Also make sure that you aren't access OE and on the web at the same time, as this would cause a collision and could be the problem.

    If its a question of OE, try to go to file | Identities and setup a new identity.  Make sure you first you have e-mail scan from any product off antivirus (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  Then set up your account with the correct credentials and see if you can download your mail in this identity.  If it works fine, you can import the messages from the old identity (file |) Import | (Messages).

    When I open Windows Live Mail my emails and try to send to comcast.net, the Live Mail freezes up.  If I try to create a new message or reply to an email that I received, a new message then goes white opaque and Windows Live Mail stops.  It just gives me a "Windows Live Mail has stopped working" error message and stops.

    According to Bellsouth, name of the incoming and outgoing server is... mail.bellsouth.net

  • When you type the body of the e-mail, it is invisible

    When you try to type a new e-mail message, I can type in the address, subject, but when I try to type in the body of the email, it is invisible, nothing there, but if I highlight, it appears, but it goes away after it is not highlighted more. I can answer emails ok, just no new type.

    What kind of email service do you use? Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo mail? If none of these, thanks for posting the link to the site where you enter your emails.

    This does not seem normal at all well.

    Alternatively, you can try to disable your addons in the Help menu:


    Help > restart with disabled modules

    Which will restart Firefox with disabled modules. Then connect to your email and try to type again. If the problem has disappeared, trying to figure out what addon is causing the problem by going on Firefox button > Modules or Tools > Add-ons -, by selecting an addon both then choose Activate then click the choice to restart now , when it appears.

    Don't forget to keep logging into your address email to test the typing of the body in the email after each add-on you back on.

    If you find the add-on that caused it, please let us know here so we can warn others. Thank you.
