The mouse cursor is type a NIGHTMARE! Cursor leaves the active window a few times per minute.

My active window becomes disabled while I'm typing and constantly makes me lose keystrokes.  I see that the color of the window that the window is no longer active and sometimes I have to click on the window again to reactivate slider or typing sometimes only signalling it brings back to the window.  It makes typing a nightmare.  I tried many things and nothing seems to work including installation Touchfreeze...  The problem does not occur in safe mode.  It happens whenever I type in any program; I'm if identification of a file, type in Notepad, Word, Chrome, Explorer, Firefox... WHATEVER IT IS. I have:

Windows 7 Home Professional, 64-bit running on a Dell XPS 15, Intel Core I7, 8 GB of Ram, NVidea GEForce-540 750 MB of RAM.
Any help would be appreciated!

Hello

Because the keyboard is integrated in the casing of the laptop, just 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.

Disable or enable the touchpad by using the access key. Dell:

  • The mouse only works in the active window and cannot select drop-down menus (W7)

    Hello

    I can't understand what is the cause. I can only select things in the active window with my mouse, I can't move the window, I can't click on anything whatsoever outside of it.

    ATM by writing this, I can not open another program or select the bar of tasks or do anything outside that window. (unless I use CTRL-ALT-DEL and force to select a new active window with my keyboard)

    Another thing is that everything works within the window, except one thing, menus drop down, I can bring up the menu drop-down but can not select anything on the menu.

    I reinstalled windows to do this same thing. I can't understand why windows doesn't let me choose some things outside my main window, it's that I'm sort of protected mode.

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    -What is laptop or desktop?
    -What is the brand and model of the mouse? Is it wired or wireless mouse?
    -Have you tried plugging the mouse on another computer?
     
    Method 1: I would also say you update the drivers for the mouse on the computer and check if it helps.
    Updated a hardware driver that is not working properly
     
    Method 2: Also, I suggest you use Microsoft Safety scanner to make sure that your computer is free from malware and check if it helps.
    Microsoft safety scanner
    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx
    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again. The Microsoft Safety Scanner is not a replacement for the use of antivirus software that offers continuous protection. For a real-time protection that helps you keep your home or small office PC against viruses, spyware and other malicious software, download Microsoft Security Essentials.
    Method 3: I suggest you try to check with the other mice to make sure that the problem is not with the computer.
     
    If it is a laptop, I suggest you to check if a FN key function is to to do this. As you are facing the issue after reinstalling the operating system, I also suggest you check with the manufacturer of the computer, if there is this key.
     
    Hope this information helps.

    Hello

    • Do you have any disk of Windows XP?
    I'd say contact Microsoft phone support for assistance.
     
    Here is the link:
  • Classic mode by using the Alt + Tab - needs to get the active window

    I'm running Win7 Ultimate mode classic (the aero mode was just too much visual noise) and for years, I used the Alt + Tab to switch between applications. Starting with Vista, the content of the Alt + Tab pop-up window sorts and does not retain the positions she had in XP. Y at - it all the settings that I can change to get the unsorted window XP. With sorting darn, I'm looking for 'the' the window, I want to bring to the fore. I almost always several applications running (10-20) and several windows in each application, so it is not uncommon that I'll have 30-50 windows open when I'm researching a topic and try to create a document or a presentation on the topic.

    Hey jgt,
     
     
    Here is a workaround to get the classic Alt + Tab bar.
     
    1. open the Explorer Windows & a few applications so that you can start using Alt + Tab feature.
    2. press Alt + Tab keys to display the keys Alt + Tab bar.
    3. without releasing the keys, press another Alt key once and release the second ALT.

    Note: Do not release Alt + Tab again.
     
    4. now, press the Tab key to see the classic Alt + Tab bar.
     
    Note: You will need to repeat this procedure each time you want the feature back.
    If you are comfortable with the registry, you can disable the Aero Alt Tab permanently.

    If you are comfortable with the registry, you can disable the Aero Alt Tab permanently.

    Important: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following windows Help article.

    Back up the registry
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/back-up-the-registry

    To get the classic Alt Tab functionality in Windows 7 the Registry Editor:

    1. go to start, type regedit and press ENTER.
    2. go to the location following HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer
    3. in the right pane, create a new DWORD AltTabSettings and set its value to 1.
    4. now, whenever you you press the keys "Alt + Tab" together, he'll show Windows XP style classic screen Switcher "Alt + Tab" rather than the new screen.
    5. to restore the default active Aero Switcher "Alt + Tab" screen, simply delete the DWORD AltTabSettings, created in step 3. Log out and sign in again to take effect.

    Hope that solves your problem.

    Kind regards

  • How can I change the color of the background of the active window in Windows 8 (and the text format/color window)?

    In all versions of windows, we could change the color of the active windows (not just the border, but the color of real background in windows as well as the font type and color).  How can I do this in Windows 8?  The option does not appear in the Customization screen.

    Found the fix. Right-click on the desktop and choose "Customize".  Under my themes, choose the high contrast theme (select all). Once this is done, under the themes is a box that will say 'color' "high contrast". Go in there, and you can now customize Windows background, text, hyperlinks, text disabled, Selected text, window pane, Inactive window tile and button. AKA, I have no need to watch a white background in my active windows, which is nice!

  • Error in the active window

    Hello

    I have a question about the active window in Adobe Muse. In a group of 'virtual' image, in this case called porfolio20.jpg (see screenshot), there are several images/thumbnails with a normal status. However, for the group itself, I get a warning (red circle on the screenshot). Can I just ignore this warning, because the images themselves don't cause any problems?

    Screen Shot 2016-09-27 at 11.11.59.jpg

    Mouse over the icon to see what the error is... the most common is that the asset has been upsized and this error can be ignored because it is caused by sloppy coding

  • Why Firefox closed (when the active window) when I click on firefox on windows taskbar icon.

    If I have several windows open - and click the icon of firefox/tab bar tasks (when it is the active window) - firefox closes. He started this habit 2 days ago.

    Try running Firefox in safe mode.

    If it works in safe mode, this means that one of your Extensions of the add-on causing the problem, requiring everything from disabling and then re-enabling them one by one to isolate the problem.

  • Firefox is no longer new window when I drag the contents of the active window outside the browser.

    After just upgrading to Firefox 9 of Firefox 3.6, I noticed that a certain element is missing. In the old version, I could drag the contents of the tab out of the browser or the active window and it would automatically force this content in its own window again. I found this feature extremely useful, and I can do it no longer. That's happened? There just is no longer supported or is this a bug? If it is not supported, how can I reopen the current window/tab in a window again like before?

    It works if you drag the tab slightly downwards in the browser window?

  • Stop acrobat from becomes the active window during the scan

    Hi all

    I'm sure this has been asked a thousand times, but I couldn't find the answer. When you scan a document, Acrobat becomes the active window after each page is scanned.

    When you scan large documents, I am unable to do any other job. Is there a way to avoid this?

    Best regards

    Yes, Douglas, with Acrobat DC, this problem does not occur when using it on a Mac platform.

  • Bar of the active window, the missing or hidden menu bar

    Today after opening a PDF file, my bar of the window active (top) and the Acrobat menu bar would not display. It is Acrobat 9.5.5. Instead of giving me the normal bar of the active window and the menu bar, it would give a gray buttons Acrobat menu. Whenever I have it back to normal via F9, just not like this. It's extremely frustrating. I can't find any setting in preference to the difficulty of this return to normal for good. Help, please. Thank you.

  • Load files in Photoshop CS5.5, but nothing appears in the area of the active window

    CS5.5 Design Premium (educational license)

    Running on Windows 7 Home Premium

    Lenovo Thinkpad T410 (a very nice laptop)

    I had to factory reset my laptop recently and since the relocation that I couldn't run the photoshop.

    SCREENCAP 1.jpg

    I can open a file and it loads fine, but the area of the active window remains empty. I know that the loaded file, because all job functions, I can always manipulate the image (in case of emergency I blindly resized and adjusted the resolution of an image). And when I take a tab to move around, the ghost shows the full image, but it disappears again when I release the tab.

    SCREENCAP 2.jpg

    I already tried to uninstall and reinstall, that has not changed anything. And before that I wiped my computer it worked fine.

    Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Disabling Silverlight plugin restores the function of the mouse cursor, but disables display Silverlight content. Occurs with the latest versions of Firefox and IE.

    Hi DelgadoFlash,

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    2. the problem persists both 32 and 64 bit browser explore?

    This can happen if you haveWacom Graphire Tablet input connected to the computer.

    You must disable Tablet PC Input Service in the Service Manager and check if the problem persists.

    (a) click Start menu and type services.msc in the search box and press enter

    (b) later in the list of services, locate Tablet PC input service.

    (c) make a right click on it and click Properties, set the Startup Type to disabled and press the Stop button.

    (d) close the services window

    After disabling the service above you won't be able to use the device.

    As a work plug the appliance only when you need to use.

    Rename an executable file calledWISPTIS.exe in the C:\Windows\syswow64 directory to something likeWISPTIS_old.exe.

    WoW64 is synonymous with "Windows on Windows 64-bit", and it contains all the files of 32-bitbinary required for compatibility.

    If the above step works, then you will need to contact Wacom to check if they have released an update on this issue.

    I hope this helps!
