Touchpad arrow jumps everywhere how can I fix?

I have a Compaq laptop with windows 7.  The arrow for the touchpad jumps around and it takes me three times as long to do a job.  How can I make less sensitive or something else to make it more controllable?  Any information would be grateful.  Thank you for your time.

    The ability to rotate the screen image is a characteristic of your video
    card, to help work with instructors who turn to the portrait
    orientation. Almost certainly you accidentally pressed Ctrl-Alt, and
    an arrow key.

    Rotate using these keys.

  • How can I fix error d3d9.dll

    How can I fix the error d3d9.dll

    Hi Antony,

    1. when exactly did you D3D9. DLL error?

    2 have had any changes made to the computer before the show?

    3. what version of Windows is installed on your computer?

    D3d9.dll problems result in one way or another by a problem with Microsoft DirectX.

    The file d3d9.dll and d3d10_1.dll is one of many files in the DirectX software collection. Because DirectX is used by most Windows-based games and graphics programs advancements, d3d9.dll errors usually only appear when you use these programs.

    Important note: Do not download the file d3d9.dll individually any "DLL download site."

    Note: If you have already downloaded the d3d9.dll in these places to download DLL, remove it from everywhere where put you it and continue with the following steps.

    Step 1:

    Restart your computer if you have not yet.

    D3d9.dll error may be a stroke of luck and a simple restart could clear up completely.

    Note: the latest version of DirectX should be installed no matter if you are on Windows 7, Windows Vista or Windows XP. Installation can include DirectX9 and DirectX10 files but they run side-by-side without problem on all these operating systems.

    Step 2:

    Install the update from the link below and check if the problem is resolved.

    End-user Runtime Web install DirectX
    http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=2da43d38-DB71-4C1B-bc6a-9b6652cd92a3&displaylang=en

    Step 3:

    I recommend you perform the clean boot.
     
    Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.
     
    See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:
     
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 
     
    Note: after a repair, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Step 4:

    System File Checker Scan SFC/scannow is a very useful command that you can use in any version of Windows. When the SFC (System File Checker) command is used with the/scannow switch, the tool analyzes all the important files of Windows on your computer and replace if necessary.

    Missing and the corruption of the operating system (like many DLLs) files are probably the main cause of the major problems of Windows. In view of this, plus the fact that the SFC/scannow is completely automatic and very easy to use, the tool should be usually one of your top not troubleshooting.

    If this is not the case, try a system restore:

    Restore point:

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  • I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards. How can I fix it?

    I have windows vista and somehow my picture turned screen 180 degrees backwards.  How can I fix it?

    Hello FrankHeinsohn,

    Hold down the ALT and CTRL together and then press the left/right/up/down to change the orientation. Press the combination of keys followed by the arrow key to the left first to see if this changes the orientation (you may need to press the selected keys a number of times to get the correct orientation. If the left arrow does not try the right, if this does not work try the high and arrow down.

    Usually, this action solved the problem. If she does not see if you have an icon in the Panel that gives, you go to your video card. Your card might be control NVidia or ATI control panel. Check the tabs until you see an option to change the orientation of the office. Yours, because the cat has his way, is currently portrait, change in landscape mode.

    When you log on a Windows Vista-based or a Windows 7 computer by using a temporary profile, you receive the following error message:

    The user profile Service has not logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947215#letmefixit

    Your user profile was not loaded correctly! You have been logged on with a temporary profile.

    If you tried to log on to Windows and received an error message telling you that your user profile is damaged, you can try to fix it. You will need to create a new profile and then copy the files from the existing to the new profile. You must have at least three user accounts on the computer to perform these operations, including the new account that you created.
