Typos, the cursor jumps around.
Hello
IM using Dell (Dell Touch Pad) laptop computer with windows operating system - Vista Home Basic.
My problem is that I can't type anything permanently as my cursor jumps towards the left side of the track on top, thus creating the typos or typing. This is the case for all programs of n of application like word, chat IM etc...
Please help me solve this problem.
Thanks & best regards,
Jose
The highest probability is that you don't accidentally touch the TouchPad while you type and who moves the cursor. This happened to me until I bought a laser mouse and disable the Touchpad - then the problem has disappeared. If you don't want a separate mouse, you may need to change the posistion of your hands while you type to avoid the problem.
Check the Dell website with your product key to see if they have new Touchpad drivers available (I just got one recently for my Dell). I can't tell what the options in the menu start / Control Panel / mouse will be after the installation of your new driver because I have a menu controlled by separate mouse, but it may be an option to disable the TouchPad while you are typing - if so, check and see if that helps (it can't hurt to try).
If the above does not work, I suggest that you contact Dell Technical Support: http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/dellcare/contact_technical_support?c=us&l=en&s=dhs& ~ ck = anavml and see if they can offer suggestions or if they know how to disable the touchpad while typing.
I hope this helps.
Good luck!

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.

New laptop yesterday. When you type, the cursor jumps back and letters are placed in the words entered previously?
original title: keyboard probkem
wendyjjll,
Thank you for visiting the Microsoft Answers community forum.Most likely, the problem is due to the sensitivity of your touchpad. Whenever you type, your thumb probably affects the touchpad with the cursor to another location where you type. You can set the sensitivity of your touchpad, or turn off the tapping by going into settings start, Control Panel, mouse and keyboard. If it is not under that, the manufacturer of the laptop most likely installed custom software to control the touchpad. Let us know what kind of cell phone, brand and model, and we will be able to help you.
Thank you

When typing, the cursor jumps around
while I type fast jumps everywhere and I find myself typing the letters in the words previously seized... What do I do to fix this?
Hello
There are some good suggestions in the following thread:
-
I know this question was asked several times before, but the solutions proposed, such as changin the registry does not help. It changes by itself. In the configuration that I have in my boat, the stream of NMEA data is directly injected into the COM port so no driver is necessary. It's a problem easily solved in windows XP, why is it so difficult in W7? There must be a way to permanently disable the plug-and-play driver load. I found this program that works only for Vista, if I understand correctly: http://www.stentec.com/en/download-freeware COM port plug & play blocker. If something similar could be provided by MS for W7, it would be very good...
It turns out that the program at the port of Stentec COM (freeware) http://www.stentec.com/en/download-freeware care & play blocker, also works in W7. I don't know how it works, but it does, and it's good for me! It also works for the virtual serial ports.

Cursor jumps around erratically on dv-7-1245dx
When I use the keyboard on my dv-7-1245dx I can't type a sentence without moving the cursor towards where I was typing the cursor jumps around This happens in documents, e-mail and other activities. It was a problem when I bought my computer with Vista. Now, it's a major problem with Windows 7.
Hello
Jumping cursor problem is one of the common problem especially seen in Windows Vista and Win 7 usually when you type in word or outlook. My previous experiences that I noticed that there is no solution for this problem right. You may need to try different steps, but can not say that we're going to fix it.
First of all, you can try these two steps that have worked for me in the past. If it does not solve the problem, there are other measures that we can try.
- Go to Control Panel ---> mouse---> Options of the pointer , and then uncheck "Hide the pointer during the strike". If this does not work then try turning off the score button if you have a
2. If step above does not work then you may have to download and run this small program called Touchfreeze

Some solutions may include measures directly related to changes in the registry that can cause serious problems if not used correctly. Use the following steps at your own risk

Cursor jumping around while typing of text.
Original title: why you (Microsoft) ignore the fact that the cursor jump around for text entry is a global problem that occurs on several platforms and applications? It is not a problem of mouse and you know it.
UH well?
Hi Ony Parsons,
1. What is the brand and model of your system?
We met this problem and most of the time that this can happen on laptop and when you increase the sensitivity of the touchpad.
You can try to reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad and see if it helps.
Some options may vary depending on the touchpad software you are using.
a. click on "Start" and click on "Control Panel."
b. double-click "mouse". The "Mouse properties" window opens.
c. go to the tab "device settings". Click on "settings".
d. examine the left panel of the 'Properties' window and expand the "sensitivity". Click on "Sensitivity to touch."
e. reduce tactile sensitivity in moving the slider to the right, to the label of "heavy touch. Experiment with different levels of sensitivity until find you one suited to your needs.
f. click "OK" to close the "Properties" window Repeat the operation with the control panel "mouse". Your new touchpad sensitivity settings are now saved.
You can also consult the following article:
Change the settings of the mouse

How can I stop my cursor jumping around while you type
The cursor jumps around while I type. Sometimes what I just typed disappears.
I'll guess that you are using a laptop with a touchpad? If Yes, go to control panel and see if you can adjust the sensitivity of it, because chances are you're grazing while typing.
I hope this helps.
