• Laptop cursor jumps back to the top whenever you press SPACEBAR

  Where I work, we have 6 laptops Toshiba Tecra, a few M3 & some M5.  We have one (an M3) as the cursor jumps at the top of the screen whenever the space bar is pressed, in any program (other non-Microsoft), & no matter how lightly or hard the space bar is pressed.  The machine has been completely recreated several times without any change.  The same image is on all our office & laptops.

• Why keep the cursor jump back to the top

  My cursor continues to spoil and goes right to the top or ignore the lines and words. What is a solution?

  You type on a laptop? In this case, the touchpad is very probably hypersensitive. Some keyboards can register fast typing like the movements of the mouse. :-(

  You can reduce the sensitivity settings in Control Panel, or you can disable the touchpad (temporarily or permanently) and use a mouse instead.

• I have a HP elitebook 2740 and my cursor jumps constantly on the top left corner of the screen. What can I do to fix this?

  There seems to be no reason for my cursor for this. It does every second or sometimes every three seconds. I looked in the control panel to see if there is a way to fix it and I couldn't find anything.

  Just for troubleshooting try to use another generic driver with Device Manager.

• Guard cursor jumping around while I type

  Original title: keyboard

  I type some words and all of a sudden, I noticed that the cursor jumps back and I find myself typing in the middle of my sentence.

  It took me like 5 minutes just for this type. She tends to jump back only (not really before?) and its so annoying.

  Has anyone encountered this situation and what solution did you find?

  Thank you

  Hello.

  Using a laptop?

  In many cases when people feel things like that, it's because they rest their arms on or around the touchpad and touch accidentally while typing. Try typing something and don't forget to keep your arm clear of the touchpad to see if it has an effect any.

• When I scroll a page all of a sudden the page jumps all the way back to the top

  When I scroll a page all of a sudden the page jumps all the way back to the top

  Hey LouiseReed,

  This could be a problem with your keyboard. For example if your House key was stuck or if you accidentally touch while scrolling the page would jump to the top of the screen. If possible, try to connect to another keyboard and test to see if the same thing happens.

  Another possibility is that your mouse has a top button which is on the Home button. While scrolling if you accidentally hit this button, the page jump to the top.

  If the above information doesn't help you find causing jumps, please provide more specific information such as: what do you use to scroll when this happens, the problem is easily reproducible whether the problem occurs randomly, etc.

  Hope that helps.

• Since the update to El Capitan, during the scrolling of the screen guard snapping back to the top of the screen. How can I stop this?

  Since the update to El Capitan, during the scrolling of the screen guard snapping back to the top of the Web page. How can I stop this?

  Please read this message before doing anything.

  This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

  The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

  Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

  Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

  Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

  The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

  Test in safe mode. Same problem?

  After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

• Vista, why my cursor jumps around on the screen without reason?

  Vista, why my cursor jumps around on the screen without reason?

  You are using a laptop with a touchscreen?  Chances are good that you accidentally touch the touchpad while typing, and that moves the cursor.  Go to start / Control Panel / mouse and see if there are controls for adjusting the sensitivity of the touchpad or to disable the touchpad while typing.  Go to the web site of the manufacturer of your and download the latest device drivers, firmware, and software for touchpad you and your mouse (if you also have a mouse - you may have to go the manufacturer of the mouse for these drivers, if she did not come with the system).  New updates can offer options that did not exist before like the ones I mentioned.

  This happened to me also and I bought a separate mouse and disabled the touchpad and the problem disappeared - but he had me past for awhile until I finally figured it out by typing differently (with my hands up higher so the Palms do not touch and had no problem).  Even if this isn't the problem, update the drivers, firmware or software can solve the problem on its own.

  If none of the works above, we will need either to run a complete troubleshooting procedures (post back and I'll meet with them) or the touchpad or mouse is defective and must be replaced.  You can discuss these last with the computer manufacturer when you talk to them (if you talk to them).

  I hope this helps.  If you have any questions along the way, come back and I'll do my best to answer.

  Good luck!

• My Windows Live Mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.

  My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name, but now, when I add a new contact, it is positioned at the top of the list instead being placed in the right place alphabetical.  How to load the list of contacts to organize all contacts, including contacts, in alphabetical order by family name?

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  My direct mail is sorted in alphabetical order by family name,

  It is not clear what you mean by this statement.

  • There is an option in the contacts window in kind (names) of > name -is that what you mean?
  • Or that, when you open / switch to the contacts window, you see a list sorted by last name?
  • Or that when you click on to... or start typing in the to... box in a message composition window, you see a list ('contact selector') sorted by family name?

  Only in contact with an e-mail address will appear in the "Chooser". The list includes names in alphabetical order. For contacts with a first name and a registered name , the list will be sorted based on the preference granted to sort by in the Contacts window. Contacts with multiple email addresses will appear once for each address with the address in brackets after the name.

  Name is a special value built by WLMail contact data fields. It will consist of the first match found during the analysis of the data fields in the following order:

  1. Nickname
  2. First name + last name (in the order specified to sort by in the Contacts window)
  3. First name or last name
  4. Company
  5. E-mail address
  As you start typing in of... box, WLMail will present a list of matching entries in your contacts list. You can start typing username, first name, first name, company, e-mail address to a contact or any significant word in the Notes field for this contact. So, if you type bil, for example, the list that appears will include
  • any person whose nickname starts with Bil, e.g. Billyboy
  • any person whose first name begins with Bil, e.g. of Bilbo Baggins
  • anyone whose first name begins with Bil, for example Jim Bilko
  • everyone whose company name starts with Bil, e.g. Billingsgate Market
  • everyone with an address of e-mail from bil bil or just after a period or the ' @' symbol, for example "the bilbo at hotmail dot com" or "jim to billingsgate dot com" or "jim.bilko at hotmail dot com.
  • all categories whose name contains a word starting with bil

  If this does not solve your problem, please post your question in the forum dedicated to contacts in Windows Live Mail.

• Satellite P300 - cursor jumps back

  Hello

  I have a Satallite P300 - 19 p and when I type after some works the cursur jumps to a place randomly in the text that I write. Is very annoying because I have to look at the screen all the time, I tried to type very slowly to see if I tap on a button by accident, but then it never happens.

  If anyone knows if it is a fault, all other computers that I use if I hit a wrong key, I just get a bad character not the cursor jump to a point prior to writing

  Hello

  I think you touch the keyboard as you type and so the cursor jumps to another post.

  Therefore, you must disable the tapping function in the touchpad driver. After that, you can only use the touchpad for moving the mouse but not for the left clicking (tapping) more.
  Check Control Panel > mouse > advanced settings.

  Here, you can disable this feature.

  When I type a sentence on my Dell Inspiron 1525, the cursor will jump back a few spaces or words and cause spelling mistakes.  This happens with all programs on my computer, as well as on the internet.  Any ideas?

  You can update the drivers for the touchpad.
