    Check with the manufacturer of system support, documentation in line, or forums as there
    probably are shortcut keys that enable and disable the touchpad functions.

    Parameters for TouchPad located in the control panel - mouse (there may be several tabs with)
    Entries of TouchPad) and some have a utility that loads in the Notification area near clock on
    at the bottom right.

    ==========================================

    If necessary: (make sure that you have restarted at least once, if the above did not work)

    Panel of configuration manager devices - mouse and pointing devices - Double click on the touch pad-
    The driver tab - click on Update Driver (which is may not make anything like MS is far behind certifying)
    (drivers), now right CLICK on the touchpad and UNINSTALL.

    Then go to the USB and UNINSTALL ALL controllers except the category itself (all in
    It). RESET

    This will refresh the driver for the TouchPad and battery USB. This does not prevent the touchpad
    of work.

    The similar procedure on XP, Windows 7 and Vista is the same, except that we must
    Clear the specific device if present.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/310575

    Then go to the system manufacturer's website and get the latest touchpad drivers.

    Download - SAVE - go to where you put it-click on - RUN AS ADMIN.

    ==========================================

    This utility also allows to control the TouchPad:

  • I have problems with the cursor jumping around when I type, especially on facebook.

    When I type, the cursor jumps around. Most of the time he'll be back in the part I typed before. And for some reason, he does it almost everytime I type in the word you. I have run virus scans and she always does. Any suggestions?

    By chance, your computer is a laptop or netbook?
    I found that when typing, my wrist is sometimes contact with the touchpad causing the cursor to jump on.  Something specific on how you type 'you' might make your wrist touch the touchpad.  If this is your case, there is a program called 'touchfreeze' which disables the touchpad while you type.

  • When you type, the cursor jumps around. How can I correct this situation?

    When you type, the cursor jumps around.  How can I correct this situation?

    It is a very common problem when users become familiar with a new laptop. Either your palm/wrist/cuff/bracelet is touching the touchpad as you type or the touch pad sensitivity is set too high and reacts to strong strikes.
    • Someone to watch you while you type to see if you accidentally touch touchpad of the notebook.
    • Go to the control panel mouse configuration and reduce the sensitivity of the touchpad.
    • Make sure you use the latest version of the driver from the manufacturer of the laptop for the touchpad and update if a new becomes available.
    • Disable the touchpad entirely in favor of a wireless laptop mouse.
    As noted previously, this is a very common problem and users are usually completely unaware they do even when it is pointed out to them.

    It's a laptop? If so, you are most probably accidentally brushing
    your hand against the touchpad that you type.

    Hello

    1 does happen on all applications?
    2. you are using a desktop computer or a laptop?

    Method 1.
    If you use a laptop try disable the touchpad and check.

    Method 2.
    Step A.
    Check to see if the problem exists in Safe Mode, if the computer works as expected in mode without failure, then we can solve the problem in the clean boot state.

    See the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP

    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Step B.
    You need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.

  • I can barely type a sentence in email or office without the cursor jumps around. It gets worse every day! ... What happens and how can I fix it or stop?

    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.

    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

  • Satellite A100-165; while typing the cursor jumps to the other place

    Hello

    When I write with the keyboard sometimes the cursor jumps to another location.
    Just this moment, he jumped at the entrance of 'topic' of wire.
    It's pretty random where he jumps but very annoying, I'm running a Toshiba satellite a100 165;

    Anyone got any ideas of what this could be?

    Hello

    I had the same problem
    I t has not noticed that I touched the surface of touchpad accidentally while typing.
    This is the reason why the cursor jumped.

    You can disable the touch pad using the FN + F9 key combination

    In addition the BIOS update would also be desirable.

  • 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,

    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.

  • Data NMEA which are received on the serial port, when the system starts causes windows 7 to interpret these data as a serial ballpoint mouse and moves the cursor jumping around.

    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

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.

    1. 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
