When you tap on my new laptop, the cursor jumps around and letters are places in the words entered previously.

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

    Hello

    I use Lightroom 5.7.1 on a 'Late 2012 iMac' with Yosemite OS X.

    I installed Yosemite first and then Lightroom 5.

    After that I encountered the first problem (no preview images shown the import module when you try to import new images, the central part of the screen remains black, now shaded not extracted, nothing, no possible to import at all), I tried all possible changes to checkboxes and preference settings.

    After reading dozens of Internet Forum articles on very similar problems seem to many other users, I even deleted all preference setting files in the OS X Finder (a recommendation that has been said to succeed), however, the problem remains.

    Also, I completely deleted the software entirely from my iMac (including all the system and setting files), downloaded the latest version (5.7.1) Adobe, rebooted the system, installed new Lightroom, even restarted again, WITHOUT SUCCESS.

    What could I do? As I can't work at all with Lightroom, I would be very happy to get any help on this issue.

    Best regards

  • 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.

    Do you have other accounts of users on this PC?  If you install this update from the main account?

    You should get the number of the update of the updated history list and then download the file here: Microsoft downloads.
    If sure that nothing else is running, and then install the update manually.  Give it a try and let us know the results.
