Why jumps to cursor in other parts of the screen or work every time that I am seized of text?

This intermittent problem occurs alone whenever I tap on the text boxes on applications like Facebook, browser forms, (it just happened while I'm typing this).  It's annoying because whenever that happens, I have to search where the cursor is and delete typos that followed (keys typed in the wrong place).  I am a PC technician, but I can't understand what is the cause.

My laptop is a dv6 - 6167cl Pavilion Entertainment PC, Windows 7 Professional.  I'm regularly using a Logitech M325 wireless mouse.

I would appreciate any help/info on this issue.

Thank you.

Hello aplushp1,

Have you tried to update the Synaptics driver? There is a thread here http://goo.gl/6c7f7 which gives steps on how to do (I'm not sure if you have 32 or 64 bits or drivers would connect)

In addition, it never hurts to update the BIOS. Have a look here http://goo.gl/55hSe for instructions

I found a thread on the forums of Windows 7 for this problem too many http://goo.gl/JfNaK who can help if the two things above don't.

Please let me know if this helps solve your problem.

  • Why paint Pixelation my picture every time that I open it?

    Whenever I have use paint, it will be Pixelize my photo. If I make changes to my image and save it so the next time I open it with of painting the parts of the worst pixelated image every time.

    I use Windows XP - don't know if it matters, I'm just using the paint program that comes with it.

    For example, I have a black and white drawing of a boy on the one hand and the fruits of the other side. When I opened the image the 1st time that I noticed it wasn't quite as sharp I want so I spent a few hours there cleaning so that I can use the fill tool and make a nice clean fill. I filled the boy and saved the image to finish later. When I opened the image later it was all pixelly yet, and the boy was more crispy there was no way I could just use the fill tool again and change the color of her clothes without all over again.

    Help, please. Thank you

    the dimensions are 702 x 914

    ======================================
    On the one hand... 702 x 914 is a very low resolution image and
    I'm guessing it's a JPEG which is a lossy format. Whenever
    you edit and save a JPEG again he will lose resolution.

    If you had a higher resolution file to work with you can have
    a better result... also it can be useful if you convert the JPEG format for a
    lossless format such as TIFF or PNG before you modify and re-save it.

    Hi, while writing an email online using Firefox 3.6.3, I was using one of the "CTRL + left arrow or right" to move the cursor on the text. I must have pressed some other key because the screen has become huge - and I can't scroll vertically or horizontally, which makes the pages of Mail of Hotmail impossible. I have connected since using the Explorer MSFT and it works very well. This problem occurs only on the page of Mail of Hotmail Live not on the home page or other.
    Could you please let me know if there is a problem with Firefox, or if you have any advice on how to restore the appearance of Hotmail in Firefox?

    Hello

    Thanks for asking!

    This is because the network discovery is turned on.

    If you want, I suggest try tuning off the COAST of the discovery of the network and check if it helps.

    Enable or disable network discovery

    I tried several times using IE, Chrome and Firefox browsers (win) to download the files for Indesign CS6 - all of these attempts have failed to extract the files. Other parts of the plant extract successfully, so I don't think that's my machine or OS (Win 7 Pro). I have been fighting for three days and am losing patience fast. Advice or assistance will be appreciated.

  • XPS 9000 froze and restart does not start - get the cursor flashing, top left of the screen

    System was working normally and after some time froze - no mouse movement, clock does not move, etc.

    Did a stop down with the power button (hold down 10 sec +) to stop.

    On switching on, does not pass through the boot sequence.  F2 does nothing and the only sigh of 'life' is a blinking cursor, upper left corner of the screen.  Tried to close - turn several times with the same result.

    I suspect a motherboard problem because there is no start. Don't know any other tricks to try to resuscitate the box.

    Does anyone have experience/solution for this type of problem?

    WGR,

    As there is no "beeps", I guess as a failed motherboard.

    Try the following, if you are comfortable working around computers:

    Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.

    Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 24-pin motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, plug in the power cord and the power of the system, if food and case fans and disk hard drive performance then the power supply should be good.

    Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

    Excerpt from power supply, again, unplug the power cord, hold the power button again for 15/20 seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 24 pin to the motherboard.
    Remove all the computer PCI cards, remove the video card [as appropriate], disconnect all devices, except the monitor, mouse and keyboard and unplug cable power & data of all readers.
       
    Reconnect the power cord and power the system on, see if you get something different from the LED on the power button, or any 'beeps '.

    No difference, remove the system memory and try again.

    Still shows no signs of life while looking at a motherboard replacement & maybe a processor.

    Note: The good news is, processors lack rarely, being the only method I know to check a processor, install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

    Unfortunately the Dell OEM XPS 9000 renovated/new motherboards are not cheap.

  • Firefox crashes almost every time that I try to attach a document. Why?

    I just had a new PC from Dell XPS Dimension w/Win 8.1. She doesn't have Firefox, so I downloaded (version 29.0.1).

    Almost every time that I try to attach a document, for example, a photo or other file, Firefox crashes. The accident occurred when I double-click on the directory or folder that contains the document I want to join. I presented in reports half a dozen incidents in recent days.

    Instead of double-click, I tried everything just clicking once on the button that appears when I OPEN request to attach a document. This reduces the frequency of accidents, but did not eliminate them.

    Accidents that occurred when I was trying to attach a document to an email in yahoo mail. The accidents have also occurred when I was trying to add a photo to an article I wrote for Examiner.co using their publishing tool.

    I just changed from Windows XP. DO Firefox crashed when I tried to do in XP.

    I tried to reproduce the problem in Internet Explorer 11, which came with my PC. I was not able to reproduce the problem with the Explorer.

    What is going on?

    I could not identify a reason for the accident. Now, I try to reproduce your crash on Yahoo for the setting of a document.
    Other users have reported than the update of Java fixed the problem. (reference: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/que.../949408) Please update Java in the current version

    You can also download CCleaner to destroy things that are no longer necessary and can cause problems. Just use the Windows section, do not delete anything since Firefox while CClaner because it can screw with your installation of Firefox.

    EDIT: Thank you to fill out a bug if the steps above do not work
    In following one of your incident reports, you can file a new bug (example: https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/repor.../203cb33a-9193-4586-b7dd-79d0a2140529) scrolling up to the where it says
    Bugzilla | File this bug in Firefox | Core | Plugins | Tools

    Select Firefox. a new window load, you need to create a Bugzilla account to fill out a bug report. Once you have done this, simply fill out the description of the best that you can. Please try to be as detailed as possible. What were you doing in the crash, how many times it happens, etc. because this will help the developers.

  • Updated to firefox9 and now when I use extension of tree style tab the screen goes black, with the exception of the "window of the tab" and the part of the screen behind him

    Update firefox9. Using tree style tab extension. Everything works fine, except that my screen goes black when in 'tab window', with the exception of the window of the tab and the part of the screen behind him. Once out of the tab section everything comes back fine, but it is rather annoying. Checked homepage for the extension and have the updated version, firefox add-on page - it also says that it is compatible. Any ideas on that?

     Am realizing pages will stay on as long as I don't move the mouse,but as soon as I do move it,black goes the screen.
    

    Ok. A installed version 1.4? Manufacturers homepage. This is apparently what caused problems. Get rid of this and installed version 1.3? Since firefox add on the pages. Problems solved...

  • First of a sudded, my firefox browser is not allowing my to click links and open pages, or open anything on the upper part of the screen.

    First of a sudded, my firefox browser is not allowing my to click links and open pages, or open anything on the upper part of the screen. For example, I go to my email and I can't click on the Inbox, send, create folders, mark as unread. It's like this on all websites? Its really annoying I can't do anything because most of the sites have login at the top of the screen and I can't connect to anything.

    This problem may be caused by the Yahoo! toolbar as scopes as well down and covers the top of the browser window, allowing links in this part of the screen not clickable.

    You can keep an eye on this thread:

  • the lower part of the screen has a gray as Monica covering the screen

    How can I fix a problem with my laptop screen?

    The upper part of the monitor is nomal and works very well. But the lower part of the screen has a gray as Monica covering the screen. The two sections are divided by a straight line.

The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite L305D-S5868, I can't afford to buy another laptop. Please someone help!

    Hi CliffordKillen,

    What version of Windows have installed you on the laptop?

    When did you notice this problem? If this is a recent problem, follow the steps in this document to restore your computer to an earlier point.

    Follow these steps in this document to start your computer in Mode safe. Safe mode that will start the Basic programs and drivers required to start Windows. If the screen is back to normal in safe mode, it lets us know that the issue is not the base drivers. We can then pass from the computer in a clean boot State. This will let us know if a software conflict is causing the problem.

    If none of these measures, you can contact Toshiba.
