Windows 7 cursor jump

I bought a Dell Inspiron (updated Vista upgrade to Windows 7) last fall and just start using it.  Will have a major problem with a 'leap' slider that comes spontaneously fits into random locations within a document.  It happens constantly in all programs, for example emails, Word documents.  I don't have this problem with my Dell mini 10 that I just bought (XP), or with my Acer 3 year, takes place also on XP.  I see others have the same problem and I do not understand why Microsoft cannot understand-it is obviously a problem in Vista/Windows 7.  Does anyone have any suggestions?

Windows Update has nothing to with the upgrade of Windows. Try the repost in this forum instead: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7hardware

  • Windows 8 cursor jumps in the existing text and continues to type here rather than the finish line that I am on, anyone else spotted the same thing?

    Just upgraded to Windows 7 to 8, using MS Office Word 2010, worked well on Win 7, but now type text and the cursor suddenly jumps into the existing text and continues typing, rather than the finish line that I'm on.  Thought, I was accidentally touched for touch pad or other keys, so now consciously look for this but can find nothing on my part.  Have experienced it before with a processor OS Linux and Open Source, when the OS has been updated.  Think there may be a loophole to WIN 8.  It also happens when keying in the screens like this, that has happened twice while here. Someone else spotted the same thing?  Or is it just me?

    Also, anyone know how to disable "Open Tap" on the Mouse touchpad of the notebook, its annoying, I could disable in WINDOWS 7 but cannot know how Win8.

    Thank you very much for your help, the setting was not really there, but you gave me the name of the device, so I was able to download the right driver from

    http://www.Synaptics.com/resources/drivers

    above mentioned just in case anyone has the same problem. The site recommend to go with the hardware vendor's website, but ASUS has wrong driver, one of the above works fine.

    Its such a relief to be able to settle this problem - THANK you

    Lets see if it sorts the problem MS Office too.

  • HP TouchSmart 520 (1155) PC-random cursor jumps and selects after update of Windows 8

    Is it possible to turn off (or turn off) the function of sensitivity to touch on computer HP TouchSmart 520 (1155) ABC my wife?     Problem with cursor - jumping my wife has been an extremely frustrating experience for years, now.    We used the extended warranty several times because of it, and even he had sent to hp that finally agreed to replace the touch screen.  We re - install the original Windows 7, but as soon as we gave Microsoft upgrade to 8 to win a few months later, the problem came back.  Then upgrade to win 10 didn't change things at all.

  • Cursor jumps after automatic update of Windows

    I had work Dell for several hours trying to solve my cursor jumping while typing on my less than 1 year Inspiron.  Before everyone wasting my time, my palms are far from my touchpad.

    I looked for a long time and it seems to be the result of an auto-update Vista and it the effects of the PC for many suppliers.

    My Dell is now unusable.  I can work is no longer home to use it and I need to fix.

    Is there a resolution of Microsoft for this bug?  I had to modify this message 4 times during typing because the cursor jumped.

    Hello
     
    Looks like there could be some problems with the drivers.
     
    First of all I suggest you to reduce hardware acceleration and check if the problem occurs.
     
    To reduce the hardware acceleration follow the steps below:
    1. right click on desktop
    2. choose Customize
    3. Select display settings
    4. click on advanced settings
    5. Select the torubleshoot tab, then click on change settings
    6. in the window, you'll have a slider to reduce the cursor and check
     
    Also you can try to uninstall and reinstall the driver of the computer display

    You can also try to restore the computer to the previous working state by restoring the system
    Steps to complete the restore of the system:
    1. close and save documents that you have open.
    2. click on the Start button to open your Start Menu. The Start button looks like this:
    3. when the Start Menu open click the menu option all programs.
    4. click the Start Menu Accessories group once.
    5. click the System Tools Start Menu Group once.
    6. click once on the icon of the system restore. After you click the icon, if a user account control window opens, click on the button continue.
    You will now be on the System Restore screen. From this screen, you can specify the restore point that you want to restore.

  • Cursor jump / stuck scroll Windows 8 for Samsung laptop

    Hi all

    I use a laptop Samsung Windows 8, which is only a year. A few months ago I started having the cursor jumps around every time I tap on MS Word or, say, Google address bar. When I am browsing, the page scrolls in the very last part of the page and I won't be able to scroll up normally for a few seconds.

    I tried to disable my trackpad, using an external mouse and keyboard without result. The issue is still ongoing. I brought it to a repair shop and I was told that my keys are grounded and must be replaced. But if my keyboard grounded, then why is the same question that passes when I use an external keyboard?

    Please help me with this. Really losing my mind already. Thank you!

    I understand the inconvenience caused due to this problem. I will do my best to help you.

  • Cursor jump - is NOT a problem of keyboard!

    Windows 8. My mouse jumps at the beginning of almost all fields of text every few seconds. Note that this is not random jumping - the cursor jumps only at the beginning of the field. I say "almost all" because this forum post is the first I've found where it does not. The problem never happens offline programs, the toolbar or login form fields. Only the fields of text in Firefox. Cannot duplicate in Chrome. I was typing stuff in my word processor and then copy and paste to get anything done on my blog or email. Restarted my computer, and then uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No improvement. I tested and is not remotely to a keyboard problem, such as cursor more jump.

    See what is happening in Firefox Safe Mode.

  • OS sound produce a high-pitched noise (M70-160) + keyboard cursor jumps

    Hello everyone,

    I own a satellite M70-160 for about a year. There are two problems:
    (a) 15 days ago all the sounds of the o/s (for example when windows start/end, wheel etc) no longer works properly and began to produce a high-pitched noise. It's extremely annoying. I downloaded the realtek soundmax which only temporarily solves the problem. Now every time I have reinstall, when sound is shut down it works fine, but then again when I restart the computer it is working properly.
    In addition this problem disappears and appears periodically and it seems that most of the o/s sound time is malfunctioning.

    (b) when I type fast in keyboard cursor jumps into other lines or bar tasks or made the selection of text etc. as there is a kind of shortcut (this problem is not related to the first as it appeared from the beginning).

    I shouldn't forget to mention that I installed almost every new driver (might have missed one or two but it is highly unlikely)

    Thank you very much

    Giorgos

    Hello

    (a) I have the same unit, but so far I didn't notice something like that. If this happens regularly, it makes the not so easy diagnosis. Try to test with different volume levels and also with headphones.
    (b) key combination while typing to disable using FN + F9 touchpad. Maybe you touch touchpad with your hand while typing so fast.

    The last option you can try is updated BIOS. If you want to do this please READ the document how to do this.

  • 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.

    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

    Someone please help with this problem!  Whenever I type my cursor jumps around and I have to keep going back and deleting and retyping.  Help, please

    I have a sony VAIO and this problem is driving me crazy

    Hi Tim,.

    You're using a laptop by chance?  If so, you can solve this problem by taking a quick glance to your touchpad options.  If you use Windows 7, click the Start button, type mouse in the search field and click on enter.  There should be an option to change the settings of the device for the TouchPad.  On many models, Synaptics is the creator of the TouchPad and has a tab of its own in the mouse properties.  If you do not see these settings, you will need to install the drivers for your manufacturers Web site.

    For Dell machines, you can go to the support.dell.com website.  Select your model and you will find the driver in Input Device Drivers.  For Compaq/HP machines, go to support.hp.com, select your model and find the devices, keyboard, mouse and input.

    I would like to turn off the tap option and raise the sensitivity PalmCheck option.   These are the first options I always change when I get a new laptop; Otherwise, I have the same problem.

    Hope this helps,

    Barbara

    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:
