    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

  • When you type the text, be it in Word on the e-mail message, the cursor jumps or segmet of the text disappears

    When entering text, the cursor jumps, causing the text segment to be often lost or misplaced.  Occurs during the preparation of Word file, but also in E-mail mode

    Laptop with a touchscreen, by chance?  Easy to do on a laptop as if tapping is enabled on the touchpad; your hands can easiy brush the touchpad causing the cursor to move and position of entry to change.

  • Equium A200 1 HR - cursor jumps in text unexpectedly every few minutes

    Immediately after the delivery of my Equium last summer, I noticed that the cursor jumped unexpectedly back sometimes. Does not seem to matter if it's a Word text or email. Contacted Toshiba support Northern and got after the answer:

    * According to our phone call I send you hereby the download link. Just click on the link and choose 'run '. Then reboot your PC and try again the function.
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/tpdrv-20070809141725.zip

    Nordic support *.

    But the problems persist. I'm a pretty fast typist, which may explain why more people are not a problem (?). And when I don't need to look at the keys as I type, the risk is, of course, my cursor jumps into my text without my noticing for several sentences... enough frustrating!

    Anyone experienced this? Other solutions?

    OK, I know what the problem is.

    The Synaptics touchpad does not include what is called a palm-control more. They abandoned their driver software. For some reason that I can't quite understand yet.

    I do the same thing as you. I plant away on my keyboard only to realize that the text is inserted to midway up.

    Palm control is basically a delay on the pavement, listening to your finger pressure. It is said to the computer when I type don't let my tap-click my cursor for a half second pad (or something like that). I got it on my other old computer manufacturer and it is very convenient for crash-away-typists like us.

    I learned to type by looking at the keyboard and likes it that way. This worsens the problem more by me not noticing for a long time the cursor jumped.

    Tonight, I am furious and went to Synaptics to know why they passed control of palm of new driver software. They do not treat Joe Public like me and you. Only the big boys.
    In short, we have Toshiba to return to Synaptics and solve this problem. Which brings me here, who found your post.

    The support guy who sent you this file I guess that did not really understand or put it down to a single driver (or other) corruption. We have already installed and reinstall it won't help.
    So I know your problem is the same as mine.

    Now, I went with the extras in the driver. Vista seems to hang bits of software. According to me, it's why the palm-check isn't there anymore. The software throws just an error indicating that you need a Synaptics touchpad to run this. A bit like a serial number of equipment to stop no Synaptics customers using their juicy software.

    I really don't see Synaptics file form of verification of the palm software. But this is only speculation. They can do what they want with their software.

    My best guess is the driver components running in the new Vista like they think that. Who stops at the palm working, check that gives us our little bug.

    I know that vista puts things in the registry at different locations and the additional bits are looking for Synaptics reg - key allow its use. Who are there, but in the wrong place.

    I'll send it to Toshiba Support now and lets hope they can get it fixed.
    I guess that if you went back and said, this does not solve what they would have degenerated until someone figured this out. If this isn't the support guys fault entirely.

    PS My mouse jumped about a dozen times during typing it yourself. The A200 is such a beautiful little machine. This seems a silly thing to mess it up.

  • Cursor jumping around while typing of text.

    Original title: why you (Microsoft) ignore the fact that the cursor jump around for text entry is a global problem that occurs on several platforms and applications?  It is not a problem of mouse and you know it.

    UH well?

    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:

    Change the settings of the mouse

    Hope this information is useful.

  • When typing, the cursor jumps around

    while I type fast jumps everywhere and I find myself typing the letters in the words previously seized... What do I do to fix this?

    Hello

    There are some good suggestions in the following thread:

  • A CURSOR JUMP LETTER!

    When you search the database, I found that my problem has been around for the past 6 years!, but none of the answers seem to solve the problem.
    The problem is only on my laptop, and when I try to send an email (Hotmail) or type anything the cursor moves on the page, usually dating back to a letter already typed, either at the front of the sentence you just typed. I touch type and faster I type, more the cursor jumps all over the page. After I typed and look at the text, it has no meaning at all, and I have to start all over again. If I type really slowly, it may or may not happen. It's happening now and get really frustrating! It took a while to type CRAZY. Help!
    I have not downloaded anything new lately and the problem appeared about 8 months ago.
    Any suggestions please?

    Hi there Cardmaker,

    Thanks for the comments and sorry, I've been so long in a response. I was going on the Microsoft answers forum and today only looked at my 'son' and found your answer, sorry for the delay!

    I have HP Pavillion dv2000 laptop without mouse attachment or software for a mouse.

    As you, I typed for a few years and I believe that hovering too close to the key was my mistake. I lounge in front of the TV and my wrists are released rather than stand in the position ' ", LOL! So, I started to sit down and lift my writsts, who works for me! and like you I can now deal with it in a calm way, but before that he drove me nuts!

    Thanks for the help, it has really helped, as I think to buy a mouse then now, will get a Logitech and use. I also have a connection high speed. I found that it happens to a lot of people too. I'm still waiting for the microsoft forum find a solution... Well!

    Thanks again.

  • 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!
