Guest Keith Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 When I am typing - especially online forms like this one, the cursor will just jump to another place and my characters/texts get inserted wherever it jumped. I am using Windows XP Pro on a Dell Latitude D820 Laptop. I just started having this problem. Any thoughts. Keith
Guest db.·.. > Posted June 28, 2008 Posted June 28, 2008 Re: Cursor jumps all over the page or form when typing sometimes they are highly sensitive and as your typing away, you may be actually making contact with the mousepad. the other possibility is that you are running short on memory 'or' the cpu is in overdrive in the background. but there is also a possibility that there is defective hardware involved too, since it is not uncommon that a china made component become faulty. you might want to double check the homesite and see if there is an updated driver and perhaps simply reinstall it onto your machine. -------------------- you might want to double check your mouse driver interrupt and see if there is another component sharing the interrupt for the mouse. if so, then switch it to a different one. also perhaps set the mouse pad to be less sensitive. as a test you might want to disable it temporarily while typing a document to see if the issue has ceased. keep in mind that most mouse clicks can be substituted by keyboard keys, so use them while testing the computer while the mouse is disabled. also, you might want to disable altogether the mouse pad and use a usb mouse instead. for me i find it very comfortable to attach a usb keyboard as well, thus bypassing the laptop kb and mouse pad altogether. ----------- another test is to go into safemode with networking and see if the issue ceases in that mode as well. msoffice and the internet is made available in the safemode w/networking option. -- db·´¯`·...¸><)))º> "Keith" <Keith@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:31D31149-B7B7-4D97-8E01-98BCB2415A73@microsoft.com... > When I am typing - especially online forms like this one, the cursor will > just jump to another place and my characters/texts get inserted wherever it > jumped. > > I am using Windows XP Pro on a Dell Latitude D820 Laptop.
