Guest Alexander. Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I am utilizing windows XP with SP2 pack and whenever I type in any program whether in notepad, wordpad or office word, after a few words to around 5-7 words the blinking cursor jump to some abnormal location (often a few words behind the recently typed words and begins its exection causing an abnormal jumbling of words). There is an utter chaos to read a paragraph. Moreover typiThng is very slow correcting the cursor to the normal position (ie) to the right of the last word. This is becoming very annoying and tends to be a nuisance. Any suggestion to the correction of this blemish is welcomed and appreciated.
Guest Curt Christianson Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Re: Cursor is jumping to abnormal positions. Hi Alexander, The first thing that comes to mind with an erratic cursor, is a bad mouse (wired). When mine went, the cursor was all over the screen and even to the extent of clicking open windows, all faster than the eye could even keep track of. In the event of a bad wireless mouse, or low batteries within, I'm afraid I have no experience. -- HTH, Curt Windows Support Center http://www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm "Alexander." <Alexander@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:EDC8AB7E-DF28-43B0-93E3-03065FAF412C@microsoft.com... |I am utilizing windows XP with SP2 pack and whenever I type in any program | whether in notepad, wordpad or office word, after a few words to around 5-7 | words the blinking cursor jump to some abnormal location (often a few words | behind the recently typed words and begins its exection causing an abnormal | jumbling of words).

Guest Alexander. Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Re: Cursor is jumping to abnormal positions. Hello curt! I am using a laptop that was bought recently coompaq presario V6307. I am afraid this has no mouse but a small touch pad. Even as I type, I had to correct the cursor to the normal position about 16 times. You could imagine the hassle I am enduring. There nothing wrong when dragging ar dropping, this occurs only when typing.

Guest Ron Badour Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Re: Cursor is jumping to abnormal positions. The first two things I would try, if you already haven't, would be running full scans with up to date spyware and anti virus programs. Odd behavior is often the result on an infestation. What kind of keyboard (wired, wireless) and have you tried another keyboard? If there is speech recognition software, disable it and see if that has any affect. -- Regards Ron Badour MS MVP 1997 - 2007 "Alexander." <Alexander@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:EDC8AB7E-DF28-43B0-93E3-03065FAF412C@microsoft.com... >I am utilizing windows XP with SP2 pack and whenever I type in any program > whether in notepad, wordpad or office word, after a few words to around > 5-7 > words the blinking cursor jump to some abnormal location (often a few > words > behind the recently typed words and begins its exection causing an > abnormal > jumbling of words).

Guest Alexander. Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 RE: Cursor is jumping to abnormal positions. Hello nass! I am afraid even on default driver this fault appeared. There is no point to roll back as this was installed recently on this computer and it was present bfore entering the net. Therefore virus scan is needless but I did scan my after your advice with no change whatsoever. Moreover, this occurs only when I type on the keyboard. The mouse pointer and dragging and dropping are all normal but is still present. regards, Alexander.

Guest Alexander. Posted August 13, 2007 Posted August 13, 2007 Re: Cursor is jumping to abnormal positions. There is a small switch in front of the touchpad when turned off would glow amber colour indicating the touch pad is off. Once this is off, when you type the cursor do not jump and can be typed on a regular fashion. Thank you once again for the suggeston. I had to try to stop the touch pad which I was not familiar with. It was rather an accident that I found the button. Indeed that solved the problem. I was a bit perplexed when you asked me to reduce the touch pad sensation for I was quite new to this computer. Your silence was althemore dissapointing, Now that you told me you were unaware, the picture became obvious. If you are not aware,please mention it, so that we could search a way out. Once again my sincere gratitude for the propostion you gave me. "Elmo" wrote: > Alexander. wrote: > > Hello!
