Re: Cursor is jumping to abnormal positions.

Hello Elmo!
May I know the procedure to reduce the vibrations on the touch pad? Is
there any way by which one can manipulate the vibrations through the control
panel?

Hello curt! I am using a laptop that was bought recently coompaq

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.

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.

The typing is affecting the touchpad. That is to say, the vibration
causes the touchpad to think you are tapping somewhere on the touchpad.
See if you can lower the sensitivity, or turn off the ability to tap on
the touchpad to select.
