Toshiba Satellite Vista laptop
Please help me. My cursor goes nuts. I type a line and look back to find that the cursor has jumped to Lord- who-knows-where. It may have jumped back into the typed line or jump onto another cell shown on the page. I am losing my mind. -- Vista newby Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |

The most common reason for this is that you are unconsciously hitting the touchpad as you type. Many laptops have a button or keypress to disable the touchpad while you're typing. Refer to Toshiba's help manual to see where yours is. Malke -- MS-MVP Elephant Boy Computers - Don't Panic! FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ |

FAQ - http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/#FAQ I have seen this problem occur with optical mice setting on a hard, smooth surface while the person keyboarding strikes the keys hard enough to cause small mouse movements. Also in the absence of typing if the surface is reflective, like glass. Check it out. |

Have you updated ALL your drivers yet? Go to Toshiba and install the ones
for your model and I even recommend then going to you video card (chip), sound card, NIC and Wi-Fi card/chip maker's site and get their latest. These later drivers can be difficult to determine if you are not fairly computer literate. Regardless get the latest from Toshiba and they should help. http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/t...su_sc_home.jsp Click Tech Support Center on upper left. "Vista newby" wrote in message ...
