Mouse pointer jumps
I have a Microsof Wireless Opitcal mouse and without moving it, it
jumps all over the screen. Have tried it with and without a pad and it still happens. Any ideas? TIA Bob |

It may sound like a stupid question, but have you tried changing the
batteries? Sometimes they'll last so long on one set you forget they need changing occasionally ;o) Dale wrote: try moving it closer to the wireless receiver or try a corded mouse i had this problem too " wrote: I have a Microsof Wireless Opitcal mouse and without moving it, it jumps all over the screen.

Anyone got any fix for this problem? I have tried 2 different optical mouses and I've tried a USB mouse and having the same problem. It's a Dell laptop with Vista. -- jinks |

Have you tried a different mouse mat? Some optical mice can become confused
by mouse mats with a picture on them, particularly if they contain a lot of red. "jinks" wrote in message ... Anyone got any fix for this problem? I have tried 2 different optical mouses and I've tried a USB mouse and having the same problem. It's a Dell laptop with Vista. -- jinks |

Mine is plain blue and I have tried different ones. It seems that when I put the mat over the touchpad it works better and doesn't jump arround. Can someone tell me how to disable the touchpad? In the mouse properties in doesn't give me the option to disable it. It has a disable button but will not disable. -- jinks |

You can probably disable the touchpad in the Device Manager (under "Mice and
other pointing devices") if you're sure you're never going to use it. Otherwise you should just be able to disable the tapping feature. There should be a separate tab in the mouse properties for the touchpad. Depending on the manufacturer it may say "Synaptics", "Alps", or just "Touchpad". My Fujitsu just says "Stick" (it doesn't have a touchpad, just a little joystick thing in the middle of the keyboard). In there somewhere should be an option that says "use tap" or something like that. Alternatively there may well be a Taskbar icon for the touchpad, in which case you may be able to find an option on the right-click menu to turn it off. "jinks" wrote in message ...

To Stop Mouse pointer jumps DO THIS: Go to control Panel - select: Mouse - Choose: Pointer Options - then: Uncheck the "Enhance Pointer Precision." This will fix it. My problem was occurring every 10 seconds. Ugh. Now it is gone. -- drtn Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com |
