while I think its not a virus as I just got my macbook pro with nothing except windows7 and boomcap 3.2, symantec antivirus and MS office 2007 installed.
Can anyone help on this?
Im using bootcamp updated 3.2

Hi jezrp,
Does the issue occur in other applications such as Notepad? If the issue only occurs in Microsoft Office 2010, you can post a thread on Office 2010 Forums.
However, if the issue occurs in other applications as well, please try the following suggestions to see if the issue can be resolved:
If the issue persists after installing the latest drivers which are compatible with Windows 7, the issue can be caused by the factors including third party software, device driver, touchpad settings, virus or spyware infection.
Please see if the following suggestions can resolve the issue:
-    If the issue occurred after installing certain software or hardware, please remove it to check the result. Or, you can perform System Restore to restore to the date before the issue first occurred.
-    Scan your system using anti-spyware and anti-virus software to confirm the system is clean.
-     Check the touchpad's sensitivity if it is available. You can simply disable the touchpad to test the result. You shall contact the device manufacturer directly to confirm the settings.
-    Use a mouse pad for better mouse performance.
-    Replace the mouse and check the result.

Linda

Why does my cursor jump from photoshop window to the file window im working on

I started experiencing this following problem when I upgraded my macbook pro to Lion OS
When I open PhotoShop CS4, I open a new file and the window appears so I could start working,
but then I move the cursor to the white or "gray and white checker" window and before getting to it,
my cursor jumps or skips almost to the middle of the window. After that the tools no longer work. my brush,
erase, bucket and all tools stay as the arrow cursor!
I need help with this!!!

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Select document window title bar, cursor jumps to other screen

This has been going on for a few days now. I've restarted the Mac, etc
Mac dual G4 1.25 GHz with OSX 10.4.11
This started suddenly. I have had a dual monitor system for months now, and have never had this problem before last week.
If I have documents on my second monitor (to the left of the main screen), when I click on a non-top document, the cursor suddenly jumps (always) to the right hand monitor.
The cursor jumps horizontally to the left edge of the righthand monitor, at the same height position as the document's title bar.
Also, if I have a document on the main (righthand) monitor, which is pushed over to the right edge of the monitor, when I click the gray title bar, the cursor jumps about 200 pixels to the left.
If the documents are within about 1600 pixels of the left edge of the righthand monitor, then selecting them does NOT make the cursor jump.
Pretty weird, huh?
Anyone have any ideas what's going on?
I've never seen this before in 15+ years of using Photoshop.

I see that when you hover the cursor over the title bar of a PS document the full path is displayed briefly in a tool tip.
Not in the most recent versions of Photoshop it's not.
I think the reasoning for not maintaining the path is that a Photoshop document isn't really a single file. It's a document that may have been opened from a file, but there's no guarantee that when you save it's going to be written back to the file.
In fact, PS CS5 offers the ability to maintain separate default directories for File - Open and File - Save As operations.
So the short answer to your question is, I believe, no.

FF was running fine. My cursor jumped out of the text box while i was typing and now no text box on FF will let me type in it? Help!

Basically as above, i opened a new tab to search for an article and as i was typing the cursor jumped out of the box without my realising. I placed the cursor back in the box and started but no characters appeared. I tried the URL bar and again nothing. I opened Chrome and it worked fine so clearly something ive managed to do but i have no idea what!
I didn't use any shift, alt or ctrl buttons accidentally. I have tried shutting FF down and reopening but nothing.
Can anyone help please?
As an addition, why does the cursor jump out like that?
Thanks

Hello darrendons, try disabling graphics '''hardware acceleration'''. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
Thank you.

The cursor "jumps out" of the find box before search line is completed?

I frequently use "find" command..... what happens VERY frequently is that the cursor "Jumps out" of the find command box prior to my finishing the search letters......... Firefox wants to locate ANY item with only a few matching intro letters........... This is VERY annoying.... I do believe that Firefox should be changed so the find search will be executed when "enter" is keyed.........

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes). 
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]] 
 
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.

You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Continuing problem with cursor jumping and more!

I had made a post about cursor jumping and thought I had solved the problem but it's back again with a twist. The cursor still jumps eratically in just about any program and will then settle down for awhile. What is also happening is the flyout tools in adobe photoshop and illustrator don't work properly or at all. I have tried trashing the preferences for illustrator and photoshop, repaired permissions, repaired the disk with disk utility- it says everything is fine. Now...... when I sartup off of my backup hard drive, everything is fine- cursor and all. Are there any ideas as to how I can solve the problem with my internal hard disk? I was told that I may have to wipe the hard disk clean and start over again. Are there any areas you can send me to that will help me do that?

I have this problem even before running this set up updates (not sure what version) so I have a hunch it may not be related to those updates (but not sure)..
.it started whem mine was new a few months ago and I am using a T410s....however I am also running win 7 64bit....
I did re-ren the windows touchpad calibration and it seemed to get better (NOT CONCLUSIVE) as it is intermitant and just started again...it would happen often for spurts then stop (Few days happening often)...when I am in hotel rooms or places with steam it seemed to happen more (not sure if coincidence)...I did run the tablet input calibration in the control panel but not sure if it fixes it...I don't know if it is softare or hardware and it is very anoying and intermitant...exact same things....cursor jumps to right corner and tablet keyboard shows up in left corner even though no touch...and it closes some apps...as that is where the X is....if you find anything PLEASE let me know...thanks

10.4.11 update and cursor jump

This problem occurs in Thunderbird, MS Word, Allgood Solitaire, Firefox, and so on.
I let Software Update download the 10.4.11 patch. I installed, rebooted etc. The cursor jumps when I use the trackpad, and also acts as double-click when I mouse-over a link, or hover over the deck in Solitaire. Action in Word was especially annoying -- cursor would select entire paragraphs or lines as I typed. I have to keep moving the cursor out of the window. The behavior for the window reminds me of focus feature in window under X-windows or Solaris, but here I can't tu
rn it off.so
Cursor behavior improved somewhat after running Disk Utility and fixing permissions.

I think 10.4.11 mistakenly sets Trackpad Gestures/Clicking as a default.
Here's the solution:
System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Trackpad
Under Trackpad Gestures, un-select Clicking.
Good luck!

Yoga 11s touchpad cursor jumps after finger release

Hi,
I have a problem with my yoga 11s touchpad on windows 8.1. Everytime I use the touchpad to point at something and then release the finger, the cursor jumps away. It does not jump far but it is enough to make me have to point again. I have the newest touchpad driver from the lenovo site installed. I tried all settings of this driver but it did not help.
Does anyone have the same problem or a solution for this problem?
Thanks and kindly
Peter

Dear Customer

My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. i've tried different mice, different usb ports

I have a new HP pavillon HPE windows 7. My cursor jumps around while typing and scrolling. I've tried different mice and usb ports.I contacted HP support and was instructed to do several things to the mouse and pointer, nothing helps. I installed in usb port in the rear of the computer that helped for a short time, then it went back to jumping around. So what else can I try. Thanks

I have to admit I am baffled. I understand and have seen the issue happen on laptops before, but for the issue to be happening on a desktop strange. I can even understand a wireless mouse, however yours is wired.
Microsoft has a tool called Mr Fix it. It scans the problem area and attempts to fix whatever is wrong. It's worth the shot in this case to see if it helps resolve the mouse issue.
Tips for solving problems with USB devices
The tool can be downloaded by clicking the button under Step 1. Run the tool and let me know the results.

Mouse Keys cursor jump ability

In Windows when using Mouse Keys there is an option to make the cursor jump to a position quickly by holding down the Ctrl key. Conversely holding down the Shift key makes the cursor move more slowly. Is there an analogous option to that for Mouse Keys on the Mac? I've tried holding down Ctrl on the Mac and no jumping happens.

AFAIK, there is no way to modify the distance moved by the mouse when a Mouse Key is pressed.
Sorry,
Archie

Address book: cursor jumps to Note field

Sometimes when I'm entering data in Address Book, the cursor jumps to the Note field—I discover this when I look at the Address Book window and see that the data I thought I'd just entered in the Address field is in the Note field.
This does not happen consistently, but it sure is frustrating--any suggestions?

I haven't experienced that, but since upgrading to Leopard, my wife and I are experiencing an issue where the cursor tends to jump around while you're working on a card. Well, that's not exactly right.... say I've selected John Smith in the list and his name is somewhere in the middle of the viewable names on the list. Address Book will keep him highlighted but, without warning, spontaneously scroll him down to the bottom of the viewable names in the list. It's distracting and it also resets the cursor from the place where I was editing - as though I was the one who selected his movement.
Other instances have had the address list totally reset, instantly scrolling to the top of the list and highlighting the first name on the list, cutting me off mid-edit of another card. Has anyone else had this issue? I think it may have something to do with address book sharing - it feels like a refresh cycle or something.
