Cursor moves screen

Something happened today and I don't know what I could have done - now when I move the mouse, the entire screen moves up and down and side to side.
I'm using a microsoft 2-button mouse.
Any ideas???

You have activated zooming!
To zoom, hold the control key while you operate the scroll wheel of your mouse - is that the effect you are getting?

  • Moving cursor moves screen around

    I'm sure there's a simple solution to my problem, I'm just not sure what I did to cause it. I am using a Kensington wireless keyboard and mouse with my G5 and when I pressed several of the keys such as Shift/Cntrl/Alt (not sure which combination) while also pressing one of the number keys it caused my screen to enlarge beyond the display area and now when I move the cursor, it moves the window around on the display and it's driving me nuts! Thanks for any advice you can give.

    Turn off Zoom from the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

  • Page is slightly oversized for screen and cursor moves screen

    I have a Macbook, OS X and suddenly the page is a little too big to fit screen and moving the cursor causes page to move within the screen.  I'm not real computer literate, so bear that in mind when responding.  Thanks.

    To prevent this being accidentally activated in the future go to System Preferences>Keyboard>KeyboardShortcuts>Universal Access and uncheck all the boxes.

  • Populating the screen field when the cursor moves to that field

    hi every one,
    I want to populate the screen field(MODULE POOL) When the cursor moves to that field.
    So can any one help me out with this.
    EXAMPLE..
    I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE' (Total Price). When the fields like 'S10_PIECES' (Number of Pieces) will be entered. I want to populate 'S10_TOT_PRICE'  without pressing any button on the screen nor when enter is hit. When the field 'S10_PIECES''  will be entered with some value and the cursor moves to 'S10_TOT_PRICE' . The Total Price field should be populated. Please help me out with this.
    THANKS & REGARDS.
    Mahanta.
    POINTS WILL BE REWARDED.

    Sorry but look at this SAP documentation <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/54/0608162d0711d295520000e8353423/frameset.htm">User Actions on Screens</a>
    Extract :
    <i>User Actions on Screens
    There are various ways in which users can interact with screens.
    Filling Input Fields
    Users can enter values in any input field on the screen, or change the value using the mouse, in the case of radio buttons and checkboxes. The contents are placed in the corresponding screen field. Filling an input field does not normally trigger the PAI event. Exceptions to this are Checkboxes and Radio Buttons with Function Codes and input fields with Drop Down Boxes.</i>
    So, i fear that you cannot "take hand" when user fill a numerical field to perform calculations and update the screen.

  • Mouse moves both cursor AND screen

    This is something new, and it just started a few minutes ago for no reason that I can see. It's simply that when I move my mouse, the whole screen moves. The cursor moves as it should, but the screen moves in the opposite direction from the cursor. I can still manage to operate the computer, but it is much more difficult to do so.

  • My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words.

    My macbook pro is running very slow with some strange mouse and window movements. The trackpad is very unresponsive and when responding the cursor moves on its own and/or very erratically. When on safari the window suddenly zooms in or highlights words and looks them up via dictionary. I currently have a wireless mouse connected and I am still having the same problems.
    I fee like I may have a virus or my laptop is perhaps being accessed remotely. All of the sharing options are unchecked.
    HELP PLEASE
    Very worried!!

    Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
    1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
        b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
         Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
         COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
         after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
         Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
         Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
    4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
    Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

    Clear Safari and the reset the iPad again. Settings>Safari>Clear history and website data. Now reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen.
    I would also reset the router by unplugging it for 30 seconds and then plug it in again.

  • Cursor moves on it's own on my 24" imac

    My cursor moves on it's own. I do not have a trackpad, or Timbuktu (not sure what that is?) I have used apple support on this once all ready. They had me do a restart from the system disk, run Disk Utility, unplug everything wait and then replug, zap the p-ram, dump a preference panel. But none of it fixed the problem. The cursor just shoots off to the side or the top or bottom depending on what it's closer to. I bought a new mouse, and still had the same problem, so I returned it. I upgraded to the latest OS, still have the problem. The problem continues when I'm working in Photoshop and Illustrator, which is really frustrating because it suddenly streaks across the page while I'm painting (in PS) or if I'm working an anchor point in Illustrator it suddenly pulls it off the page.
    Can anybody help me fix this once and for all?
    I really appreciate any and all suggestions.

    Restart the computer, as long as you're at it do a SMC reset:
    SMC RESET
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    • Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    • Release the power button.
    • Attach the computers power cable.
    • Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    • Shut down the computer.
    • Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    • Turn on the computer.
    • Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • In large PDF files my cursor moves around the page at warp speed. It does not seem to make any difference if I slow it down with Sys Prefs. This is not only in preview but also other programs to open PDFs.

    In large PDF files the cursor moves at warp speed with a mind of it's own, I've tried slowing it down in Sys Pref with no luck. On small files cursor action is normal. This happens in Safari, Preview and other programs that use PDF files. Sorry to say this does not seem to be a new problem with 7.# I've had it with prvevious versions of operating system Right now I'm using a Apple wireless mouse and key board. Using the USB keyboard and mouse the same problem does not go away.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Please reconfirm previous SDN claim:  can't preset cursor movement by TAB!

    In this thread here:
    Tab Order Control on Custom Screens
    several SDNers offered the opinion that you can't set order of cursor movement by TAB key thru a screen.  (I am familiar with the SET CURSOR/GET CURSOR trick for controlling cursor movement by ENTER key.)
    Is it really true that you can't preset cursor movement by TAB key ???
    I could do this back in the 1980's and 90's with CICS and Model 204 User Language - seems strange that you can't do the same in ABAP, which is such a rich and robust language.
    Thanks
    djh

    Rich -
    Thank you for making an excellent point, which as usual, hadn't occurred to me.
    Of course, old-timers like me would say that what SAP should do is:
    1) add a TAB-traversal index number to the little box of properties you get in screen painter;
    2) pass the index numbers to SAPGui when the screen is first used;
    3) keep them in buffer and follow them each time the screen is entered.
    But what do us old-timers know? We grew up when there was just a mainframe talking to tubes with only some 3274's in the middle, and those only later ...

  • How do you disable text cursor movement when scrolling horizontally with a tilt wheel or touchpad; or rather, how do you make these horizontal scrolling actions only scroll horizontally and nothing else?

    Frequently when I use a touchpad or tilt wheel mouse to scroll horizontally, the web page does not scroll at all. Instead, the text cursor moves left or right. If the text box is off-screen, the page will jump to it, losing the spot on the page I was reading. This happens way too often given the sensitivity of touchpads and tilt wheel mice.
    I'd like to just disable the cursor movement function of the horizontal scroll. I don't feel that it is useful and it actually hurts my web browsing experience. I do not want to disable horizontal scrolling though; I just want it to always scroll horizontally and do nothing else.

    You would make this a little easier if you posted a link to the page.
    Most of the jump seems to be some extra padding or margin between the tabs  when you rollover, but I am not able to find it.  Is there any other css that is governing this page? I did remove a couple of <p></p> set of tags you had  and it improved the jump, but it is still there.
    If the page is live, run it through the validator http://validator.w3.org/ , fix whatever errors it finds, if you still have the jump, post a link to the page and the issue might get found.

  • CLI Cursor Movement in nconfig / menuconfig

    While attempting to configure a custom kernel using nconfig my keyboard's arrow keys do not move the cursor but insert control characters such as "^[OB". I've tried to use nconfig while SSH'd into a screen session on the PC, while SSH'd into the PC without a screen session, & while directly logged onto the PC. I also tried using menuconfig in the same situations with the same results.
    I've used nconfig before without problem on this PC but have since reinstalled Arch (i686) & so am suspecting a configuration problem somewhere. I have no X server installed, TERM is set to "xterm-color", my locale is "en.US.UTF-8", & cursor movement via the arrow keys works correctly in bash & vim.
    Any ideas on what's wrong?

    EDIT/ Here is PKGBUILD I use - http://paste.pocoo.org/show/376935/
    I also tried to not comment that line.  But as expected, that did not change the behavior of nconfig.  Still did not work...

  • Cursor Movement Problems

    When I try to play certain games my cursor moves like a slow motion snail. I have Windows 7 and most games play fine. Can not seem to find a solution from game suppliers.

    Thanks BDAqua,
    I reached a senior advisor at Apple and we figured out that a program called TaskBoard was causing the problem.  Wish I had him on the phone last night.  45 minutes to not fix it last night versus 5 minutes tonight.  What was happeniong with the screen is not something that OSX could cause so he asked me to look at several programs and found it.  It is so good to have expertise available for customers.  Glad I switched to MAC after 27 years with Microsoft based machines.

  • W500 Issues. Cursor movement, Web page aborts, uncontrolled scrolling, random page loading

    Dear Reader and / or Correspondent,
    I am experiencing issues with my Lenovo laptop computer and my Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. My issues’ are many and they all revolve around the phenomenon of either a ‘floating’ cursor that wanders across the screen; or, ‘jumping’ pages or windows that appear unasked for and uncontrolled.
    The cursor moves across the screen even when it is not controlled by the user. It moves like it had a will of its own. Sometime sit refuses to move at all. But if a enough time is allowed it will resume submitting to the user’s direction. On other occasions, it leaps about the screen as though it had a mind of its own. If left on its own it will wander about the surface of my desktop or inside a lit or activated Window.
    Coincidently, the windows or the ‘screens’ or the ‘pages’ displayed on the LCD panel of my laptop will randomly change their content or size. If I am surfing the Internet the pages or the screens may float or leap to or transition to a prior screen iteration or to a completely new screen or to a web page that I last visited several week prior all of the
    This erratic behavior began after I installed all of the recommended software updates, improvements and security downloads from Microsoft and Lenovo last week. I was acting in response to their instructions to upgrade my software defenses following the release of the STUXNET malware.
    Since this phenomenon began my last week I have been unable to use my Lenovo laptop in a professional and relaxed manner. It is constantly forcing me to correct its random maneuvers and unpredictable behavior. It is a great burden and it is very inconvenient.
    By the way, this unpredictable and troubling behavior occurs when I am composing correspondence, visiting web sites and playing computer games. Just typing a simple email is a challenge because of this wayward behavior. I never know where the cursor will travel to on my laptop’s screen, when it will move and how often it will occur.
    Suffice it for me to say that: “… it’s a real pain in the butt.”
    Can any of you recommend a solution to this problem? Have you ever experienced anything like this issue? Is it a software issue? Or, is it a conflict between two or more software applications? Does the problem occur because a file has been damaged? Is a piece of hardware causing this error? Have any of you experienced a similar set of challenges?
    Coincidentally with this cursor error I have lost the ability to access my email account. My account exists and the email is in the account. But my laptop will not link to the mail servers (Yahoo and ATT.net). My Outlooklink to my email account does not work either.
    My laptop is a LENOVO W500 ThinkPad.
    My operating system is a Microsoft Vista Business 64, Service Pack 2 operating system.
    My laptop is configured as follows:
    CPU: T9400 @ 2.53 MHz Core2 Duo Centrinos
    Video card: ATI FirePro v.5700 with 512 MB
    Memory: DDR3 4GB.
    Mice: HID and IBM ThinkPad Ultranav Trackpoint and Touchpad.
    My antivirus and security software is as follows:
    Antivirus and Internet Security software: AVG v. 11.0
    Malware Defenses: Malwarebytes
    SuperAntiSpyware
    Spybot Search and Destroy
    Spyware Doctor
    Windows Defender
     COuld you please advise me what the possible source or cause of thee issues is ?
    Thank you.

    HI, Ed and ~Bee —
    Ed, a tiny complement — maybe — to ~Bee's successful solution...
    I also use both an Apple Bluetooth and an older cordless LogiTech mouse. I keep them separated — except when I need to use the latter to help "re-connect" my Bluetooth mouse. I've noticed that if I forget and leave them near each other, my cursor begins to "skitter" something awful! Moving the LogiTech mouse a few feet away solves the problem.
    Regards,
    Dean

  • The timeline  and cursor move very jerky (in a continual chattery motion) in Windows 8.1

    in my project the timeline and/or the cursor move very jerky (in a continual chattery motion )  in windows 8.1

    all  this tells me there are real problem with my Premier Element 10

    Littlefeather
    You are running Premiere Elements 10 on Windows 8.1 64 bit. The program works just fine in Windows 8.1 64 bit when run Windows 8.1.
    So do not go altering to another operating system. I know this first hand.
    The immediate factor that needs ruling in or out is your video card/graphics card. Specifically "Does your Windows 8.1 64 bit use
    a NVIDIA GeForce card? If so, that may be your answer. See Announcement at the top of this forum which describe the Premiere
    Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce problem and gives the fix of how to roll back the card's driver version to get Premiere Elements 10
    to work for you.
    Once we are assured that you are not afflicted by Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA GeForce syndrome and also know that your current
    video card/graphics card driver is up to date, then we can move on to seek other factors that may be causing the problem.
    For your convenience, the following is a copy/paste of the Announcement about the issue as it appears at the top of this forum.
    All the links and how tos that you will need are in this announcement.
    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow glitches
    specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this applies to you, then
    the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary to get rid of the problems. The
    typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA
    nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1317675
    Older NVIDIA GeForce drivers can be found
    http://www.nvidia.com/Download/Find.aspx?lang=en-us
    A February 2014 overview of the situation as well as how to use the older NVIDIA GeForce drivers for the driver roll back can be found
    http://atr935.blogspot.com/2014/02/pe10-nvidia-video-card-roll-back.html
    Please do not hesitate to ask if you need clarification on any of this information.
