G780 won't stay in current window

My laptop comes out of the current window - continually.  I can be typing an email, and suddenly it de-selects the window, and typing doesn't result in anything.  Or I can be scrolling through a webpage and suddenl;y the arrow keys have no effect.
It is not the keyboard - you can see that a window is no longer the active window.  It has happened 5 times while typing this.
Laptop has just come back from another repair under warranty, where BIOS was reloaded.  Would have thought that would have solved any problem like this?

hi GeoffC,
It's most likely the sensitivity of the touchpad that's making you jump out of your current Window. It happened to me on a test laptop. After installing the touchpad drive and adjusted the palm check and touch sensitivity, the issue went away.
Can you check the following:
1. Go to Control Panel (large icon view) and click on Mouse. On the Mouse Properties, check if you have an ELAN or  Device Settings Tab and adjust the settings accordingly

2. After adjusting the sensitivity settings, try the touchpad and observe.
Let me know your findings,

    I have the same problem. This problem has shown up and gone away many times over the last couple of years. Its the main reason that I rarely use iTunes.
    Have you found a solution? I'm tired of buying MP3s from iTunes and playing them in Windows Media Player

  • Captivate 5 - Linked Projects - Won't Play in Current Window

    I'm a Captivate 5 user.
    I have a project that has grown large enough for me to begin breaking it into individual project modules.
    After reviewing online help and the forum, I decided to link the modules (vs. use the aggregator).
    After much trial and error, I finally succeeded in linking the first two modules BUT, I am only able to do so by having the second project open in a NEW window. This approach will not be practical for my customers (who would have 8-10 windows open by the end of the program). Besides, I want the transitions between modules to be seamless... and appear as though it's a single program.
    But when I make the change to have the the second project open in the CURRENT window, everything falls apart. When published, the second program does not start and the first program continues to play. I can see the little drop-down box (red arrow below) and I've selected the option CURRENT  but this does not resolve the problem.
    Please help! I feel stuck between a rock and a hard place... I can't continue to build the consolidated program larger (heavy use of video, narration, animation, and graphics)... but I can't go further without having a solution.
    Kind Regards,
    Sara

    With help from Ravi (thanks Ravi), this problem was resolved. Here's the solution:
    Open the published .html file
    Right click on the open .html file
    Select Global Security Settings panel (see #1 below)
    The Global Security Panel appears
    Add appropriate drives to to the box "Always trust files in these locations" (see #2 below)
    In the example below, C and G drives were added.
    Close all explorer windows and restart the publish .html file.

  • Conky won't stay below other windows...

    Hellu!
    I'm currently using conky with a conkyrc from my Ubuntu laptop which works quite well... Problem is, when Compiz is started, Conky suddently wants to stay on top of all other windows. Restarting conky fixes the problem, but I'd rather not restart conky everytime i login to the system... Anyone know how to fix this?
    Also. Is there a way to add conky to compiz' widget-layer and still have it below all other windows? Basically, I want it on the desktop unless i hit a key, which makes it come on top of everything.

  • Printer won't stay connected in Windows 8

    I have Windows 8 Compaq laptop. I also have an HP ENVY 4501 e-All-in-One printer. I have had this problem with my last printer too, but now I am finally tired of it. Every time I close the lid to my laptop or the printer powers off/goes to sleep it disconnects from my laptop. So every time I go to print it tells me the printer is offline even though the printer is on, connected, and sitting right next to me. Then I have to go into the control panel, remove the printer, and re-install it. How can I get it to stay connected to my computer all the time? 
    (By the way, I have already tried leaving the printer on 24/7 and it still disconnects from my computer)
    Please help!
    Thanks

  • Acer S7 392 won't stay connected to Window VPN

    Can anyone give me a suggestion on what to do to get the VPN to stay connected on my Acer S7 392 with Windows 8?  It will work for a few minutes and then disconnect.
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Hi,
    With limited infortmation, it's hard to find the cause, What is the VPN client you're using? Built-in VPN program ot third party VPN client?
    Have you checked the event viewer? Control Panel\Administrator Tool\Event Viewer, then expand to Windows log
    System and Applications and Services\Microsoft\Windows\VPN-Client, see if there're some valuable information recorded.

  • Adobe Reader XI won't stay open in Windows 7; Solutions don't work

    My Adobe reader was working fine under Windows 7 and all of a sudden it stopped working.  It opens, starts opening a file and before it finishes opening the file, it closes. I have unstalled Adobe Reader XI using the Adobe Cleaner Tool provided on the community board website and reinstalled it from the Adobe.com website.  I also went to the eula.exe file and clicked accept which was a suggestion on the community board. Please help

    Other things you could try...
    Update Reader to 11.0.5
    Can you open Adobe Reader by itself?  If so, try disabling Protected Mode [Edit | Preferences | Security (Enhanced)].
    If you cannot open Reader by itself, try to disable Protected Mode in the registry; download, unzip, then run the attached registry script
    It could even be a malware issue; see http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/reader-core-dll-error.html

  • Bug: cursor won't stay in edit window

    (TLDR: Something about the Ajax used to implement Discussions causes the edit windows to lose focus. )
    I'm having this problem using these support communities (discussions.apple.com) with Safari 5.1.7 over OS X 10.6.8.
    I'm typing text (like right now in fact) and I am moving my cursor around with the arrow keys.  Typically I'm at the start of a line.  And then sometimes (well, often but not always) instead of moving up/down, it will LOSE FOCUS - that is, my cursor will no longer be inside the typing box anymore. 
    Suddenly, typing does nothing, and arrow keys make the page scroll up and down or "Browser Back" (navigate to previous web page)* ... which pops up a warning message that I'm about to leave the web page I'm editing text on. 
    It doesn't happen on other web sites AFIAK.
    * who was the genius who came up with THAT shortcut key?  I'm sure it made sense in 1994 when web pages were novel and nobody entered text in them, but now web browsers are app engines, and I bet the majority of all keyboarding is now done in web browsers.

    Quit iPhoto and try deleting the iPhoto preference file. It is found at Home/Library/Preferences and is called com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Move it to the trash, launch iPhoto, and see if you can edit in the info pane. (You'll have to reset your preferences once in iPhoto.)

  • Wireless Bluetooth Speakers (TDK A33s) Won't Stay Paired to Windows 8.1 (Lenovo IdeaPad Y580)

    Hello,
    I recently acquired a pair of Bluetooth speakers (the TDK A33), and am unable to connect it to my PC. The Bluetooth interface sees the speakers, connects with
    them for a few seconds when I try to pair, and then disconnects. The speakers connect to my phone just fine, so it's not the speakers (and TDK tech support hasn't exactly been very helpful). 
    I'm running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo IdeaPad Y580; I tried updating
    my Bluetooth drivers, as a few sites recommended (pulling them from them Lenovo site), but still no dice. I've read a few things that seem to suggest is a
    Windows 8.1 issue. 
    Any advice would be much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    B

    try to check whether you have the latest version

  • Finder won't stay selected if other programs open and can't open new window

    I have just noticed a new problem. If other programs are open, Finder won't stay selected program. If I alt tab to it or click on it in dock, it shows on menu bar for a half second and goes away. If I right click on icon in dock and select open new window, it will not do so. If I select a folder from the desktop, it opens in Finder with no problem and I can move within the Finder at will.
    I have updated all software. I am running the current Macbook Pro 15in. No other problems noted so far.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance

    Hi Sleddaddyfro, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Do you have another account you can log into?
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport in 10.4 & below, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Stuffit AVR has been a big one, if you have that use the Pref Pane to turn it off, but others have been implicated too. Check System Preferences for a Stuffit Pref Pane and disable AVR.

  • I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract.  Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy.  I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s

    I currently have a DROID RAZR M and I'm 1 year into my 2 year contract.  Since the Kitkat update, the phone won't stay charged and it's very buggy.  I know this is not Verizons fault but it's also not mine. I would like to change my phone to an iPhone 5s and keep my same plan but switch to the Edge program. Is this possible? I don't think I should have to pay an early termination fee or anything like that since my phone has become almost unusable. I know under normal circumstances you have to wait 2 yrs to upgrade but due to the update and the poor service I'm now getting I hope Verizon can make an exception. Thank you.

    How recently did you switch?  If it's less than 60 days, then Verizon simply reinstates your previous account.  The fact that you were on the EDGE plan and mailed the devices back, and they apparently are somewhere in the system, could cause complications, and it might just work out that you just go back on the same plan and they set you up with the same devices.  I'm not sure how it will go - but since you are still being billed for the devices... 

  • Have current Firefox on 3 computers. Get no response on all three even though different server involved. Firefox won't stay up long enough to try your fixes.

    "No response" occurs so frequently that Firefox is non-functioning. I have had to resort to using IE & Chrome. UGH! Typically, Firefox won't stay up long enough to try recommended fixes. Any suggestions?

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back soon.

    Hi NicoMan,
    According to your description ,we seem to suffer a performance issue here.
    Have you tried to open the task manager to check the system performance  ? Is there any specific process occupied many system resources ?Will the issue occur only with the specific applications ?
    We can try to restart the Windows Explorer process to have a check.
    If it only occurred with the spefcific two applications ,we can try to end the other application processes manually from the task manager to have a check .
    If this is caused by the specific application ,we may need to look for help from the third party support considering they are all the third party applications .

  • FF4 wont move a tab to a new window. The new window opens fine but the existing tab stays on the current window. What's wrong?

    I just upgraded to firefox 4. I'm using session manager extension.
    I have multiple tabs open in my firefox window and I want to move some tabs to a new window. I followed the support guide which tells how to do this, however, when I drag the tab off the current window, the new window gets opened as it should, but the tab I was trying to move stays in the current window and does not get moved to the new one. Any ideas what the problem is?
