Help with Satellite C655 Cursor jumping

Please help.  When I am typing my cursor will suddenly jump backwards within the sentence.  This happens on facebook chat and within an e-mail.  Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is very common.  Press FN+F9 to disable your touchpad while you type.  The press it again to turn it back on when you are done.

  • Satellite P300: cursor jumps to different positions while typing

    Hi All,
    i have a Satellite P300,
    I am having trouble when i type.
    When i am typing using the keyboard, the first couple of words are ok, but then the words start typing in the wrong place, eg back further into the middle of the sentence i am typing.
    Anybody please help? thanks

    Hi dude
    I had a similar issue.
    While typing the cursor jumped to different positions and I was not able to finish one sentence.
    I though there could be something wrong with the keyboard but finally I have notices that I have touched the touchpad surface accidentally while typing ?.
    I have disabled the touchpad using the Fn+F9 and the issues has gone
    So maybe its the same reason for you

  • Satellite C600 - Cursor jumping all over the screen

    I was just issued the Satellite C600 and I cannot type without my curser jumping all over the screen. I've followed the advice from other threads with no success. "FN+F9" does not disable the touchpad, and there is no touchpad tab under Mouse Properties. In fact, when I search the whole computer for "touchpad" there is no response.
    Please advise!

    Hello
    Why you try to disable the touchpad?
    On Satellite C series there is a BIOS update that will solve this cursor jumping issue. There are already a lot of threads here in forum:

  • HELP with Satellite Series - P305-S8837; displaying blank screen with cursor

    Help! I have a the P305-S8837 laptop in the Toshiba Satellite Series. I have had the laptop for several months now and it's been working fine until now. I was using it this morning (on the internet) and it started freezing up and so I hit Crtl + Alt + delete and selected the option to restart. It restarted and asked which mode I wanted to start it up in (safe mode, safe mode w/networking, etc.) and I selected the normal option. It started out fine - little windows logo came on with the sound and then went into the Welcome Windows Home Vista premium page (that's like bluish greenish) and then afterwards the screen just goes blank with the exception of the mouse cursor. I let it sit for about an hour and there was no change. I have tried pressing the Crtl + Alt + delete and that has had NO affect. So i manually turned it off and then back on using the power button and tried starting it up in Safe mode w/networking and then just safe mode - both are able to get to the welcome screen but after that it's just a blank screen with cursor and it says safe mode and stuff on the border. Crtl + Alt + delete does not work in the safe mode w/networking but in just the regular safe mode it will go to that same screen that is the welcome and ask if I want to lock the computer, change users, start task manager or restart / shut down. I have selected the restart option and nothing happens and then the Crtl + Alt + delete option no longer works. I have tried manually starting the laptop with the battery unattached and just using the AC Adapter and that has had no impact. I have tried just using the laptop's battery only with no AC Adapter and that has had no impact.
    As you can see, I am in desperate need of some assistance! Please tell me what to do!
    Thanks

    Turn the computer on and immediately press and hold the F8 key.
    On the Advanced Boot Options menu, choose Repair Your Computer.
    When you reach the System Recovery Options menu, choose Startup Repair.
    If that doesn't do the trick, go back to the System Recovery Options menu and do a System Restore.
    If that doesn't fix things either, go back to the System Recovery Options menu, choose Command Prompt, and follow the directions here

  • Need help with jdbc and cursor

    Hi all,
    I know I can specify a cursor to be scrollable with
    cs = conn.prepareCall("{call server.procedure(?,?)}",ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_INSENSITIVE,ResultSet.CONCUR_UPDATABLE);
    but my problem is that this cursor is returning 2 oracle cursors and I need to move inside those but I cannot find the way to do it.
    cs.registerOutParameter(2, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
    rs = (ResultSet) cs.getObject(2); //this is the first cursor and is scrollable
    rs1= (ResultSet) rs.getObject(1); //this is one of the cursors inside the cursor and I cannot make it scrollable
    Thanks for the help,
    A.

    well, I didn't really check if the first one was scrollable since I didn't need it to be, but it seems that Oracle does not support scrollable cursors as out parameter of a stored procedure...
    anybody has a workaround?

  • Need help with flash animation and jump to slide

    I have been researching for days on how to build a menu in
    flash 8 that has links to jump to a slide later in the captivate
    lesson.
    The goal:
    I want to have a tab - when clicked on - opens up and shows a
    table of contents. Click on an item and it will jump to that slide.
    Method:
    I used flash 8 to build a tab and pop up menu. Works great.
    But how do I make the buttons or links to jump to slide?
    Is it possible to:
    * - use a roll over image in captivate - pause image and
    click on a button to pop over to the slide - no flash menus...just
    action script to pause and allow clicking.
    * - use a FS Command script from inside the captivate movie
    - java call in button proprieties.
    * - write the menu in flash - use action script to say "on
    release - jump to slide" or "on release - jump to frame" - I have a
    frame counter that I can find the frame number of the slide - but
    how would you get the script to work.
    Please Help -
    Flash not a good friend of mine - so any time I can avoid --
    is great...but it is what it is - i do anything to get it to work.
    Thank you in advance for your help and I really look forward
    to your thoughts.

    Hi
    I didn't understand a few things here.
    1. Are you trying these things using Adobe Presenter or this is just plain Powerpoint you are talking about?
    2. Are you trying to view the output on the Slide show or presenter output
    If you are doing it for PowerPoint slide show, try setting the animations using with previous and after previous
    1. first insert the video. Set it to play automatically
    2. Insert the first text box. Apply animation on it saying "with Previous". This will make the animation play as soon as the video starts. If you want some delay apply some delay for the animation in the animation pane, such that the animation appears when the video has content sound
    3. For the remaining text boxes apply animations as "after Previous". This will make the animations play after the previous animation has completed.
    4. Now all you have to do is applay delay to the animations to adjust them as and how you want
    Hope this is what you wanted to achieve
    Thanks

  • Need some help with all of the jumper settings.

    Wow, this has been some ordeal. I inherited a G4 iMac from a friend, which has been a great deal of trouble to me, particularly with the jumper settings. Anybody like dealing with that? Come on down...
    So here's my situation. The hard drive in the iMac was dead. No big deal I'll just replace it, so I got a drive which I'm SURE is compatible. I plugged it in paying little attention to the jumper settings on it because until the beginning of this ordeal I knew nothing about jumper settings.
    Now this is where it starts making no sense... I booted the computer while holding down the mouse button to eject, then put in a 10.2 OS disc, and then restarted holding C to boot from the install disc. It loaded fine but when I got to the installation step where I pick a drive to install it to, there were NO drives in the menu.
    Maybe it needs to be formatted, right? WRONG. From the install screen I clicked open disc utility, and found the drive there in the list. It recognizes the drive, so why can't I install to it? I tried reformatting the drive as Mac os extended or whatever, and this made no difference.
    This is where the jumpers come into play. I can't find jumper settings anywhere online for the DVD-RW Pioneer DVR-104PC Superdrive, so I've left the jumper on the optical drive alone and tried toying with the jumper settings on the HD instead, but I tried every possible setting and none of them worked to allow the installer to see my hard drive.
    So what do you all think the deal is? If you know what the various jumper positions are for this particular optical drive, by all means let me know so I can toy around some more. Or if you know an alternate solution other than what I've suggested, please share. I've already invested money in a drive, some thermal paste, and Torx screwdrivers for this thing, so I really just want to get it working.... Let me know...

    Hey Michael,
    Here's the link to the WD support site:
    http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?pfaqid=84
    My experience with WDs is that when they need to be "Master single" I use no jumper. That's in most Mac setups including the iMac G4s. Which drove me nutz until I figured that out. All other manufactures I've run into need a jumper across the first pair on the left as you look at it from the back. WD is the odd man out.
    Also if you Google:
    "western digital jumpers" the 2nd response you get is from OWC (macsales.com) and they're telling you to use the slave setting. Don't know about that I've always used no jumpers but I see a lot of hard drives so next time..

  • Help with creating a cursor select form

    Hey guys i need some help, I have a client who would like a menu on her website that allows users to select differnt cursors, I have never done anything like this before hand, Can anyone help out or point me in the direction of a tutorial for this sort of thing, thanks

    Hi,
    as I know, you can change your cursors by system software or/and browser. On the other hand you can use programs "outside" of your DW. I suggest to "Google" for them, as I did, and found for example this:
    http://www.google.de/#hl=de&xhr=t&q=create+cursor&cp=13&pf=p&sclient=psy&site=&source=hp&a q=0&aqi=g2&aql=&oq=create+cursor&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=e8c6fad3e718b799&biw=1280 &bih=785
    or http://www.cursors-4u.com/ and while examining this website my cursor changed immediately.

  • Help New satellite c655-s5136, programs slow, window media player not working, and more

    I just bought this computer in January 2011 and had a lot of problems w/ it. 
    1) At first it wouldn't go on certain webpages. (for example I could get on gmail not yahoo). The help screen said it was the router or there were no issues. I had to look online (on a different computer) and find out I had to turn off all my plug in to get it to work.
    NOW
     I keep getting an RUNDLL error message every time I turn it on. Can someone tell me what that is?
    it says specified module could not be found: C:\user\Tashaun\appdata\local\upifitizoyiziyem.dll
    The internet and all offline programs are running really slow and they keeps freezing or shutting down on their own or won't come up at all
    Windows media player is completely messed up. My downloaded music won't go into the library. I have to make a playlist and put my songs in that. But yesterday I got some error message and half of my songs disappeared. I can't export the songs from the windows player either. I looked online and it all says the player is corrupted due to installation error when upgrading to windows 7. But I never upgraded to windows 7. It came with the computer. I tried some of the solutions anyway but I can’t delete wmdb file because windows said the media center was open, even though I used task manager and shut all programs off
    Should I have Toshiba look at the computer? I don’t know if it’s the computer or the windows 7 software. Except for having to disable plugins, the computer worked fine for a month.
    In addition, had Norton internet security on the computer since day 1. Tried Microsoft fix it program.  And fixcleaner

    With dll names like that, it looks to me like you've been hit by a malware. Doing recovery to out-of-box state is your easy way out on this.

  • Help with building nested cursors

    Hello all,
    In one of our plsql procedures, we return a cursor of cursors that looks like this:
    OPEN main_cursor FOR
      SELECT
        CURSOR (
          SELECT query1
        ) c1,
        CURSOR (
          SELECT query2
        ) c2
      FROM DUAL;Now, we need to add a new condition that changes query1 into either query1a or query1b (depending of the condition). An easy refactor was done to the code as follows:
    IF (some_condition) THEN
      OPEN main_cursor FOR
        SELECT
          CURSOR (
            SELECT query1a
          ) c1,
          CURSOR (
            SELECT query2
          ) c2
        FROM DUAL;
    ELSE
      OPEN main_cursor FOR
        SELECT
          CURSOR (
            SELECT query1b
          ) c1,
          CURSOR (
            SELECT query2
          ) c2
        FROM DUAL;However, as you can see, query2 is duplicated in the if and else clauses. I wasn't able to find a way to avoid this duplication. Any ideas someone?
    Also, note that the difference between query1a and query1b is a table join.
    Thanks in advance,
    wf

    OPEN FOR allows for dynamic SQL where statements are put together by concatenating strings.

  • Satellite C655-S5041 won't boot with new RAM (8GB)

    I recently bought some Ram from Newegg which can be found here. I installed the aforementioned Ram into my laptop following the correct method (unplug, remove battery, etc.) however when I booted my computer up I received a black screen with a blinking cursor that freezes after a few seconds shortly after the manufacturer's page is loaded.
    I know for a fact that the Ram I bought is compatible with my laptop as I'm using one of the 2 sticks at the moment along with the original Ram from my laptop. Here's where I am really having issues though.
    When I have just one stick of Ram I purchased installed without the original stick my computer fails to boot up also regardless of which slot the Rams in. I have tested the sticks I bought, and my computer will boot up with them, just not without the original stick that came with my computer which wouldn't be an issue except that a) there's only 2 slots, and b) my laptop can't have more than 8GB of Ram.
    My BIOS is up to date (Ver1.6) and so long as I have my original stick of Ram installed my computer boots without any issues. Needless to say you can see why I'm in need of some help.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any other specifics regarding my computer or settings feel free to ask and I'll do what I can to find them out.

    Satellite C655-S5047 Specifications

    Is your model is a Satellite C655-S5047, or a Satellite C655D-S5041, as there is no C655-S5041. Toshiba laptops are extremely finicky about the RAM they will accept, regardless of the advertisied compatability of other modules. It is imperative to to be percise about your model number as:
    The only approved replacement RAM modules for a Satellite C655-S5047 are shown on the spec sheet:

  • 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

  • Help with cursor please. . And Syncing Video to Audio.

    Hello, and thanks for reading this. I'm starting with a small project to start learning Premier.
    I've taken about 25 second clips from some songs and mixed them into a 15 minute mix, I would like to incorperate live tour footage of him preforming the song in sync with the songs so that his mouth is moving at the same time and Hand and body movements and such. .
    I'm having a hard time doing this because unlike Adobe Audition when you select a part of the timeline and hit space to play, and then hit space again to pause it and can have the cursor jump back to where it was when you hit play the first time, in Premier when you hit pause it stops where you pause it, and i have to move the timeline, which is very hard to do when I'm zoomed in so far because I need to be presise.
    Is there a better way to do this, or any tips you can provide to help me?
    So far I've added markers to the beginning and end of each song, but it still needs about 3 secs of fine tuning which is proving to be hard when I have to keep zooming out and moving back.
    Thanks so much..

    These are both great help to me, While I would love to continue hearing more tips I do have a question to add which you may know the answer to.
    When using the trim tool   to make a video shorter or longer, because when setting the in and out points i can't make them exact until it's on the timeline, can you shorten or lenghthen it per frame, like when using the alt key to move the video, instead of dragging with the mouse?
    Thanks so much (:
