IMac Cursor moving to lower right of screen.

iMac 2.8GHz Intel Core i7
Was working ok.  Today, Cursor started moving to lower right portion of screen.  Could not move it out of a 4x3" area without it reverting back to that area.
Currently operating computer in Safe Mode.  Mouse and Cursor are working okay in safe mode.
In normal mode.  Have already tried changing the batteries on the wireless mouse.   Have already tried changing the batteries on the wireless keyboard.
Any ideas as to what is going wrong?

  • Hot Sync Manager (little hot sync icon on lower right of screen - Window's XP

    In order for my hot sync to work when I log in to my computer each morning, I have to go to Start, Programs, Palm, and Hot Sync Manager to have the hot sync work (i.e., turn on the hot sync manager).  If I don't do this each time after turning on my computer, when I try to sync my Palm Z22 with my computer, it says that a connection between the Palm and the computer cannot be found.  Any suggestions for how to make the hot sync manager always appear in the lower right tray of my computer screen (i.e., remain on even after shutting down the night before and logging in the next day) would be appreciated.

  • Caps Lock indicator in lower right of screen

    When I hit Caps Lock, a display pops up in the lower right corner of the screen to notify me of the change.  It looks like this:
    http://i55.tinypic.com/15xez9.png
    How do I stop this from happening?  I've found a bunch of workarounds via Google, and they all either don't work for me or don't apply.

    Looks like you have a wireless (bluetooth) keyboard.
    Easy way (if you don't use Bluetooth)
    Click Start.
    Type MSCONFIG.
    Allow User Account Control? - click Yes.
    Click Startup tab.
    Remove check marks from "Bluetooth Software" and/or "HP Desktop Keyboard".
    Restart computer.
    If you want to only shut down the little graphical presentation and you want to keep the bluetooth icon, use the steps above to prevent "HP Desktop Keyboard" from loading, but do not remove the checkmark next to bluetooth.
    And then prevent the OSD for the bluetooth caps lock indicator by making a minor change in the registry:
    Click Start.
    Type REGEDIT.
    Allow User Account Control? - click Yes.
    To backup your registry (in case soething goes haywire), select Computer, click File menu, click Export, give a name and save.
    After backing up registry, open each of the following registry values (the little folders) in this path:  HKEY_LOCAL_MCHINE_\SOFTWARE\Widcomm\BTConfig\Gene​ral\
    Double-click the value KeyIndication in the list on the right.
    Change the hex value from a one (1) TO A ZERO (0).
    Close the registry editor window and restart your computer. You don't need to save anything - it happens on the fly (scary).

  • Cursor moves to lower right corner every time I move mouse.

    Macro, running 10.6.8. I came back from vacation after not using computer for a week and now this happens. Every time I move the mouse, less than a second later, it moves to lower right corner. Managed to repair permissions, but no good. Restarted with OS disk, repaired disk and permissions. Each time it repairs permissions, there is a long list of items, which seems odd.
    Also zapped pram. And unplugged computer for a while.
    Figured I try to install 10.7 Lion, which was tricky with limited mouse movement. It installed and worked fine for about a few minutes, but same problem occurred.
    Thoughts anyone?

    It sounds like your display is zoomed. Open System Preferences, Universal Access window. You will probable see that "Zoom" is set to "On". You can either turn it off there, or use the hotkey combination cmd-option-8 to toggle Zooming. See there is also a hotkey for zooming in and out. You must have hit the "zoom in" hotkey inadvertently.
    If you click the "Options" button, you see the settings that are causing the window to relocate. At the bottom, you probably have "Continuously with pointer" selected.
    I should mention that 10.4.9 has two odd glitches that cause the display to shift around, these are probably soon-to-be-implemented features in 10.5.

  • Premiere Element 13 The progress bar on the lower right for Indexing has frozen and when asking to open a video file in the organizer, Premiere does not open.

    The above says it all.

    I can't really answer you first question. What has happened is: when I moved an mpg file from my assets to the movie (I have added already a mpg file in the first part of the movie) a message box appears telling me the file is being "indexed" and then this Indexing progress appears in lower right of screen and it processes up to 99% and then freezes. The file appears in the time line, but the frame appears that says "media pending" and then nothing happens. I can go into the Widows media player and the mpg file plays okay, with audio. That is best I can tell you.
    Though I did not say this earlier, when I try to open this mpg file from the Organizer, Premiere does not open.
    My operating system is Windows 7 on a Dell computer with lots of ram and plenty of space on my hard drive.
    Properties of movie file
    These properties are the same as a file I already inserted in the timeline.
    I look forward to your help and thanks..

  • Amodal dialog box: positioning in lower right corner of screen

    I have what seems a quite common requirement, that is to automatically position an amodal dialog box (CL_ABAP_DIALOGBOX_CONTAINER) to the lower right corner of the screen.
    The logical approach to do this would be to read the screen resolution, deduct the size of the box, and pass the result to the TOP and LEFT parameters of the constructor of the container.
    Unfortunately, I haven't found any documentation of what the values for TOP and LEFT (and for WIDTH and HEIGHT, for that matter) really represent. They're not screen pixels, that's for sure.
    To read the screen resolution, I execute the following code:
    DATA:
      lo_consumer       TYPE REF TO cl_gui_props_consumer,
      ls_metric_factors TYPE cntl_metric_factors.
      lo_consumer = cl_gui_props_consumer=>create_consumer( ).
      ls_metric_factors = lo_consumer->get_metric_factors( ).
    In ls_metric_factors-screen-x and ls_metric_factors-screen-y I get back the screen resolution (x = 1280 and y = 994 on a 1280 x 1024 screen, weirdly, but close enough). Got this from another SDN post, BTW - thanks.
    When I manually position my dialog box to the farthest right lower corner, so that the mouse cursor can just about reach it, the GET_LEFT and GET_TOP methods for the dialog box return LEFT = 1453 and TOP = 387. So, obviously, these values have nothing to do with screen pixels.
    What I did, then, was to calculate a factor between the screen pixels and the TOP and LEFT values - a factor which is different for the X and the Y dimensions. I got:
    - (1453 / 1280) = 1.135 for the x dimension
    - (387 / 994) = 0.389 for the y dimension.
    With these factors, I calculate the initial position of the box as follows:
    l_box_pos_x = ( ls_metric_factors-screen-x * lc_factor_x ) - lc_box_width.
    l_box_pos_y = ( ls_metric_factors-screen-y * lc_factor_y ) - lc_box_height.
    This seems to work fine, at least on my system and my front-end PC, with all supported resolutions from 800 x 600 up to 1280 x 1024.
    It just leaves the question open: Does anybody know what the unit of measure for the sizing and positioning parameters of controls is? Why a box with a width and a height of 100 [whatevers] each is not square, but rectangular?
    And finally: does somebody have a more intelligent way to do this?
    Thanks, regards & stuff
    Rainer

    Hi Rainer,
    While creating the dialogbox container object, just set metric property to '1' (for Pixels) and then while setting TOP and LEFT you can provide pixels.
    For example,
        CREATE OBJECT REF_DIALOGBOX_CONTAINER
            EXPORTING
                WIDTH = 100
                HEIGHT = 100
                TOP = 638
                LEFT = 924
                CAPTION = 'hello world'
    <b>            metric = 1.</b>
    Then your calculation simply becomes,
    l_box_pos_x = ls_metric_factors-screen-x - lc_box_width.
    l_box_pos_y = ls_metric_factors-screen-y - lc_box_height.
    <b>NOTE: Now you will see that your dialog box is a SQUARE!!</b>
    Hope this helps..

  • How to create a popup notification in lower right corner of screen

    Hi
    I am fairly new to GUI building in Java. I am using Netbeans 5.0 and currently developing a desktop application. I wanted to display informational messages from the application to come up in lower right corner of screen - similar to when in MSN or Yahoo messenger if new person signs in. Similar pop-up is also found in Norton when it finishes live update.
    Currently I am using JOptionPane.showMessageDialog to do this, but it would be more appealing with messages showing on the side without interrupting the application user.
    Can someone point me to what I should look at to achieve this? Any sample code would be great help.
    Thanks

    Use JFrame from javax.swing package. JOptionPane is a built-in dialog that is located at the center of its parent component. With JFrame u can specify the position of your GUI. Try to read the Sun's java tutorial on Creating GUI with Swing: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/index.html

    Hello mate,
    It's just the hotkey feature that means your capslock is on. Just press the capslock key to turn it off and it will go away.
    Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information on it.

  • HT201412 my lower right screen of iphone 4 is not functioning proper . I have to press hard to make it go. and my letter "o" it not functions while typin a message. please help

    My lower right screen touch
    of iphone 4 is not functioning proper . I have to press hard to make it go. and my letter "o" it not functions while typin a message. please help

    There is a possibility that your digitizer has malfunctioned. I had a similar problem on my iphone 3gs whereas the lower left part of my screen didnt respond to touch at all. Take your phone to an Apple store and have them fix it for you. I fixed my iphone 3gs' digitizer by replacing it myself because my phone was out of warranty, and there arent any Apple stores nearby. But you should definitely take your phone to Apple store and let them fix it for you, because in order to replace digitizer on iphone 4, you really need to be skillful when it comes to phone repairs,and attemting any repairs yourself voids your warranty. Hope I helped. Cheers mate

  • HT5362 How to move the banners from the upper right corner to the low right corner of the screen on Mac (Mavericks)?

    How to move the banners from the upper right corner to the low right corner of the screen on Mac (Mavericks)?
    Sometimes, when I am about to click something in the upper right corner, the banners stand in the way. It is very annoying.
    However, I still need them and it is not an option to completely turn off notifications.
    Has anybody faced the same problem?

    Yeah, i've been playing around a bit with Notifications, and not being able to move there location is very annoying. The default location  normally means it is covering one or more tabs in Safari (or any tabbed application for that matter). Might have to try Growl again.

  • TS3899 iphone 4 mail --blank screen like it's stuck.  i can see the "pad/pencil" in the lower right screen to start a new email, but that's all.  any ideas? thanks!

    on my iPhone 4, I can't get mail.  THere is a blank screen, like it's stuck.  I can see the "pad/pencil" in the lower right corner to start a new message, but that's it.
    Any ideas?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
    Try deleting and re-adding the account to the Phone.

  • Lower right resize spot has moved to the bottom left.

    The diagonal bars for re-sizing the window have moved from the lower right over next to the Unread and Total Message counts. That means I can see nothing on the lower bar showing me what is happening such as compacting, getting messages, etc. I have not found any way to get it back over. I am on 24.4.0.
    Anyone else have this situation and find a way to correct it?
