Satellite L450D: erratic cursor while typing

Hi first post
I have recently taken delivery of Sat L450, as part of home access for our 11year daughter.
My problem is that while typing either on or off line the cursor is erratic.
It can jump into any other line and if you don't watch it constantly, it will screw up what you have typed.
I just completed a search for drivers and noticed there are two types of topuchpad drivers, so unsure if this would solve the problem or which one. (while typing this post the cursor has jumped back to previous lines 5 times)

Hi
Please disable the touchpad while typing using the FN + F9 key combination.
I had the same issue some years ago and didnt notice that I touched the touchpad surface accidentally while typing!
I disabled touchpad and it was the solution

How do I hide the cursor while typing?

I have it turned on in the Windows mouse settings. It hides in all other programs except Firefox. I have Win7 and Firefox 13.0.1

I have had the same problem despite having Hide Pointer When Typing checked in Mouse Properties. Damn annoying. I thought I finally found a solution with a free utility called "Park Cursor Aside" at http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/parkcursoraside-hide-mouse-cursor-when-typing/.
Works great in Chrome and everywhere else EXCEPT Firefox. How about it Mozilla, are you are giving me another reason to switch over to Chrome? Please fix this. Thank you.

Jumping cursor while typing, how can I stop it?

My cursor keeps jumping around when I type message. Whats wrong with my mac and how can I fix it? Please help!
All the keys are fine and everything else runing good, but whenever I type messages or a long message it just keeps jumping back like one word or two and I keep having to click back where I left off. It usually happens when I push the space bar. I'm not sure what the problem is. Should I just take it to the mac store?

Your keys could be dirty especially if you make it a habit of eating & drinking while using your computer. A can of compressed air or a brushed vacuum hose will get the dirt out from under the keys.

Satellite A300: missing letters while typing fast & noisy fan

Hi
I hope someone might be able to help me.
I have had this laptop for nearly a year and slowly this is driving me mad. I have to type very slowly and deliberately when using IE.
For some reason it doesn't seem to pick evey key stroke up. It is fine when using office apps though. It seems to possibly be linked to the fan being on constantly.
Online games run slowly too.
I have bought an air duster can but not much came out of the fan area, so the fix that everyone keeps suggesting on here for fan issues hasn't helped, the fan is still noisy and it has taken me ages to type this.
Please help me!

What plugins are you using in IE? Some plugins/toolbars can drastically affect the performance.
Have you tested it in FireFox or another browser? You can download FireFox from here: http://www.getfirefox.com
Did you install Windows yourself? Or are you using the factory Windows installation?
Maybe you are missing some drivers, for example if you have not installed the correct Graphics Drivers, Windows will run in VGA Mode (software mode), which is very slow.
Have a look in Device Manager for driver problems.
It can also be caused by installed software. Perhaps you have two Antiviruses installed? Maybe you should try backing up your data and running Recovery. That would determine if its a hardware or software problem.
A BIOS Update may also help. You can get the latest BIOS from the Toshiba website in the support section.

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 A100-165; while typing cursor jumps to other location

Hi,
When i write with the keyboard sometimes the cursor jumps to another location,
Just right now it jumped to the "subject" input of the thread.
It's pretty random where it jumps but very annoying, i am running a Toshiba satellite a100 165;
Anyone got any ideas what this could be?

Hi
I had the same issue
I didnt notice that I touched the touchpad surface accidently while typing.
This was the reason why the cursor jumped.
You can disable the touchpad using the key combination FN+F9
Furthermore the BIOS update would be advisable too.
Bye

Since upgrading to lion, while typing, my cursor jumps to different parts of the text. any suggestions?

The cursor jumps to wherever the pointer is while typing in text boxes.

While typing in a text box, the blinking cursor will jump to wherever the mouse pointer is and begin inserting the typing there. It happens both on external mouse and on touchpad. It's only on Firefox, I've tested IE and it's fine. Sometimes it is the ' that causes it (I read up on the "jump to find" bug), but it seems to be mostly the spacebar that sets it off. I've had it happen on various websites, blogs, emails, internal site mailboxes, seems to be everywhere. Sometimes a FF restart helps, sometimes a computer restart helps, sometimes nothing helps.
I've also had site pages jump "back" in the middle of typing in a text box as well. At first I thought I was hitting the touchpad while typing by mistake but it happens with the external mouse as well. I have the touchpad disabled while ext. mouse is used.
FF is Version 3.6.10, and I'm on laptop.
Plleeeeezzze don't tell me I have to go back to IE. ewwwww

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 can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions. 
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

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.

Cursor pauses/skips while typing

hi
i am using win 8. for last 15 days i facing a problem that while typing either in word or anywhere the blinking line typing automatically disappears for a while and reappears and typings remains paused durig that dissapearing
moment.
as i have a habit of typing while seeing the keyboard. so problem arise when like i have to write " i am facing the typing problem " after typing the whole sentence when i look
up at monitor there it would be " i am facithe typoblem "
not only this i have to rename a folder with name " hollywood movies" some times it got renamed as "holly" ror " hollywoo" or '"hol" like this i got the right name after a
lot of try. as you can see while cursor pauses it automatically saves the name i.e. it works like a left click while pausing.
another problem arise when like if i selec some file with left click and waiting for a moment when cursor automtically pauses it deselects the file like nothing has been selected.
pls suggest the solution for thid problem as soon as possible.

pls suggest the solution for thid problem as soon as possible.
If this is on a laptop with a Touchpad under the keyboard you should try to find a way to conveniently toggle off your Touchpad while you are typing. Otherwise disable the Touchpad completely and get a real mouse which can not be affected by the motion
of your hands while you type.

Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7

Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7 - I saw a post that devs were looking at this in 2011? Slow progress huh?
This is really annoying when you have to move the cursor to see what you are typing...

Hi,
Please first make sure that Mouse Properties\Pointer options\Hide pointer while typing is ticked.
If this option is already ticked, then try following steps to troubleshoot:
Update the driver for the mouse to get the best performance.
Choose a different cursor as Rob said for a test.
If this issue occurred recently, check if you have any newly installed programs or IE add-ons which cause this issue, you can test this in no add-ons mode, click start button, type "internet" in the search box, choose "internet explorer (No add-on)".
* I test in My IE, I have Hide pointer while typing checked, and in some typing boxes in IE the cursor will hide automatically, while some are not, but I think it's not an annoying issue for me.*

Satellite L450D-13X - Black Screen of Death/Blue Screen of Death

Hello everyone.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L450D-13X computer for the kids, and for the price it's a good laptop. Have had no issues with it until two weeks ago when the screen froze for the boys whilst playing a game and downloading a program from the net. Had to do a force shutdown and since then we have a BSoD on every boot-up. This is what we have tried:
On 'Starting Windows' we are given an option of either 'Launch Startup Repair' which ends up as BSoD or 'Start Windows Normally' which reverts back to the 'Starting Windows' option list.
Any attempt to enter 'Safe Mode' results in BSoD.
Attempting to boot an ISO of the Windows Recovery Disk on a USB key (we did highlight it and promote it to the top) results in BSoD. Borrowing a proper Window 7 installation DVD and highlighting this as an option results in BSoD.
In fact, the only option we used that threw up something different was using advanced boot options. On one of these options we got the Blue Screen of Death with the following information:
Unmountable_Boot_Volume
Disable Bios Memory Options such as caching/shadowing
Tech info
Stop: 0x000000ED (0xFFFFFA80023C2CDO 0xFFFFFFFFC0000185 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000)
I don't mind erasing the hard drive and starting again, there's nothing on it that's critical. I'd very, very much appreciate a steer on this. Checked the web for stuff and nothing seems to assist in any other options. I am not particularly tech literate but can follow instructions.
Thanks in advance.

In my opinion system has a problem to start, so there are two most possible ways waht failed. Firstly as "Akuma" and "Keany" says HDD so check it. Second thing is RAM module. Check it using Memtest 86+ or if you have a possibility replace it for a while by other module. HDD is more possible, but RAM module is easier and faster to check (that's my opinion)

After updating to v. 6.X.X, vertical lines appear around the cursor when typing in webpages such as Gmail and Facebook that persist, obscuring text and other pixels in the webpage. Didn't happen before this update.

I noticed after updating to Firefox version 6.0.1 that vertical lines the same size and shape as the text cursor remain behind on the screen as the cursor moves (either while typing or by using arrow keys). This is most obvious and annoying in text-heavy applications such as when typing in Gmail, Facebook, and work webmail, for instance. (Interestingly, it's not happening now as I type this.)
This is very annoying because these lines obscure parts or even entire letters in words that have been typed. I thought that it might have been a Firefox customized 'skin' I added at the same time as updating, but I reverted to the default view and the problem remains.

How Do I Hide Mouse Pointer While Typing In Firefox

Only in firefox, and only recently am I having problems typing anything through firefox, as the slightest touch of my laptops touch pad causes the mouse pointer to jump along with my typing cursor. This is causing major issues as I conduct all y business emails through firefox. If this cant be helped I will have to start using Internet Explorer Again. EVERY other program I use auto hides the mouse while typing, Except FF....
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure, but I believe a week or so ago

I have had the same problem despite having Hide Pointer When Typing checked in Mouse Properties. Damn annoying. I thought I finally found a solution with a free utility called "Park Cursor Aside" at http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/parkcursoraside-hide-mouse-cursor-when-typing/.
