When typing the cursor will stop typing and you willhaveto click again where you stopped and start over

When in a program (IE 11 or Word, Outlook, etc..) my User will begin typing. After a few characters the system will just stop accepting the typing. The User will have to Click in to the field to get the cursor back to the correct point & begin typing
from that point.
This seems to happen very frequently for all my users. We recently deployed new PCs with Win 7 32-byte on them to everyone. Has anyone seen this happen and have any remedy for it?
I have replaced the keyboard thinking that is the issue but upon further research I am leaning more toward it being a Windows 7 issue.

Hi,
This issue may be caused by the below reasons:
The mouse. The cursor missing from the current page may be caused by the mouse lost its focus point, this may because of the mouse itself or some other elements(Mouse pads and mouse drivers) which may affect
the function of the mouse. If laptops, please try to disable touch board.
Other applications. Please check if there are any applications(Usually some virus or scripts) running automatically when typing, some applications may call the cursor out when it starts.
Network connection. If you use the wireless network, please make sure the connection is well configured on the client side, check WLAN NICs and the driver.
The printer driver. In addition to this, please also verify the PC have all the other drivers up-to-date.
Please take a health check and update the anti-virus databases, if possible try a clean boot , also change a mouse and check the other aspects and see if the problem still exists.
Hope this may help,
Best regards
Michael

While typing the cursor will suddenly move to another sentence?

When typing a sentence on any page, the cursor will move to another part of the paragraph or sentence and start typing THERE. It happens EVERY TIME I use Firefox but never with IE7.

my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.7 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) has started misbehaving on me. When I'm working, the cursor will start spontaneously moving to the in a straight line, and randomly right clicking on things.
If I close the computer and open it back up, it sometimes stops for a little while, then will spontaneously start again. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks!

See this knowledge base article. Also, you might want to update to 10.6.8 (don't know that that will fix your problem, but it's the latest version of Snow Leopard).

AFTER SUBJECT IS TYPED IN THE CURSOR WILL NOT LET ME WRITE THE MESSAGE

WHEN SENDING AN E-MAIL, I CAN TYPE IN THE CONTACT PERSON AND THE SUBJECT, BUT THE CURSOR WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER - THEREFORE, I CANNOT TYPE MY MESSAGE
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I TRIED TO SEND A MESSAGE TODAY

1) Firefox 2.0.0.20 is no longer supported, and since you are using Windows Vista there are 3 newer versions of Firefox you can install - 2 of which are still supported.
2) Which '''web mail''' service are you using with Firefox?
Yesterdays Hotmail upgrade seems to have broken many things for Firefox users, regardless of which Firefox version is used. It's up to Microsoft to fix the problems they created with that update.

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).

When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with each letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back. The problem occurs in both MS Word and Pages. Any idea of how to resolve this annoying problem is appreciated. System: 10.10.1

When mousing over text, the cursor flickers constantly (with every letter passed) from arrow to i-beam and back. The problem occurs in both MS Word 2011 and Pages. Any idea of how to solve this annoying problem will be much appreciated. System 10.10.1 on a MacPro (Late 2013)

The mouse is controlled by the OS so don't guess any app other than a mouse driver or OS X itself would be able to cause this sort of flicker issue.
Have you seen the following and is it what you are seeing? Maybe you could make a movie (Quicktime is great for this this to make a screen recording) - but not sure how to attach a movie to these discussions as mine is grayed out and can't be selected (to the right of the insert image). Here is the what I found for a search of "mouse cursor flickers os x yosemite"

What kind of mouse are you using? Is the mouse driver up to date if it's a third party mouse?

Sorry you are having problems. First of all try Fifrefox's safemode.
*[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]
If that works post back for further advice.
Next step, if safe mode did not work.
First: Try a clean install, (you have had a none standard version installed previously) that involves deleting the program files. Then if necessary try troubleshooting by creating and using a clean empty Firefox profile.
See
* this recent post [/questions/940399#answer-377134]
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Clean_reinstall
Second: try a New Profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager#Creating_a_new_profile
* this will be an additional profile, it is still worth backing up any existing or currently working profile on a regular basis
**[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* Until you are absolutely confident about the repercussions I suggest
** always use an empty folder when creating a new profile
** never delete or rename profiles, just disable or remove shortcuts
** after creating a new test profile open it and check for any addons or plugins that may be have been included by default

After I click system preferences to change my screensaver, it will say loading images and the cursor will be loading. How do i fix this to be able to change my screensaver and not have my computer do this?

Try system preferences>desktop,click desktop tab. Click the Apple folders, iPhoto, or folders. Click the pic you want on the icon, it should put the pic as your wallpaper. You can change the picture if you change picture if you click it and the time. Unless I don't understand your question. ATB
