Shifting Cusor

iggie

I am having a problem with my HP laptop, whenever I type a letter or message the cusor jumps around and of course this gets letters in wrong place. I have to constantly watch and re position it, is there a fix for this? Its quite annoying any help will be appreciated.

    As you do not mention having a mouse (?) perhaps you are lightly brushing the touchpad with your wrist or a loose blouse/shirt sleeve as you type? This can easily happen with laptops. If you use a mouse you can disable the touchpad to avoid this.

    I have tried using a mouse it does the same thing with a mouse plugged in and the touch pad disabled. You can be typing and cusor will move and place letter in sentences already typed.

    Did you try:

    The basic reboot?

    A System Restore back to a good date?

    Booting up in Safe Mode to see if the malady still occurs?

    I don't really think this is it, but years ago there was reoccurring malware which effected cursor movement. When all else fails a couple good scans can't hurt anything.
