Laptop Keyboard issue?

RaiderHammer

Hi can anyone help with this. When typing on the keyboard the texts tends to jump around. What I mean by this is you can type not looking at the screen and the curser seems to have jumped back to text you have already typed and then you are typing in the middle of text that is already there.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

You may be inadvertently moving it via the touch pad. Some laptops have a button to deactivate it.

Push the button at the top of the touchpad to turn it on and off.

Varies from make to make on my mates Acer it was to the right side of the pad, suggest you consult your hand book.

In Windows XP go to Control Panel and double click "Mouse" (select "Classic View" if there is no Mouse icon).

Control panel is the way to go if unsure about any the function keys, But your palm is touching your touch pad when you type. Thats the cause and it is annoying.
