Original machine was Vista. Upgrade to 7 Ultimate. The cursor jumps while typing. I thought it was a sensitivity issue. I cannot duplicate. What do you think?
Where could I find a mouse replacement? HP the only place?
*sigh
I hate taking those things apart too. I hope it is a software issue!I'm still learning everyday.
Seriously? I was hoping for some comment. How about maybe it is an issue with the palm rest, or maybe it is the cable connect for the touchpad ... oh I don't know. I never had one do this.
Is this a virus? Did I miss one? Really, me miss one ... I suppose it could happen.
Comment?

There is a difference between a cursor and a mouse pointer. I am guessing that you mean the mouse pointer is jumping. Next I am guessing you have a laptop with a touch pad under the keyboard. If this is the case, my guess is the palms of your hands are hitting it. If this is the case then there may be a switch to turn off the touch pad while you type or you can disable it through the control panel. Give us more info to go on thanks.
"How about maybe it is an issue with the palm rest, or maybe it is the cable connect for the touchpad ..." Oh, I guessed right.
LOL, can you tell I am po-ed at this machine? And it is the mouse pointer .... I forgot about the property while typing. This may work. I'll check the options.
I was trying to get you'all to be the "what did I not think of" group. :D
And ace_omega ... very cute! I laughed.

Try going to Control Panel / Hardware & Devices / Mouse / Pointer / and unchecked everything on the Pointers tab and the Pointer Options tab (esp Enhance Pointer Precision). That helped quite a bit. Also, keep your hands from accidentally touching the touchpad as you are typing - even cover up the touchpad. Hope that helps you. Such an annoying problem.
Does your laptop have a touchscreen? If so they just released a firmware update in April for the Wacom touchscreen that fixes that very issue.
