I have a very jumpy cursor. Can you help?

cursor or mouse pointer?

Adjust your Device Settings, TrackPad.

Do You use an external mouse or the laptops built in finger pad ?

I had this very same problem a few years ago, Turned out to be the external mouse

Are you using a mouse or the pad on the laptop? If you are using a mouse check for lint or something in the tracking lens area by blowing it away.

did your mouse eat mollys?

my mouse does that mostly when the batteries are low
but sometimes I just take it and kindof smack it down on the mousepad with a bit of force and it kicks back into gear, like someplace inside there is a short or the power supply is weak because of poor conductive contact that need to be jarred into place if it goes out of wack

cursor. have usb mouse and tried disabling tuochpad but still the same.

here an e.g.

Tsmall Tcaps are typedT first then the big caps are YPE YPECHadded/edited YPE CHTbetween lines. you will notice big CHcaps ECKjumping to end ECKof YPtext.E CHECK TYPE CHECK TYPE ECHECK TYPE CHECKCK

external mouse. but using pad changed nothing. want to think that my keyboard is the problemo

Weird. Did you clean the keyboard? I can think of a faulty serial port or something if the thing is very old.
Try booting up in secure mode and if the problem persists, if so it may be something interfering, but sounds more like a faulty keyboard or connector.

its 2yrs old and seldomly used. but this only started when I uninstalled avast. roamed yesterday on google searched and some tells it a virus that only cleaned through reformatting or whatever. but now i remembered that safe mode thing, i'll try that first. praying to hell it works

1. If the mouse was working fine before the uninstall of Avast, then it might be a bad registry entry. Go to "Ninite.com" and download Glary Utility. Run it, Reboot and get back to us.

2. Try plugging the USB connector into another usb port so windows can reassign it.

If all else fails:


3. You might try a malware scan with your software and then grab "Superantispyware" from Ninite.com and give it a run.

Hell, if nothing works go find "Combofix from bleeping computers and give it a run. Who knows could be malware on a root level effecting things..

Good Luck

Already tryed yesterday at a jp morgan remark...what happened then.

repeated avg full scan:
Luhe.Packed.AA highly sever virus.
this appeared twice with AVG and says it is healed but poofs every scan.
3 days ago, i was irritated with an every-minute malware detection of avast but i scanned thrice with clean results. so i uninstalled that and put AVG. very fortunately, avg detects that Luhe but lying said it cured the pest.

dunno how this Luhe came but i know my brother is not anti-porno or whatever else.

best thing is reformatting, just be careful not to get this infection. it does a lot:
-that jumpy cursor
-backspce arrow keys faulty
-auto ms outlook lauch in reboot
-undetectable AIDS like virus (norton, avast, avg wiped out)
-touchpad and mouse sometimes stop

-an ultimate time leecher

Wow green mango without skin is nice...

Get rid of this shit and try nod32. Thank me later.

try to save important files on a backup memoery, or your email if you can and then resent your comp to original settings the glp virus and others will get deleted. Google "how to restore (enter comp and model here) to original settings". It will make it as fast as new too.

Do you have matches? Try setting it on fire

could your mouse driver software be corrupted? Could you make sure your mouse drivers are up to date?

Do you have ccleaner? That gets rid of so much, so many garbage files. [link to www.ccleaner.com]
