    jumping cursor

    When typing my cursor randomly jumps all over the place. When i'm typing a letter in Word or typing in E-mails. Very disturbing. This is my first time using the vista forum. I hope i'm in the right forum...thanks tom

    Welcome to Vista Forums!

    Do you have a wired or wireless mouse? If it is wireless, there could be a problem with the driver. Please give all details on the mouse and keyboard.

    Thanks & looking foward to help you,
    Ben

    Out of sheer curiosity are you using a laptop?

    Hopefully your mouse will have the ability to customize, and should provide some preferences settings. Sounds like the sensitivity is up too high, and if you have a laptop with the ability to set your "Palm Check" that would make the mouse jump around too. Let us know what kind of mouse/touchpad you have, and perhaps we can help you with more specific directions.
