Typing with notebook keyboard

Fishy1965 — Tue, 18 Jul 2006 15:36:09 GMT

I am getting frustrated when typing, as I keep managing to jump about the page while typing; which is driving me up the wall. This does not happen all the time, but when it does it really makes me want to swear. Am i doing something wrong, or is there something I can do.:smileysad:

Hi Fishy1965,

Welcome to Club Vaio,

Just a thought, have you checked your mouse (touchpad) setings.. Goto Start > Control Panel > Printers and Other Hardware > Mouse.

Select the Tapping tab in the Mouse properties Window and check that 'Tapping Off When Typing' has been selected..:smileyconfused:

My Vaio is a VGN-FE11M, I am using a bluetooth mouse most of the time and can not find the setting you are describing. I have an icon for mouse and a seperate one for printers and fax; I am running windows XP home addition.

Regards

Simon

Hi Fishy1965,

It's Start --> Control Panel --> Mouse

- then Tapping tab

But I don't think it will solve your problem (would be good if yes). I've experienced that on my older desktop with my PS/2 optical mouse - really annoying. (I think I had Office 2000...)

Even now with my vaio my cursor jumps on my screen, but it hasn't happend when working in MS Word or similar application.

I won't offer you a solution I'm affraid, all I can think of are two things in common: Windows XP and an optical mouse. - check updates for both ...

I think it never happend to me in previous versions of MS Windows...

Maybe it's an Office's bug when you press a combination of buttons on your keyboard.....

I know it doesn't help, but it might give you an idea....

Good luck
