Pointer trouble
 |
help . please help me? i am having trouble with my laptop. the arrow/cursor has a mind of its own and wants to go to to the start bar at the foot of the page or the X possition at the top right hand side of the page as if to close things down. i have no control using the scratch pad when this is happening. i have also tried using an external mouse and the same thing is happening. i lose control for several minutes at a time when this is happening. i don't go on line using the laptop so it can't be a virus. HELP ME PLEASE? THERE MUST BE SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO KNOWS WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY LAPTOP ?

Hi,
Try going, Start, Control Panel, Printers and other hardware, Mouse and then select the Pointer tab. Ensure that the "Snap to" button is not checked.

try uninstall the mouse/mouse pad .in device manager ,rebooting and reinstalling drivers ,maybe.
if you take files from other sources and copy them to the laptop you can get viruses ,don't need to connect to the internet to get them .if that does nothing try downloading and running www.superantispyware.com tool to check for nastiest that may be causing it

Hi again,
It would help if you detailed what you had tried and what you have not, we are here to help you and we need help to understand your problem. For you to reply with a statement like that is totally uncalled for!
I hope that you will do as suggested and don't reply to him in the same manor, as far as I am concerned, I will be of no further help to you.

anyway did you try uninstalling and reinstalling the device
