Missie 1 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 My laptop arrived today which is great but i'm having one or two teething problems and never having had one before i'm a bit stuck... When typing the cursor has a mind of its own, it will highlight and delete what i've typed and go back to the middle of a sentance and start typing from there so I end up with something that makes no sense... Any ideas..? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Missie 1 Posted May 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Its an Acer Aspire 5315. The mousepad is in front of the keyboard yes but i've deliberately typed without touching it or leaning on the buttons as I wondered if that was the problem but it still does it and its bloody annoying!

speedlamper 0 Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 you can change the mouse options using start> control pad > mouse then edit the settings, if you dont use the touch pad turn it off pressing the blue fn button (bottom left of keyboard) and f7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
