| 343926 | 2005-04-11 23:54:00 | Hi, first post, whoo :) I'm on a Optima Centoris laptop right now, (main computer) and the cursor is continually moving around the screen, like just jumping around. This makes writing near impossible without holding down the page down key. Someone told me this is because of a cache problem, but I clear my cache every day, and it doesnt fix anything. I'm 99% sure its not a virus, because every week I run my virus software, Adaware and Norton Antivirus. Can someone please help me? - Dougie |

| 343930 | 2005-04-12 03:13:00 | Heh, tried that already. Its got nothing to do with the mouse, its something on the computer. Oh well | Dougie (7869) | ||
| 343931 | 2005-04-12 06:44:00 | So if you disconnect your cordless and use the touchpad you still get the cursor jumping around? | pctek (84) | ||
| 343932 | 2005-04-12 06:57:00 | Yeah, I even tried changing mice to an old Logitech corded, but still same problem. So I know the problem isnt with my hardware. | Dougie (7869) | ||
| 343933 | 2005-04-12 07:39:00 | There are 2 (or 3) things that control the cursor. The mouse The touchpad The "G-Spot" if fitted (the stub controller beside the G key) You have probably eliminated the mouse, and I don't *think* your laptop has a G Spot controller (but we have no idea of the model, so cannot be 100% sure) Therefore a hardware problem with the touchpad could easily cause this problem. Look in the BIOS to see if you can disable it. |

I dont have one of the G spot things, but I have no idea what to do with a BIOS ? I don't even know what that is, Basic I O System? Anyway, if you could tell me how to fix that it would be great :) |
