Errors in typing emails

Mar 13, 2005 10:43AM PST

I hope someone can help me! I start typing my emails, and all of a sudden the cursor/line jumps to another line and starts typing next to other words! For example, I'll be writing a subject title, and then suddenly I'm in the message header such as From or To and the rest of my sentence is on that line! Is this spyware or just a quirk of my computer? Thanks for your help out there....

i will try the number lock. thanks
below is what hp sent me through email
i can't get to the Click Tapping Tab because when i click the mouse icon i get the wireless mouse properties. and there is no tapping tap there. i might uninstall the wireless mouse inorder to get to the original mouse properties.

The cursor may jump due to the sensitivity of touchpad. To troubleshoot
this issue adjust the touchpad sensitivity settings by following steps:

1. Click Start, and then Control Panel.
2. Click Printers and other Hardware, and then click Mouse.
3. Click Tapping Tab.
4. Click the Touch Sensitivity button.
5. Adjust its settings and click Ok.

This should solve the issue.

The information provided should answer all your queries and help you.

be happy to help you.
