Topic: cursed curser

[ACE]

When I am typing a reply or using the notepad and things my curser keeps jumping about which can be very tedious . Any ideas or cures?

Are you on a laptop ACE - often the touchpad can be accidentially touched by hand or sleeve when typing..

I've sussed it. Dicky mouse, I use one instead of the touchpad and I unplugged it and hey presto, everything is ok again. I needed an excuse to go and get a wireless one. Which is the best?

I use a Logitech wireless keybord and mouse combo, haven't had any probs so far!

I have two wireless mice. The one I use with the laptop is a Microsoft one where the USB bit that you plug into the laptop fits in the back of the mouse when not in use and turns it off. I have never had to change the battery in three years of use.

The one I use with the PC is a Logitech which has an on/off switch. If you switch it off when it's not in use the batteries last much much longer. With my previous one I seemed to be changing the battery every five minutes.

I've got 2 Toshiba - 1 for the main PC & 1 for the laptop, the usb plug-in bit is only very tiny so it doesn't stick out so it can stay plugged in to the laptop all the time, & the mouse has a swich on the bottom
