    Cursor disappears while typing
    Hello All...


    I have tried to resolve this on my own... no luck..

    While I;m typing ,my cursor disappears from the page (continuously).. so I have to point & clik where I was last typing.. then 2 or 3 or so letters later I have to do it again... takes for ever to type something...

    This so frustrating & annoying!

    It's a Kensington wireless mouse.. few months old...

    I've been to Control Panel/mouse/uncheck "hide cursor while tyoing"

    I really hope someone here can help me with this... please & thank you!! :D

    LOL, this happens to me ALL the time. It's not a problem with your computer, it's a problem with your thumbs. This used to drive me bonkers!

    You're touching the touchpad accidentally and it's drawing your mouse off to the side and acting like a "click". Watch your thumbs... hehe. My Sony laptop and both my daughter's Sony laptops... we all three had this happen, used to laugh about it at dinner.

    Ummmm... I wish it was that simple... I just did my own test.. I totally removed my hands from the keyboard & held them to my chest.. cursor blinks aprox 9 to 14 times then disappears..
