Dell :: E5530 / Cursor Jumping On Documents?

Mar 1, 2013

is there a way to turn off the voluntary cursor jumping. I am typing, my cursor is 2 sentences above where I actually want to type. It takes me forever to type anything because I always have to be cautious of where my cursor is resting, so it doesn't move me and have me typing in random places in a document or email. Quite often I have to double click on my touchpad to certify my cursor has not jumped to another place in my document.

I have a Dell E5530 laptop using Win 8. I use Open Office for document writing.

Laptop Keeps Jumping From Desktop To Interface?

Sep 18, 2013

I've got this problem with my new laptop, where if I do something with the touchpad (I'm not sure what the exact movement is, but it keeps happening when I'm trying to select things), Windows 8 will jump into the new interface screen.

Is there any way to turn this function off? I've got a button on the keyboard to switch to the interface, so I don't need this particular touchpad function, and it's more of a hindrance than a support.

Windows 8 Pro X64 - Computer Time Keeps Jumping Forward

Oct 10, 2013

Windows 8 Pro x64.

For reasons I can't explain, the time on my computer keeps randomly jumping forward, usually several times a day, in 10-30 minute increments. I go in and re-sync it to the internet time servers each time I notice, but it just changes randomly again a little bit later. The time.windows.com server usually returns the message "An error occurred while Windows was synchronizing with time.windows.com. This operation returned because the timeout period expired.", the other servers sometimes the same, sometimes no problem. The other computers on my network don't seem to have any problems.

How can I stop this happening?

Cursor Freezes When Log Into Non-Guest Account

Sep 25, 2013

I had this problem before where, when a pet rabbit (I admit that was a bad decision) would walk or sit on the computer or keyboard, not for a long time, and as the result the mousepad/cursor would stop working. Even a plugged in mouse wouldn't work. I had it repaired and the person who fixed it said it was a setting. Problem is, same rabbit same problem, and now my cursor does it again. I can turn it on and it will move and click, same with my guest account, but then after a while it'll freeze and not do a thing. Where's the setting?

Cursor Goes Invisible After Login Windows 8

Jul 4, 2014

When I turn on my computer, I get to the login screen, click in the field and type in my password. When the login completes, my cursor disappears. I can still see it highlighting things I mouse-over, I can click on things and right click and do everything normally except for the fact that I cannot actually see the cursor. If I Ctrl Alt Del, the mouse is again visible, but as soon as I got back to to desktop or start screen, the cursor goes invisible again. I have tried messing with the mouse trails and enlarging the cursor, selecting a different cursor, re installing drivers and system restore however, system restore was not successful.

When I try to do a system restore, it says that windows is missing files but that I may insert my installation disk to recover these files. Upon doing so, it says my disk in invalid. The disk is in perfect condition and is the exact disk I used to install windows in the first place. At this point the mouse is still invisible. I then went to My Computer and ran the disk from there. Out of nowhere, the cursor appears and everything seems to be normal. After turning the computer off and back on however, the cursor again disappears until I run my windows installation disk. I've tried this 3 times now and every time inserting the disk causes the cursor to reappear. My theory (which may be wildly incorrect) is that when running the installation disk, it loads the proper files into the RAM which allows my cursor to be visible. As soon as the computer looses power, those files are gone and thus the cursor is no longer visible. This makes sense, (at least to me) except for the fact that the cursor is visible on both the login screen and in the Ctrl Alt Del screen.

My PC:
Windows 8.1
Gigabyte 970A-DS3
Corsair Vengeance LP 2 x 4GB
Corsair TX 550M
Evga GTX 550Ti 2GB

Black Screen But Cursor Movable

Nov 8, 2013

One day i tried to start my computer. Once it started i booted up steam only to see that none of my games were installed. Hmm. So i opened up my computer and saw that one of my SATA cables came unplugged. After plugging it back in my computer did a system check on all of my hard drives. Once that was completed my computer restarted and went to the swirly windows logo and then to a black screen with a mouse pointer that i could move...that's it. I've tried a few things from looking it up like booting into safe mode, trying to log in with the black screen still up, taking out the video card and putting it back in and nothing, just goes to the black screen. I don't have a windows 8 disk so i can't attempt to fix it that way nor do i have my 8 key on hand. i built my desktop so its nowhere on my rig.

Windows 8.1 Preview Pro On Reboot - Only Cursor

Jul 28, 2013

I just installed a clean install of Windows 8.1 Preview Pro on my laptop (HP DV9000) and I've been coming back and forth to the forum and getting my questions answered by reading all the post about my problems and it worked. I've come across one problem that's frustration to say the least and it's really annoying.

Now that when I reboot my laptop it boots just fine and now the blank black screen comes on with just the cursor present. I've waited and even rebooted a few times and it's still the same.

My Documents Folder (Location Is Not Available)

Jul 27, 2014

I've had this error for some time wherein I would try to open my documents folder and I get this message every time: 'C:UsersMeDocuments is not accessible. The file name, directory name, and volume label syntax is incorrect.' I also noticed that nothing was inside the folder at all, as I've checked its properties.

However, it seems that all those original files in the documents folder along with the folder itself seemed to have been moved to a different directory, as I managed to open it from my desktop in the windows explorer. It only appears from there too, as I've checked my libraries and no documents folder existing as well.

The only time It did open was when I tried creating a shortcut of that inaccessible folder onto my desktop and opening it from there. It's bothering me because I can't seem to install anything properly without a message telling me that it can't access my documents files or that it can't find the directory, etc.

Cursor Moves Off The Page - Left Side Only

Aug 21, 2013

Can't move the cursor off the active screen to the top, right or bottom. But when I move the cursor to the left side, it goes forever.

I often do a split screen e.g. to look at two panels concurrently, you can go to the option between minimize & maximize (does this mode have a name???), move the panel to the right and you get a half-screen on the right. Do the same with another screen, move it to the left, and you again get a half-screen. Dunno what this feature is called, but it exists in Win7 & Windows 8, great for doing copy-and-paste from one to another.

Problem is, when I drag to the left, it goes off into space.

Black Screen With Flashing Cursor Caused By 3rd HDD?

Oct 4, 2013

I recently started having the black screen with the flashing cursor come up sometimes when I start my PC. I have narrowed it down as being my 3rd HDD (2TB WD) as the culprit, which I only use as media storage. It is not set as a boot device since windows is on my SSD and when I unplug the drive from my mobo, windows always starts up without any issue.

Basically my question is, is this just a case of a hard drive going bad? I ran chkdsk on all 3 drives and none of them had any issues and it is not fragmented or anything that I can tell, so I don't know. I have had this setup for a while now and about a month ago it started doing this. The screen doesn't always come up however, so I have no clue what the issue is.

Hardware Drivers :: Not Able To Move Cursor When Typing

Mar 19, 2014

I am having trouble with moving my cursor. When ever I hold down any key, I cannot move my cursor around on the desktop, but I can move it if I hold down the CTRL key. I have a Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad and a Standard PS/2 Keyboard, & I have a Windows 8.1 HP Laptop. I also had a similar problem like this before, but instead of not being able to move my cursor, I was unable to click. However, I am able to click while typing, but cannot move the cursor. I am not sure when the problem occurred or how it happened.

Black Screen / No Sound / Busy Cursor?

Dec 22, 2013

My MSI GE70 laptop with windows 8 64 has recently been having an issue while watching videos (whether it is a downloaded file or a stream) where the screen will suddenly go black and the sound will go away, but the cursor will still be visible with the spinning circle to show me it is working on something. It will just stay black and nothing will respond, even CTRL-ALT-DEL. The only way to fix it is to restart the computer by holding down the power button. It doesn't give me any error messages before this happens or on start up afterwards. It isn't overheating, and I didn't install any new drivers before this started.

Gateway Windows 8 Cursor / Keyboard Not Working

Jul 12, 2014

I have a Gateway laptop with windows 8...it shut itself down and restored...it has done this before with no issues. The computer loaded and is at the start page where all the apps are listed. I cannot use the cursor...it doesn't show up. When it goes to sleep usually I can hit the space bar and it responds..but nothing...seem the whole key board is frozen. I have tried the function keys for the cursor and nothing...I have taken my mouse from my other computer to try to use it in the lap top and nothing...I have turned the computer off and on..still nothing.

I use my laptop for work and I am frustrated now that I can't get in to it. It seems locked somehow or stuck. When I hit F1 it does open the desktop page and I see the box appear but I can't click on it. The only way to wake the computer up to see the screen I unplug or replug the power cord in. Other than that it seems to go back to sleep.

Booting Win 8.1 Gives Black Screen With Flashing Cursor

Sep 15, 2014

I had to reinstall the whole machine from scratch because old HDD has been playing up. This is what I did:

1. Imaged old (faulty) drive to new one - just because I needed some data out of it and the old one was very slow and freezing.
2. run the system with new imaged drive - all working except sometimes it was playing up, so I decided to upgrade to another drive with Windows 8.1 from Win7
3. have plugged in new HDD to SATA0 port and the imaged drive to port SATA2
4. installed Windows 8.1, copied data over, reinstalled applications and so on.
5. all working perfectly. Now every time I boot up the machine, I'm offered options if I want to boot to Windows 8.1 or Win7. No problem there.
6. Now I wanted to remove the imaged HDD from SATA2 port, so I did - and here comes the problem:

All I get now is the black screen with flashing cursor in top left corner. How is this possible ? When I plug the second drive in all works as before. I just have to remove the second drive. How can I do this? In the attached image you can see my drives from Windows 8.1 the Disk0 is the one I need to keep - that's a Windows 8.1 ( C: ) Disk1 (imaged HDD) is the one with Win7 on it and needs to be removed.

Long Black Screen During Startup (no Cursor)

Aug 12, 2013

I recently upgraded my dell 1645 from windows 7 to 8.

I installed most of the drivers from the dell website even though they were meants for win 7. For some of them I installed drivers directly from the device manufacturers website.

When the computer first starts up it passes the windows logo, and then a black screen is shown (no cursor) for a good 5 minutes. Then it advances to the login (seatle cartoon image) and everything works perfectly.

I had another issue before that I think I solved which was the intel rapid storage technology. Whenever the computer would go to sleep I got a windows BSOD saying driver_irql_less_than_or_equal. But after installing the newest intel rapid storage drivers sleep seams to work perfectly.

The drivers I installed from the manufacturers that arent on the official 1645 driver page:

- ati radeon drivers from ati
- synaptics drivers
- bluetooth 380 drivers, supposed to be 370 I believe but it seems to only be 380 available which people say works.

I also tried running the intel chipset automatic check, which said I was on the latest.

Click On Video - Cursor Offset To Different Position

Apr 1, 2013

For some reason when I try to click on a video, my cursor is offset to a different position where I am unable to start it. This isn't a problem for things like youtube, but I'm having trouble starting videos from mp4uploads and engine.

If you look in the pictures I posted, the cursor only has problems when it's inside the video window. The places where I marked in red is where the cursor is when I right click on it and inside the blue is where I can click to start the video in that particular video player and am unable to go full screen. As I said before this problem isn't on all video players. Others have my cursor in different positions.

After Logon Black Screen And Cursor Error

Sep 15, 2014

This has happened on a few different systems. After it has the login screen, It will go to the desktop (completely black no icons) and a cursor.

Windows sign does not work nothing other then CTRL + ALT + DEL works but wont bring up task manager.

So I end up doing the "Advanced start up" where I Restore the system and do a fresh load, but when I try to run the updates i get the error of

" Log file c:windowssystem32logfilessrtsrttraill.txt "

So I go to CMD (administrator) and run SFC/ Scannow

"Windows Resource Protection could not start the repair service"

then, chkdsk x: /f

Cannot lock current drive, windows cannot run disk checking on this volume because it is write protected. I ended up erasing the HDD and starting from scratch and STILL get the same issue.

Windows 8 Won't Boot Up / Black Screen With Cursor

Aug 4, 2014

My laptop has been acting really weird the last couple of weeks. It would crash randomly, and sometimes when I picked it up to put it somewhere else, it crashed too.

Now, I thought this was a problem with Windows 8.1, because it didn't behave like this before with normal Windows 8. So I Refreshed my laptop, and after that it worked again, without crashing.

I left it in sleep mode while I got some sleep too, and when I booted it up this morning, it crashed again.

After that the whole laptop wouldn't boot up, and now the only thing that shows is a cursor on a black screen, and it seems to be stuck in sleep mode, because I can't even turn it off completely manually. So I can't access the BIOS or make it boot up in Safe Mode.What the hell should I do?

Specs:

Toshiba Sattelite L50-A-15U

Windows 8 64-bit

Intel i7 4th generation processor with Intel HD4600 graphics card

nVidia GeForce GT740M graphics card

2x 4 GB DDR3L RAM

Black Screen WITHOUT Cursor But Computer Is Not Frozen?

Jan 4, 2014

I upgraded from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 8.1 Pro about a week ago. Everything seems fine, unless I leave the computer idle for a long time. What happens is I get a black screen, with no cursor, when I return to the computer after leaving it idle overnight. It is not asleep. It is also not frozen. I can tell because I am able to reboot it while it's like this by:

Press: WIN+R
Type: shutdown /r /f [ENTER]
Wait 90 seconds.

The computer reboots just fine when I do this. Could it be a bad display driver perhaps? I have an AMD Radeon HD 7950 and am using the latest display drivers from AMD.

Mouse Cursor Appearing During Some Games Windows 8 X64

Feb 28, 2013

Sometimes when I am playing a game in fullscreen with the 360 controller, the mouse cursor will appear on the screen where I last left it. I have to jiggle the mouse and it will go away, but it comes back periodically. In games where I am using a mouse with a special look during the game, I can see flickers of the regular white windows mouse cursor. At first I thought it was just happening in Steam Big Picture Mode, but it is happening in all games.

Downloading Word Documents From Emails?

Apr 8, 2013

The first time I tried to download a word document from an email, a message came up asking how I wanted to download documents and I accidentally chose to open it in Internet Explorer. Now every time I try to download a word document from emails of any source (college site, work site, personal email) I get a message that Internet Explorer is not responding and the email never downloads.

I don't want to download the the files into Internet Explorer (even if that did work). I often need to edit these documents or work as a collaborative group on online assignments. Now I cannot even access them

Documents Can't Make Shortcut To Pin To Start?

Aug 17, 2014

I just did the 'refresh without losing files or settings' after having Windows 8.1 for like 6 months to refresh. Well I lost pretty much every setting and basically started from scratch minus backing up my files to an external/cloud like a regular full reformat. This feature save maybe 5 minutes. and my monitor settings are all messed up, tiny text or scroll bar on the bottom of IE because pages wont fit if I make the text larger, the resolution was fine before I reformatted. What a POS OS. I can go on and on and on. MS should be sued for emotional distress for this faulty POS OS.

So my recents docs is gone we all know, but there are sort of workarounds. I want my recent docs, not recent 'Items' that I was able to pin to start but requires more navigating to get to recent word files etc.

I did this Just open the run dialog box by pressing Win + R and type in "recent". There you can see your recent activities.

Note: "Recent places" can be access under Windows Explorer's under "Favorite".

Also you can create a shortcut of the "recent" at your desktop and then pin it to start menu. For this just right click on desktop and seclect New>Shortcut. In file location type the path

well when I enter the copied path to the new shortcut, it says invalid. The path is:

C:Users
ameRecent"C:Users
ame
ecentRecent"

Edit, after just noticing the link above actually doubled the path, I just deleted the duplicate second half and got the shortcut to create and made it work.

great program that it duplicated the path when I copied it once.
