Matt Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 I recently formatted my step-dad's laptop and reinstalled XP Home. Since that time, he says he's experienced the following issues:When typing, the cursor randomly jumps around, messing things up.The screen saver will only come up if nothing is running. If he has say, powerpoint open, even if the computer is idle, it will never come up. He has it set to % minutes, and just comes up if he has only the desktop up.Any ideas?

shanenin Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 When typing, the cursor randomly jumps around, messing things up.That sounds like it may be a setting to do with the mouse pad. I suspect he is lightly brushing it. You may want to install the mousepad drivers(synaptic). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
