Today I'm going to talk about one of the most irritating, annoying
and frustrating problems I have ever encountered while using laptops.
The problem occurs while typing some text. It doesn't matter what and
where are you typing, you might be typing in Microsoft Word or a web
browser or anywhere else. When you are typing some text, the mouse cursor automatically jumps to a different location
and if you don't notice it and keep typing, you may end up with an
unpredictable document which might look written in an alien language.
In past I was using Dell XPS 1530 laptop and I never faced such
problem but when I got another laptop Dell XPS M15, I started having
this annoying problem. I double-checked that my hands were not touching
the touchpad accidentally. In fact I tried to type some text while
looking at the keyboard and touchpad and still the cursor jumped to a
different location.
First I thought that its a problem in my laptop but then I searched
on Internet, I found there are many people who have faced the same
problem while using a laptop with touchpad. Most of them were using
laptops of Dell, HP or Sony.
So its definitely a problem present in some laptops and not in your
hands. So what's the solution? How to fix this annoying cursor jumping
problem?
Here is the answer! I found that a freeware "TouchFreeze" can fix this problem. It has been suggested by lots of people in Microsoft communities as well.
TouchFreeze is a free software which automatically disables the
touchpad of your laptop as soon as you start typing. Since the touchpad
is disabled, the cursor will not jump automatically while typing.
You just need to install the software and it'll sit in system tray.
Its very simple to use and doesn't need any configuration. If you want
to close it, you can right-click on its icon in system tray and select
exit option.
If you are using a laptop and facing similar problem, you can give this freeware a try using following link:
