Cursor blink rate

Ok... If I understood correctly, you are referring to the cursor that blinks when you type something (e-mail message, document in Word, etc).
The cursor is supposed to move when you type something, but not jump around erratically.

If you want to customize the blink rate, go to the Start Menu search box, type "keyboard" and click on the result with the same name.
There, in the 'Speed' tab you will find all the settings.

If you have some special keyboard, you should download & install the appropriate drivers for Windows Vista. This might solve your problem.

Vista program windows minimize and jump around

All windows in all programs minimize just by tapping the touch pad. I've had this toshiba laptop with Vista for over a year and have not found an answer to this extremely annoying problem. Makes a person a nervous wreck.

Help.

windows jump around and minimize

I bought a new Toshiba laptop which came with Vista installed, in the summer of 2007. I can be in any program from Office to IE to a scrabble game and clicking with the touch pad makes the window jump or minimize frequently and erratically. Please, can someone help me stop the insanity? I'm hating Vista.
