I have Windows XP
I like to copy and paste A LOT of different things. I have used a computer for 22 years and NEVER had this problem before except in the last week or two.
Example. If I have an existing Word document and there is a SPECIFIC sentence or paragraph I want to copy/paste somewhere else, THE CURSOR DRIVES ME CRAZY! It will NOT let me highlight EXACTLY what I want. It jumps all over the place and messes up my word document by jumbling the words around. I can highlight a whole sentence but then without warning it cuts half of what I want to copy/paste into another part of the original document. It lets me highlight a paragraph and when I lift the cursor off to click copy, the highlighted area disappears and I cannot copy to paste.
I like to visit www.gretawire.com which is a FOX news blog site. When I see something I want to respond back to, I TRY to copy and paste the person's name/date of comment and mamby the first 2 sentences AND THE CURSOR BOUNCES EVERYWHERE. I can highlight but as soon as I try to paste the highlight goes away. I have been cutting/pasting for YEARS and this is NOT rocket science but I CANNOT DO IT NOW.
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG?
Almost forgot, I KEPT GETTING MICROSOFT ERROR messages and my computer has been slower than usual so I:
1. Went into My Computer and searched for all temp files *.tmp,*.chk,~*.* and was surprised at the number but all deleted now.
2. I went to ccClean and updated all the obsolete programs including the newest Firefox.
3. Purchased this product to fix my registry errors http://www.maconusersgroup.org/RegistryBoosterReview.html SPEED did noticeably increase.
Don't know what else to do. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE? Classes start 24 Aug and when I am researching and cutting/pasting, I don't want my cursor all over the map.
