Ah, this is a common problem with many our clients.
Does this happen to you? You’re typing like a mad person and all of a sudden you see your mouse/cursor move to another spot on your screen. And you’ve noticed for awhile now.
This is a common problem with laptop users and it actually has a medical term associated with it.
Smallhandwristlaptoptouchpad Disorder, otherwise known as SHLTP.
Ok, that’s a joke.
What is really happening is that your wrists or hands are touching the “touchpad” on the laptop ,the little square soft area under your space bar. This is a hardware piece of your laptop that you can use as a mouse instead of attaching a mouse. Not everyone knows this but if you touch it while you’re typing, the cursor/mouse will move on you.
The people having most of the problems with this are women with smaller hands. Some of the touchpads on laptops are wider or more delicate to the touch so you may not even see this problem.
You can disable this function or just keep aware of this and maybe you can avoid touching the touchpad.
If you want help with disabling this feature, Call That Girl today and we can remote in your computer and disable it for you.

Why would you do that you ask? Because you may be on a very old internet plan with Comcast, Qwest, Integra, etc….and need to have your plan upgraded! Many times, these companies will up you for free because you are paying for a plan that has better speeds and will they tell you about it? NOPE. You need to tell them!
If your internet is slow and sluggish but everything else is working fast, then an internet speed test is what you need to get done.
Here’s an easy link to test it yourself.
http://www.speedtest.net/
Click on the green “Begin Test” banner button above the map of the area you are at. (do not click on the orange “free scan” button!) For me, it’s a map of the United States. It also shows you the recommended server to test with, for me who is in Minnesota, it’s Sioux City, Iowa.
After you begin the test, you will see a meter pop up and it will show you how fast your internet is for download and upload speed. Wait until it’s done for you to get an accurate reading.
My test didn’t go that well. I am also on a wireless computer, upstairs from my router. I will go plug my computer in the router and do another test before calling. If you are on wireless, you will get a slower speed than if you were directly connected to the modem/router.
If you are hard wired to your modem/router and see it appearing very low, then you will want to call your internet provider and check into an upgrade if you want your Youtube videos and streaming to be better. This is the main reason why folks want faster internet these days.
Hope this information helps! If you get the test done and it’s fast (4 mg/s or higher) You may just need a computer cleaning. Call us today to get that done remotely!
