I deleted some programmes on my laptop today and since then my cursor keeps jumping around the screen while I'm trying to type.
I wanted to delete Surf Canyon, which I did but deleted another one called Syncapation??? or something like that in error.
I've looked in recycle bin but it's not there.
Can anyone help me please? |

Jack, by and large nothing is ever deleted, maybe overwritten if yer very unlucky.
There is a free progam available called "Recuva" which searches for all programs previously deleted. It takes minutes to find and load. A few more to run.
It should find your missing file quite easily, show whether it is fully recoverable ( i'd wager it will be ) and then you simply restore.

Reading the OP again, System Restore will work for programmes that have been removed/added.
However, it leaves "files" in their current state, otherwise it would restore a large number of genuinely "deleted" files everytime System Restore was run.
For anyone who has deleted a "file" in error a programme like "Recuva" will work if used promptly. It is somewhat enlightening to see what has been previously been deleted and is still sat there.

Is a type of laptop that you can disable the touch pad for moving the cursor?
When on a laptop, the wrists sometimes moves the cursor, a big pain when typing and not looking a the screen...
Let us know what you did. |

System restore is your best bet, set to yesterday as said.
As a side note it's really surreal to read an IT help forum thread peppered with dirty pics for the avatars lol
