Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 i had the same problem when i first got my laptop -- i was used to a desk top and did not have this problem with the laptop, i discovered that my fingers kept hitting the touchpad below the keyboard i think that is what messed things up -- not Vista i use a mouse instead of the touchpad one day while exploring the icons on the bar at the bottom of the screen i found a place where you can disable the touchpad while using the mouse i disabled the touchpad and the problem of responses disappearing while typing is no longer a problem Pink Joyce R (IPF 3/06) IFA 5/09 Pennsylvania Donate Life Listed 1/09 Inactive 4/09 www.transplantfund.org--- Subject: to SherTo: Breathe-Support Date: Thursday, November 12, 2009, 12:21 AM Sher, Maybe it isn't Vesta, maybe it is Yahoo. I start typing and suddenly it goes away and I get a message about being discontinued or something. I found that it actually is under neath the board. If I go up to the right hand corner and click on -- it sends the board to the taskbar and there is my message. I continue typing and send it, then bring the board back up from the taskbar. It might be Vesta giving you the problem and that may not work for you. Before I learned that this would work for me, I would type my posts in microsoft word and then quickly paste the message in. hopefully before it dissapeared. I wonder how many others are having that same problem. Marcia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 12, 2009 Report Share Posted November 12, 2009 Joyce, I had the identical problem and settled on the same solution. I use an external mouse and disabled the touchpad on my laptop. Voila! problem solved!
