As I move my cursor around my drawing, rather than moving smoothly, it jumps in 1/2" increments (architectural). This means I am unable to place it over certain objects that aren't located on one of those spots on the 1/2" grid. If I zoom in pretty close on an object and move my cursor, it jumps right out of my screen.
You probably have the SNAP function on which makes the cursor move
incremental jumps at user-defined spacing. You can hit the F9 button to
turn it off and on, type the command SNAP at the command line or use the
SNAP button under the graphics area in the lower left corner.

Is this a sudden new problem? What LT version are you using? Is this a new PC? what is the OS? SNAP only works inside a command when it's on, are you aware of that? You still seem to be describing SNAP being on.
Otherwise you need to start GRAPHICSCONFIG command and turn off everything on that pop-up to see if that helps too.
I just had our IT department rebuild my laptop because of a OS problem when upgrading to Win 10. When they reinstalled Autocad LT 2010, my cursor does not move smoothly when in a command. It jumps similar to SNAP being on, but SNAP is OFF. I have tried multiple solutions from the forums but nothing seems to help. Any suggestions? When not in a command, the cursor moves smoothly.
LT2010 is not supported in WIn10 http://autode.sk/1IY4C2X (that means if we cannot solve this problem with you, no one out there ever will, not Autodesk, not Microsoft, not anyone).

I was having this same problem and all the answers given were not working. However, I was able to figure out a solution: go to object snap settings, in the snap and grid tab revise the Snap Spacing to be 1/32" or your desired spacing. I do not know what makes this change on its own but mine somehow changed itself to be 1/2" spacing. I hope this helps!
WHY ON EARTH WOULD JUMP AROUD THE SCREEN EVEN BE AN OPTION?!
It is called SNAP and GRID. It has been in AutoCAD for probably 30 years. It is taught in AutoCAD classes on day 1. AutoCAD is not the iPhone of CAD software, and with the multitude of variables and options, comes a learning curve.
