cursor movement

[Guest]

Ever since I upgraded to Vista from XP I have had a problem with typing text
in any given field. I hope I can explain this clearly:

Problem: When I type an email I will be typing and all of the sudden the
text I'm typing goes to a different part of the screen(usually at the last
location I left the mouse cursor). This happens ALL of the time(usually
after every 10 letters or so). This is SOOOOO annoying and has only been
happening since I upgraded to Vista. Does anyone know what the problem is?
It has taken me forever just to get through typing this text since I've had
to make corrections all throughout it! Please help. By the way, Im using a
HP laptop notebook with a touchpad, if that helps figuring out the problem.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I have EXACTLY the same problem! For me, it happens mostly when i'm typing a
document using Word. That's very annoying. I hope someone finds a solution
for this problem.

It usually caused by hitting the Ctrl button in error when choosing a
capital and hitting the second key that then acts like a combination and can
open dialogs or move the curser to another place.

I wanted to bump this post up as I have the same problem. I also had this
problem when I bought my laptop last year and I called Gateway and they fixed
it. I have a new laptop (both have Vista) and I can't remember how to fix
the problem and Compaq hasn't a clue (after being on the phone with them for
2 hours). Anyone found a solution?
