Annoying "Flicker" Problem

I

Island Momma

Got this dang computer (HP) with Vista Home. It drives me nuts. When I am
typing it suddenly does something (maybe called a flicker) and the curser
ends up somewhere else on the page.... (and the letters get typed out of
place)

I have my monitor set for 1024 X 768, I tried to raise the Monitor setting
screen refresh rate, but it is set at 60 Hertz and there is no other option
for it. If I increase the pixels there is still only 60 Hertz setting
option.

What is this problem and how can I get it fixed. Getting tired of screwed
up text .
Thanks for any help anyone can give me!

Is there anyone out there with a solution to this issue. I have a Tohsiba
purchased 1 year ago (running Vista), and had this isue, but being a computer
novice, always assumed it was something I was doing. However, just bought my
spouse a new Acer (again, running Vista) and having the same issue on that
one, so I decided to do some research. It has to be a Vista issue since it is
occurring on 3 different computers being used by 3 different people.
Pleeeeease, if someone out there has a solution for this, can you post and
help us out.

Is it a laptop? If so your palms are brushing the touch pad and
moving the cursor. Either disable the touch pad and use a mouse or
be more careful about the pad.
