Hi all.
This is my first post here; beginning to lose my mind with this problem!
I've just installed a new hard drive, and have XP Pro on it. I used to have
regular XP Home, but laptop wouldnt boot from the recovery disks I made,
thats another story!
Anyway since the fresh installation, I notice when I type in forums or in
emails (OE), or indeed anywhere, the cursor randomly jumps to a different
location. If your not paying attention to the screen you end up messing up
your message. Sometimes the window Im typing in actually closes and I have to
reopen it, or maybe it doesnt close, but minimises.
Ive googled this and seen many other people who had this problem too, but no
explanation. In some cases the problem occured after a reinstall of XP. Why
would it suddenly happen after a fresh instalation? Do I need to uninstall XP
Pro and somehow try to get recovery disks for my old OS to work?
Some people offered solutions related to mouse and touchpad, but its not the
mouse cursor, its the TEXT cursor.
Could it be virus related? And apologies if i have posted this in the wrong
place, if so please redirect me.
thanks
