cursor jumping

[Tester]

Hello there,
I am typing a document and the cursor jumps all over the place. Is
there a setting in XP Pro sp3 to adjust that? I am using a laptop and
is doing it in the undocked configuration. Thank you, T

Disable the touchpad, or lower its sensitivity, whichever is available
in its Properties. The typing causes the membrane to vibrate and that's
misinterpreted as a tap by you at the new location.

Yes..... disable your touchpad and use a USB mouse instead. Either that
or learn to keep your palms away from the touchpad while you type.
