This one is very frustrating.

It seems to be a windows problem.

When I'm typing in just windows and in any program, the cursor goes away
from the text box and will do other program commands or highlight other text.
Is this a virus and how can I fix it? Thanks!
 
Open XP's "Help and Support" and type: TEXT SERVICES , and hit enter.
Then click on "Turn text services off or on". You need to turn-off text
services.

I'm afraid that didnt work.

I followed the steps to a certain point, but the Languages tab under
preferences was not active. So I went to the advanced tab and turned off text
services. But it still didnt fix it :(.

Thanks for the help though.
 
Hi John,

Try opening Control Panel and then the Mouse icon. On the pointer options
tab, you should see a box to check for "Hide pointer while typing". Put a
check in the box and that should take care of your problem.

HTH, JAX
 
Hi John,

As I said in my "Correction" post, I think I said that backwards. Try
un-checking it.

LOL, JAX
