Cursor keeps jumping about

by bute101 - 10/7/10 3:04 AM

When typing my cursor jumps to a different point which if I dont catch it fast enough makes a nonsense of what I am trying to say. It doesn't matter how fast or slowly I type. Has anyone else came across this problem and if so how do I fix it. Many thanks

Solved keying problem after 1 year

My cursor used to jump around all over in Word, Outlook, even on websites - basically anywhere you can type after I bought Windows 7. I'm a touch typist, no way I was making these errors-I can type in my sleep. ( I think I have a few times way back!) Even happened when I watched the keyboard & screen. I tried a lot of things including updating Windows 7. The solution? To go to the website where I bought my computer and update all the drivers. It's fixed! You have no idea how annoying this problem is till you have it. Try this solution and see if it works if you have this problem.
