In every application on my computer, my cursor jumps around while typing. I can not type fast because I have toconstantly bring the cursor back to where I am typing (just did it again right now). Something is wrong and needs to be fixed. I am not technical and have no idea how to fix or what forum this question belongs in. Please advise.

To all who have been having 'cursor jumps around while typing' problem.  I had the same problem and had my Sony VAIO support team help me with it.  They put in a fix that worked.  Microsoft.  It would be beneficial if you could contact Sony regarding this problem and access to the solution they put in place for me, since they seem to have found a solution to the problem.

    disabling the touchscreen is no good as I have a Samsung SF310 with only one USB port. So I would have to use that one and only port for the mouse thus prohibiting me to using any other add -on such as an internet dongle.  thanks for the information but no use to me. Geoff

    This is a complete fob off by Microsoft, who have a serious error here that only happened upon using Windows "bloody" 7 when the cursor randomly jumps back.  I wrote a 140,000 word book in xp and never had this problem MICROSOFT admit you hav a problem and SORT IT OUT!!!!!!

    I don't agree with the touch pad thing. My HP has an off button for the touchpad and the courser still jumps. grrr. This didn't happen till I upgraded to windows7.

    Thanks. My cursor misbehaved since a couple days. I downloaded latest driver updates from my laptop manufacturer’s website and and that took care of the problrm.
