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.
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.
I agree, Aug 2011 I updated Windows and the problem solved by itself, but again appeared in Nov 2011. now one portion of text is automatically selected and when next char is pressed all the text is deleted.
some tracking software must be doing this,
I have noticed if any IE toolbar is installed and removed this problem starts.

Still using a freeware program (touchfreeze) that cures the problem that Gates programers haven't bothered to address. I've been a happy camper for a half year now.
