Why does Windows 7 have typing problems?
When i type on the internet or on games, I often open new tabs or open other problems, simply by typing. Sometimes what I'm typing will get erased, filled in with something else, or just won't get typed at all. I was told this is a Windows 7 bug.

2010-07-25T15:00:58+00:00 I have this problem with Windows XP as well. I'll be typing along, take a second or two pause, and start again. But the cursor is in a different place in the document. Or like you said it will delete the last paragraph. Why is this? Anyone know?

2010-09-08T12:14:14+00:00 I am a prolific writer, so it has been so time consuming, having to edit paragraphs, where the cursor has jumped from the centre of one word to the centre of another word a few sentences earlier, and carries on, nonsensically from there, until it decides to split another word, somewhere else. I was using an Acer Aspire laptop, running Vista.
I recently reformatted my laptop, in desperation, with Windows 7. Oh, what a dream. It ran perfectly, for about a day and a half. I have had about 25,000 updates through, some of course relating to Word, and now, in less than a week, the skipping is as bad as it was before. I am sure that it is something that has come through in the updates, but which one?
I run Norton anti-virus, and have never had an infection in my machine.
