I'm using XP on a Toshiba Satellite series laptop. The
cursor jumps randonmly to the beginning of a
line/paragraph/page while typing in a word document or
drafting out a mail online. I have tried reinstalling the
device drivers for the keyboard but that does not seem to
help. All the keys work fine otherwise, so I dont see a
Hardware issue here. The recurrence of the random-cursor-
movement problem is every 15-20 and sometimes every 50
words!
 
what type of built in mouse does the laptop have? a touch pad or an eraser
mouse? if it is a touch pad, i bet that your thumbs are accidentally
grazing the pad and moving the mouse. since these pads are also pressure
sensitive, it can also be interpreted as a mouse click and drag.
