When typing cursor jumps from end of sentence to beginning, middle, or beginning of last word.

AllenjonesWV

Please help. When I am typing my cursor continues to jump from where I am typing back to the beginning of the sentence, in the middle of the sentence, or sometimes in the middle of a word I have already typed. It get very aggrivating seeing how this is pretty much a new computer. I had to have the hard drive replaced only 4 months after I bought it and every since I got it back from the repair techs I have had this problem with the cursor jumping all around when I am typing. Is there anything I can do to make it stop so I can type without having to start over and over and over?

Its not a faulty touchpad - its just too sensitive. Forget the touchpad and use a small wireless mouse (unless you away from a desk of course).  I had the same problem with my wife's Toshiba netbook.  While typing, whenever the bottom of your thumb ever so slightly brushes the touchpad, the cursor jumps all over the place and you find you are typing in the middle of a paragraph.  Most times you cannot tell that your thumbs are causing the problem but you can verified it by temporarily disabeling the touchpad (Function+F7).  Belkin makes a small wireless mouse called a Travel Mouse.
