I haven't had this problem w/ XP or 98 os. Usually I am able to resolve about 85% of my OS problems but this has stumped me. When I type in Vista even in Word Pad or the addres bar I run into this problem. I'll type in the adress bar and while i'm typing the characters for example www.abcnews.com, while i'm typing the c in abc the cursor will jump to a causing this.
cabc. Also, i'll type a paragraph and the cursor will jump to the previous paragraph and start somewhere in that program. I'm thinking maybe there is some program on my pc causing this like a virus. Also, i've reformatted my hardrive and reinstalled my vista a couple of times. Has anyone had this problem with Vista? What was the corrective action?

do you have a trackstick? if so, have you tried disabling it?
