Vista - Text/Cursor Jumps to other lines as typing

For some reason, as I am typing text in Vista WinMail, the cursor moves to
lines already typed or to a spot in the message I am replying to and my text
appears there rather than in the sentence I am creating. The beginning of a
sentence ends up where I want it; but several words suddenly begin appearing
elsehwere until I realize this. I then have to cut and paste it back to its
correct position. I have a disability affecting my dexterity and suspect I am
accidently using keystroke shortcuts I am not aware of. I have not been able
to ascertain what combination of keys I am hitting. This is not happening in
any other word processing I do, only email. Would appreciate any ideas on
what keys might be causing this aggravating problem. It is a great waste of
my energy and happens a few times during each message.

Is this a laptop? If so, check the mouse driver in Control Panel for
settings controlling 'palm check' and inhibiting cursor movement while typing.

Gary,

I use an Acer Notebook. I will check this out. I also use a program called
Steady Mouse which reduces affects of tremor and reduces strain when moving
the mouse. Did not think of this as a mouse issue, since it doesn't happen in
WP applications.

To be sure, a non-compatible antivirus can cause assorted strange
symptoms, so that would be something to look at if the touchpad
settings don't pan out.
