Cursor skips to previous lines

[KimM]

In Word, Hotmail, etc., my cursor skips backward to previous lines, or skips to the left in the same line. It does this in the middle of words, as I am typing. It even did it as I was typing this message. Very annoying.



I found a previous thread that suggested there may be a compatibility issue between my wheel mouse and my touchpad, and it suggested turning off the touchpad on my laptop. But I can't figure out how to turn off the touchpad in Windows 7--there doesn't appear to be an option for doing this in Control Panel Device Manager.

Go to the web site of your mouse to see if there is a updated driver for your mouse (or any other object not working properly in Windows 7)

Also, check out the compatablity of whatever: select the object > Right Click > Properties > Compatablity > Select probability Vista or XP or what you were formerly
