cursor behaving on its own

[Tony]

I did not see a reply to this problem. I am having a
similar probem when I type in Word, mail programs, MS
OneNote. The cursor jumps to a different line while I am
typing. On a similar posting it was suggested to update
the video driver, which I did. My computer is less than
5 months old and it started about a month ago.
Not sure what else to do.

i would be looking for a hardware issue. hair trigger key, mouse, etc.

if you are typing on a laptop with a touchpad you may be doing it by
getting too close to the pad - without actually touching it.
