I have that problem on my laptop frequently. My solution was to use an external keyboard. I think it’s related to the touchpad and had considered turning it off, but the external keyboard works so well I quit worrying about it. I had the same problem on a Vaio laptop, only worse.

But I'm having big problems with a cursor that jumps all over the place every few characters, in both WordPefect and in Firefox when editing web forms. I can buy a few hours of sanity by removing and replacing the keyboard software driver, but it keeps coming back so I'm suspecting corruption elsewhere that impacts the driver. Any thoughts? The system is an HP Pavilion dv8309us, running XP Pro rather than the Win Media Center it originally came with. XP is fully patched. I ran several diagnostics, malware detectors, cleaned out the registry, etc. Appreciate any wisdom, Marbux
