Hi Group,

Several months (9/13) ago I posted the following question. I received a
reply instructing me to turn off text services. I replied that this seemed to
fix the problem, however, shortly afterward the keyboard resumed it's antics.
Can anyone offer any further suggestions?
Following is my original post:-----------------------

I have a Gateway Solo 9300 laptop on WinXP, lots of memory. When typing, the
cursor seems to be jumping around randomly, causing me to be typing
gibberish. Occasionally it will even switch to another open window, as if
hitting the alt-tab keys. I have seen this happen on other laptops I've had.
Can anyone tell me what might be causing this and what to do to remedy the
situation? It makes typing a huge chore and is driving me crazy!

TIA,
Barb
