Turning off a microphone is less risky than messing with the BIOS.

Are you using Windows XP or Vista?

Thank you. That is a new approach. I do not have a microphone. I may have
speech recognition (tied in to a microphone?) which someone mentioned but
if
I do, I did not enable it. If it is enabled, I don't know how to disable
it.

I know nothing about BIOS and hitting DEL while booting to bypass the
touchpad on the laptop. I can visualize smoke pouring out of the machine
if I
tried that. Obviously, I am not tech savvy.
I thought it might have something to do with the speed of the cursor as I
type fast - cursor not being able to keep up?
Anyway, I very much appreciate eveyone attempting to help.

turned on, sounds/noises can be misinterpreted as commands.)

When I am typing a sentence in Word, half way through a sentence, the
cursor
will jump to a different place in the text. If I don't immediately
notice
it, I have to back off the misplaced letters, scroll down to where I
was
and
continue typing. It is driving me nuts. I have Word 2007, and a
laptop
with a wireless mouse and keyboard therefore I am not brushing the
touchpad
with my fingers. Others have written about this and one suggestion was
to
disable the touchpad. I have gone to Control Panel and cannot find any
place
to disable the touchpad. Another thought was to disable the Speech
Recognition which I don't find either. I don't know whether it is
enabled
or
not. I have a Dell Inspiron E 1505 laptop.

Thanks for any help you might offer. Fidelco Foster
