Every time I am typing my computer goes crazy. My cursor always ends up in weird places and I am typing over myself all the time... Why does this happen?

Maybe the Mouse Pad thingy is sensitive. Did you try cleaning it? Or may it lost its sensitivity. I never really liked using it. Good luck with that though.Ü

mouse working options sometimes trouble you or its co-ordinates may shuffle on these conditions the cursor will move any where it wont be under your customisations and when the programs on the computer are more and are running more fastly with competetion of one another then the program which is having more memory will run first then the memory with less then the firt one so in those cases also the cursor will share or will move to its own place..so the simultaneous working of two programs with a great speed and high memory may cause the shuffling of cursor to different places on the sheet or ms word..

do you have the "hide mouse when typing feature" on? usually that bugs--in that case you need to have it off

I'll have to look for that. Thanks so much for your help. Would it be under mouse properties?

I think you have a virus if you are not updating your anti-virus, but even you have anti-virus there is still possibilities that will infect your system and part of that is your mouse software. try configuring it if it work then the problem is your configuration. Another one is to update your driver for your mouse or buy a separate mouse..hope it'll help..:)
