Just one more question. how does uninstalling and reinstalling  "mice" have an effect on the keyboard?

Hi diver999,

It appears to be an issue with touchpad sensitivity. While typing, the palm might touch the touchpad that might be causing the cursor jumping issue. 

Please reply for further clarifications.

I have the exact same problem as the last person - I can't type anything without the curser jumping around while I type - I have to type everything over and over again. I printed out the instructions above but I don't have a "start" button to click on - where do I find start?? I had one on my old dell but not this dell. Its so annoying - I just bought this computer and they told me to go onto support dell.com and search for the dell touch pad driver to download but had no luck finding it either - its so frustrating -
