Mouse position jumps when typing text using multiple programs.

i am having an unsual problem.   I recently reinstalled windows 7 on my M11X laptop and uploaded all drivers and programs I wanted.  Now, when I type anything (on an email, web page, microsoft office, etc.), I noticed the cursor position jumps from the line I am currently at to another random line.  It's very annoying.  Even typing this thread it happend two times.

I have run an antivirus program twice already and no threats have been detected.

has anyone run into this problem before?  If so, any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks,

    My guess would be that you are accidentally touching the TouchPad with your palm while typing with your fingers.

    Try turning on "disable pad while typing" option.
