Hi- Just bought an Acer Laptop with Windows Vista....only problem is when typing, the cursor often skips back a few words/sentences without any prompting, so I'll be typing away, and suddenly realize I'm typing further up in my original paragraph, or even up in the subject line.

Typing this sentence took a while as it happens quite frequently. I returned the computer, and got a new one, and low and behold.....same problem. I'm wondering if it's Vista, rather than the Acer Keyboard (part of the laptop). I surf with IE. Not sure if the problem exists in word processing yet...haven't tried.

Any experience with this? Keyboard problem, or Vista issue? Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello,
Are you using Windows Live Messenger?
If I leave live messenger running when I am online the same thing happens to me.
