    Hello pattypluck,




    Lets give this a try: Click the Start button> click Control Panel> click Hardware> and then click Mouse. Click the Pointer Options tab, and then do the following: Uncheck the Hide pointer while typing box. Hope this helps you. Let us know either way. Make it a great day!

    Hi,

    Are you using a laptop with a touchpad? This happens when the pads of the user's thumbs accidentally drag on the touchpad. Some find that disabling it and using a separate mouse helps.

    Hi there The C.

    Sorry I took so long to reply back, but we had to take off down to Brampton and got back this past Thursday.   The instructions you gave me were the best and fixed my problem. I have not had it happen since following what you wrote me, Thanks so much for helping me out I really appreciate it
