Whenever I type long sentences..the cursor randomly jumps back a few lines.....I'm not accidentally hitting the enter bar or the touchpad.

Anybody see any fixes for this ? Maybe it'a a feature of VISTA ?
Touch Freeze. Google and download it. It will solve your problems. It took us a couple weeks to figure it out, but since then occurrences of the jumping cursor have been limited to about once ever 3 months. Turns out that even the vibration from typing can affect certain touchpads - like yours.
