I upgraded my machine from XP to Vista. Now, every few minutes when I'm typing text, the cursor ends up in some unexpected spot earlier in the paragraph. I assume that this is due to some keystroke command, but I don't have a keystroke logger so I can't figure out what it is.

(BTW, this happens in any application--Yahoo mail, Word, etc., which is why I think Vista is the issue.)

Does anyone have any idea of what's going on?

I have a similar problem with yahoo mail, I assumed it was because I edited my Host file to block some ads that were annoying me. A simple ctrl+z fixes the issue for me when it arises.

Keyboards and keyboard drivers are usually straight forward and require little adjustment. 1. Check and make sure all keys are clean and not sticking together. 2. Right click 'Computer' and select 'Properties'. Select 'Device Manager', right click your Keyboard and choose update driver. 3. You can also go to 'Control Panel', double click the Keyboard icon and try different settings.
