M mufc77 Registered User Messages 75 13 Feb 2009 #1 is jumping all over the place when i am typing. it jumps back to the previous sentence frequently and drives me ****ng mental. there was a programme called stop freeze or something, that keeps the cursor in place when typing, but wouldnt work for vista. sometimes the page scrolls suddenly to the bottom aswell.
