Hello, i'm having a problem which is when i type the all of the sudden the cursor goes to the middle of the sentence as i'm typing and messes up everything and sometimes instead of messing up a sentence it just clicks on something, like i'm typing and i see the the cursor clicked on the block or something like that, i dunno why this is happening, help me please, thank you.

Are you using a laptop?

Yes, why?

well, it tends to happen to me sometimes, because of the touchpad. When you type, your thumbs may be above the mouse area of yoru laptop and if you go to near, the laptop may register it as a click and move your cursor in some random places. In general, good touchpad drivers have an option to disable the pad for a small delay when a key was pressed, to avoid that problem (never understood why it was not activated by default though).

I'm using sony vaio, is it possible to disable it with my laptop? and if so how?

If your laptop has a Synaptics touchpad then take a look at the driver settings for PalmCheck:
