    Is your computer a laptop? Could be a hardware problem, as this isn't uncommon on some laptops.

    If the touchpad is not turned off, the cursor will jump because your wrist will touch ot as you type. I had a friend with this problem; she had to keep turning the touchpad off in the BIOS. You may have a Function key that will disablew the touchpad.

    Yes, Plodr is right. The touchpad is generally the cause of this problem, especially with Vaios. Using a mouse instead is the answer, but if you prefer to use the touchpad, going into the configuration and saving the settings again may cure it.
