hiccuping e-mails

I am having major problems with my Acer netbook. My cursor keeps jumping all over the place. It will insert what I am typing in words I already typed, or it will jump ahead and put the words/letters further down. It will send e-mails before I am ready. I think this is the third time I have tried to start this e-mail.
I attend adult classes. The computer instructor recognized what I was talking
about, but only knew how to fix it in a document - not in e-mail. He is the one who gave me this site to go to.

Anther problem is that the cursor keeps opening up more copies of the same e-mail.

Please help. This is driving me crazy.....

Thanks for all help.

I have an Acer Aspire One. The O in One has what looks like to be either the number 1, or an xclamation point.

I am pretty sure that i am not grazing the touchpad. Just to make sure, I am very carefully typing this like you would play piano, and it is occuring while I am doing this e-mail. never had this problem with a regular computer.


I will have to go get the keyboard from my regular computer and try that, and report back.

Thanks so much for help.
