As soon as I begin typing the cursor jumps down and to left then begins roaming around the screen. It does this with just the touch pad or even when I have a mouse attached. I have a Dell Inspiron and the BIOS has a setting to disable the touch pad when a mouse is attached but it since installing Vista the touch pad no loner gets disabled. I have been using Vista for three months without any problem but, the last week the problem began slowly and has reached the point that working in Word is very difficult.
Hopefully, MS will come up with fix soon since no one in these groups or other groups on the net seem to have any fix for this specific problem. There are some fixes for other situations causing erratic mouse movement but, none related to typing. I am wondering if it may be related to keyboard drivers?

I am also having this problem, it's like the cursor has a mind of its own. I am pulling my hair out. I can't even type a whole sentence without problems. Is there anything we can do? I am almost at the point of throwing my computer in the yard and running it over.

Double click the Hardware and Devices on the right pane and click on Run the troubleshooter. Now, the troubleshooter will detect the hardware problems automatically. Once the process completes, restart your computer and check if mouse jumping around still persists. If it is, we recommend you fully verify the hardware by connecting the mouse to a different computer. Sometimes an outdated or corrupted device driver can lead to cursor jumps around.
To fix the issue, you can try updating the associated device driver to the latest version. Right-click the Start menu on the left bottom and select Devices Manager from the listed options. Expand the Mice and other pointing devices category, and then the Mouse device you want to update and select Update driver. Click on Search automatically for updated driver software option and follow the on-screen prompts to update the driver. Alternatively, you can download the latest mouse driver from the manufacturer's website and install it on your computer.
