Typed character on other side of cursor.

I am finding that when I am typing lines of text (no matter what the
application) that every so often a character I have typed doesn't appear
where expected but instead seems get on the right hand side of the
cursor and move along as I type.

Here's an exmple of what I mean^a (where ^ represents the cursor ).

Is there a way to stop this? I am a two finger typist and type quite fast.

Try this...

Open Mouse Properties...
Start | Run | Type: control mouse | Click OK |
Pointer Optipons tab | Check Hide pointer while typing |
Click Apply | Click OK

Hide pointer while typing
[[Hides the pointer when you type. The pointer reappears when you move the
mouse or trackball.]]

Hope this helps. Let us know.

I tried this but it didn't help.
