Hi, Paul,
There could be many reasons.
One is already mentioned that something like a virus checker is jumping in
and taking focus.
Another is a more common one. This is where there is dirt in the keyboard,
the external mouse or, more common again, on the built-in mouse pad in a laptop.
Another one that was told to me was that the mouse or keyboard may need a
firmware update to interact properly with a more modern Operating System than
it was envisaged to work with.
I know these answers are vague, but it's the best we can do from this
distance.
Take Care,
Gerry Ellis

hi folks
i have a word document open and start typing . perhaps i have 8 or so
sentences typed and am about to type some more when suddenly i find i may be
at the beginning or halfway through the text i have just typed rather than at
the end of the sentence i have just entered.
it throws the entered text in a complete scramble and i end up having to go
through the whole document and cut and paste and rearrange every few minutes.
it also happens when i am composing e mail too, one moment i am writing the
e mail and next the system just goes to the main outlook express page. with
this latter problem i can press alt and tab and get back to where i was
composing the e mail.
any ideas?
many thanks
Paul h
