Windows/Explorer browser help...
Too damn lazy to research (right now), so I'll throw this out here for a quick answer
 Just discovered that I can barely type a post without my curser jumping all over the place (like two words/sentences back), and it's happened 'bout a dozen times in this post alone  . Royal PITA...what setting do I need to change to make it stop? Thanks!!!

Are you using a laptop or a desktop with a normal keyboard?
The touchpad on a laptop can cause the cursor to move around. Try to plug in a regular keyboard and see if the problem goes away.

Had the same problem about half a year ago.
It went away with updates, I guess. |

sounds like a hardware problem.

If you're on a laptop, sounds like your thumbs are hitting the mouse pad as you type, and moving your entry to where the cursor is "resting." I do it all the time, as my thumbs "float" while I type, and occasionally strike down on the pad.
Easiest fix is to disable the mouse pad.

Thanks all! Seems as if the OS must have become corrupted with recent updates. Problem wasn't isolated to IE, and a system restore from a week or so ago failed, so I restored to the "factory image" and all is well now. That's no biggie for me...it's an older HP netbook that I keep "lean & mean" and restore to factory settings on occasion anyways. Yeah, I realize Windoze and IE suck...it's like picking up a #2 pencil though...I don't care as long as it writes...this morning was the first time it wouldn't do that properly
