Dell 1525, win 7, Microsoft wireless mouse. (and built in mouse pad)

When I'm typing,suddenly and unwantingly the cursor placement goes somewhere else. (Like now! It just went back to after the 'e' on suddenly). I cannot type a complete sentence without the cursor going somewhere else.

Is this a hardware problem or a Microsoft problem?

Help!!

If you disable the built in track pad does the problem persist? I'm banking on this being a hardware issue.

How do you disable it? I tried Fn/F10. Didn't work. (Just did it again)
I'm not the only one. I have about 4 friends with the same problem
