Cursor is jumping to abnormal positions.

I am utilizing windows XP with SP2 pack and whenever I type in any program
whether in notepad, wordpad or office word, after a few words to around 5-7
words the blinking cursor jump to some abnormal location (often a few words
behind the recently typed words and begins its exection causing an abnormal
jumbling of words). There is an utter chaos to read a paragraph. Moreover
typiThng is very slow correcting the cursor to the normal position (ie) to
the right of the last word. This is becoming very annoying and tends to be a
nuisance. Any suggestion to the correction of this blemish is welcomed and
appreciated.
