1st off I have a Gateway md2614u laptop, os Windows 7 home 32bit. Sometimes when I am typing (I could be in the mail reader, note pad, word pad, or anywere else that I type more then a few words) without any warning the cursor will jump to a different line and my typing will continue on that the new place if I don't catch it. Like in an email prog the cursor has jumped down to the end of the auto signature (when I start a new email in the email reader will auto place a pre-made signature on the blank page) and the typing will go on from there. Also sometimes the cursor will jump completely out of the Windows box or the prog I am in and back to the desktop. So far it has been no more than a minor annoyance. I would like to know why it does that though.

Not sure to be honest, possibly. Have you tried unchecking Hide pointer while typing? As you didnt say?
