Weird cursor problem, has a mind of its own. PLEASE HELP!!!

I hope user Scouse sees this:

Ever since my hard drive was cleaned and restored to factory condition, I have had this problem, and trust me it's hard to explain.

Let's say I was just typing along a full paragraph like I am right now. I am just typing and typing, expressing thoughts on and on etc. etc. Then out of nowhere the cursor will back itself up to another place on the page, even as far back as the first sentence. Then whatever words I am typing next starts showing up in wherever the cursor jumps to. For instance the sentence I am typing now could be the next sentence. Next I am copying and pasting what I have typed so far to include the type of error I am getting.

OK look at the above paragraph again, this would be an example of the cursor going backwards to just after the word just and it usually takes me a full sentence before I see it's happened. Also some times I will be typing along and have 2 or 3 paragraphs typed and out of nowhere the cursor will go backwards to somewhere and highlight the whole text and if I don't notice that happened POOF everything I typed after that disappears, this is getting UNBELIEVABLY ANNOYING, any problem solvers that know how to fix this PLEASE HELP!!!
