Problems with my toshiba laptop

Hi I am looking for some help to solve the problems I am having with my Toshiba laptop.
The hardrive has recently been replaced due to a virus, but since then when I am typing something the cursor moves and suddenly my typing gets mixed with a sentence I have already created. This can be in word, hotmail or any other package. The cursor can sometimes move back to where it was. This is making simple tasks ages to do as I am constantly having to correct my work, by cuttung and pasting.
Also when using hotmail to send my emails the function to spellcheck has disappeared, I press the spellcheck button it talks about browsers and adding dictionaries but I do not know how to do this. My spelling is not the best so to have the spellcheck function back would be a godsend.
Please help:A

ok this could be a driver's issue, have you run the windows update to make sure you have got all the latest drivers windows recommends?
you could also try the toshiba website as they are likely to have a drivers package for your laptop which could be better than the ones through windowsDrop a brand challenge
on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)0 -

Make sure your thumb isn't accidentally touching the trackpad. Try reducing the sensitivity of it as well.0 -

I have an Advent laptop and mine has done the exact same thing ever since I got it and neither myself or anybody I know can figure out why!
It really is annoying so I will be subscribing to this thread to see if a solution is found! :jThe more one gets to know of men, the more one values dogs.0
