Using an external mouse would make no difference with the typing problem she describes.

I frequently found that I was typing in an earlier sentence, which drove me mad). I agree with Julianne's comment submitted Oct. 6, 20011 at 8:40AM. (P.S. a wireless mouse solved my problem) My HP laptop (also 1 yr. old) did all of those things until I found that my hand (or it seems, even the proximity of my hand at times) was causing the mouse to move around WITHOUT MY KNOWING IT.

I would suggest that among the other good suggestions above, she try disabling the touchpad temporarily- if that does help, then turn down the touch sensitivity on it. One more thing to check!
