word or Outlook types by itself

Aloha,
Lately, while I'm typing an e-mail, or a Word document, the computer
starts typing by itself- a mixed combination of letters, numbers and
punctuation. While it's doing this, I can imput from the keyboard, but
the computer interspers it's own characters while I'm doing this,
rendering the computer useless. There are no error messages; just the
random typing. I'm using Office XP on a Dell C400 with XP pro installed.
Any help will certainly be appreciated.
Thanks,
Clint

Yes. However, I went into the Control Panels, turned off a bunch of stuff
that had to do with the microphone, and it seems to be behaving itself
now.
Thanks for the help,
Clint
