        Yep. And my next one: Try another browser.

        All right...

        Does this page-flipping happen all the time?
        How long has this been happening for?

          Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox are the most popular but there are other ones like Opera and Maxthon.

          Can you give us an example (a link).

            An example of the page that keeps flipping back.

                could your backspace key be stuck?

                open a word/text document, and see if what you write is automatically being deleted.

                or, you could have some mouse gestures set.

                for example, this is on my machine:
                Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day

                Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime

                  no i can type and it doesnt erase anything . and i have no clue what mouse gestures are. the only time i have any problem on my computer is when im surfing the web.

                    is this a laptop or a desktop?
                    Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day
