Every once in awhile; however more often than not. I will be typing and then
it will go to all caps (caps lock is not on). If I turn the caps lock on, it
will type in all lower case. The numbers will not display as numbers, but as
the symbols. I will click on a link and it will open a new tab or window. I
will highlight items and it will start acting very weird.

I know it's not a virus, it's been happening since I have had the laptop.

Anyone have any ideas?


I have XP and have had this problem on my laptop before also. I know this
sounds idiotic but it's worked for me in the past: with all windows minimized
and with my whole hand, I press down all the keys across my keyboard (for
some reason I focus more on the right side). I don't just hold my hand down,
but press down and release over and over, all very quickly. I'll just keep
doing that until it goes away, which has taken anywhere from a few passes
across my keyboard to several passes. Hope this helps and good luck. =]
