| letter "s" acts as if ctrl+alt were also pushed Several times in the last two months my Vista Business 64-bit system has gotten into a weird state in which typing the letter "s" on the keyboard would launch the (factory loaded) "HP support information" window instead of giving me a letter "s" in whatever I was typing. By the way, the "HP support information" application is installed with Ctrl + Alt + "s" as the shortcut key (because you never know when you will immediately need to know the serial number?). I figured that perhaps the keyboard is flaky, but this stops happening immediately if I change to another account on the system. All the other keyboard keys, including letters, work normally. I have undefined the "HP support information" shortcut key, and for now the problem has disappeared, so perhaps it is fixed. Or perhaps it will return! Bob (I am actually interested in hearing how this might have happened. Yes, the system has had three different malware scans every day, including right after this last occurred. Nothing is found.) |
