For some reason, my computer will spontaneously begin to "type" on all my
open documents. It is typically one letter that will not stop until I close
the application. It types in Word, Excel, in the Search area at the top of
IE. Pretty much everywhere. I thought it might be a keyboard issues so I
totally swapped out my keyboard and mouse. It still does it and at random
times. When I reboot, it is ok for awhile then shows up again. Anyone ever
heard of this? How do I stop it short of tossing my computer out the window?
Thank you!

You've posted this twice in the last 30 minutes. This is a peer to peer
newsgroup with volunteers from all over. It can take 24-48 hrs for someone
who might have a resolution to see the post and reply. You need to be
patient. If you want immediate help call the tech support for the computer
or some other phone support.

No problem Betty, I was just trying to point out something you might not
have been aware of. When you changed the subject line to a more urgent
one - Sleuth 911, it suggested an increased urgency.

I see you got a resolution to your strange problem, lol, we get this one
posted from time to time so you're not the first and won't be the last.

If you have occasion to post here again, and can't find a previous post the
best way to hunt it down is to use Google Groups Advanced Search:
http://groups.google.com/advanced_se...e=UTF-8&hl=en&

You can search in a specific newsgroup and filter the search by author,
keywords, subject and date.

Last tip, you posted using the web interface. That interface is just plain
lousy. A newsreader is a much better way to access what are actually Usenet
newsgroups, not discussion forums. XP comes with outlook express which can
be set up for newsgroup access. Here is a link on how to set it up. You
will find it a much better way to access newsgroup. Drop in here, read
some of the threads and post if you have an answer to help someone out.
