Topic: Keyboard Help!

My laptop keyboard has a couple slight problems with it.

First, if I'm typing a long string of letters, the computer may stop for a second, then process my commands.  However, it will repeat the last few letters I typed, multiple times.  For example, if I typed "I eat eggs," it may come out with "e ggs eggs" (the space is generally recognized in the correct place).

Second, once in a while, my keys will completely forget their jobs.  When using a word processor, I will once in a while end up having all keys randomly start counting, typing 012345678901234567890, until I switch pages for a minute.

Third, my keyboard's utterly useless on flash games.  sad


Any suggestions for fixing it?  I've done virus and spyware scans for a while, and never found anything.  This problem has been going on since I bought the laptop (new).

Re: Keyboard Help!

if you hit the numlock key by accident it could explain when it starts typing numbers.

How old is the laptop? the delay when typing is typical of older laptops and laptops that may have too little ram for all that they are doing. If you're using Vista and have under 2GBs of ram i could see it happening. For XP you'd have to be down in the 512MB or lower to really make that happen.

If this has been going on since you bought the laptop: return it.
