Keyboard problem
I am having a problem when typing. Some of the keys cause multiple
characters to appear. Here is the unedited version of what I just typed: I am hvahvinbgf a pyronblem whvenb t5yrpeinbgf. Some ogf t5vhe keyrs cause mult5iple chvayract5eyrs t5o appeayr. This is the second time this has happened. The first time was a couple of months ago. At that time, the problem disappeared as I was in the process of preparing a post to ask if anyone has seen this problem and/or knows how to fix it. (I was hoping that the problem would disappear this time while posting. But, alas, that has not happened.) Is this a sign that my keyboard is going bad? (I don't have another keynboard or I'd swap this one out to see.) The keyboard came with my Compaq Presario 5000 5WV254 that I bought in November 2000. Here is a list of some of the problem keys: b - nb f - gf g - gf h - hv n - nb r - yr t - t5 v - hv y - yr 4 - 74 5 - t5 7 - 74 GFee, it5 suyre was gfunb pyrepayrinbgf t5vhis post5! (Gee, it sure was fun preparing this post!) T%hvanbks, (Thanks,) NBehvanbs (Nevans) |

Almost certainly your keyboard is going bad - when did you spill coffee/beer
on it? Try blowing the dust-bunnies out with the 'wrong end' of a vacuum cleaner, or an airline.. borrow another keyboard for 10 minutes to check. buy another keyboard - they're less than $10/£5 for a basic keyboard -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Nevans" wrote in message ...

Oyr mayrnbe I'll just5 yrunb out5 anbd pick up a nbew keyrnboayrd. NBasic is all I nbeed anbyrwayr, so I gfuess I canb agfgfoyrd &$10. (Translation: Believe it or not... I've never spilled anything on it!! Thanks for the suggestions. I'll get the vacuum out tomorrow - I've got to clean the house anyway. Or maybe I'll just run out and pick up a new keyboard. Basic is all I need anyway, so I guess I can afford $10.) Just found new key combinations: $ and & both become &$. (This is getting old fast!)

My back hurt so much from moving snow yesterday that I couldn't sleep, so I
got up to avoid waking my better part so early. Had I awakened her, I would be hurting in many more places ... -- Jack E.

I already feel much better.
Txs to you and Nevans for noticing. On Cape Cod, this was a "hundred year storm". -- Jack E.
