Keyboard Problems

[robbied69]

Hi,

Can someone help. I have a problem which occurs quite regularly where when you type in any type of office program characters constantly appear in capitals, also if you press the back arrow, text gets selected. It appears as if the SHIFT button is constantly being pressed. If you press CAPS LOCK words will appear in lowercase.

Can anyone explain this. The way this has been resolved so far is by rebooting. I was just wondering if anyone knows how to resolve this apart from a reboot.

Thanks in advance.

Does it do that only when typing in Office, or typing any document? Have you tried using a second keyboard, the one you could be using might be damaged or dirty.

Tbh, I'm not sure if it happens with any other program bar office as I haven't tried it.

Keyboard has been replaced, but it still occurs. It only happens to one use perhaps every once every 3 weeks. So all we do is simply reboot and it works. Its more of an annoyance really.

Just to add my .02 worth, its more then likely the Keyboard Controller on the mobo, which in any case cannot just be replaced. new mobo, but since its not a serious issue guess rebooting is the way to go..
