Strange Keyboard Activity

[jkeduhsd]

I have a workstation that every now and then will start having keyboard issues. The issue when you hit a key such as "F" then Windows will bring up the "Find" program. I am guessing that the end user maybe accidentally hitting a key combination to cause this to happen however I am unable to duplicate the problem. If anyone could help with this I would greatly appreciate it.


Thanks,

JK

That sounds like a stuck Ctrl key, or something was pressing it while he was typing.

ctrl+F equals the windows Find command. So I'm sure the above is correct. (Get them a wrist rest and see if that helps. So they wont be resting their hand on the kb)

Disable Sticky Keys:

Control Panel, Accessability Options, Keyboard. Uncheck the Sticky Key box.

Is it only on capital "F"? If so make sure it is Shift + "f" and not Ctrl + "f" that is pressed.

Check too as some keyboards have a Function Lock key that can do this if in the locked position.
