I am running a HP Pavilion Notebook with WinXP/SP2...Outlook Express as my mailing source...

Really strange...All of a sudden when ever I try typing in any program after I hit about 2-3 letters my computer the computer defaults to MY Computer...I have tried running all my spyware programs and reg fixes..have rebooted but it still does it...driving me crazy...

Any Ideas...( I am on a second computer)

Thanks for any help,

Hefs

Could be a keyboard error...first try the keyboard you used to type the above on the faulty machine.

On the effected notebook computer I have a full size keyboard connected but it doen not make any difference which keyboard I use it still does the same thing..so it is not a keyboard problem...

Thanks,

Just curious-- have you customized folder-display settings on this computer at all? If so... I would try opening folder options/restore defaults & see what happens. I know it sounds "too simple" but...

Thanks...even though I have not changed anything I tried the default idea and did not work...

Hi hefs, this is going to sound really...wierd...but it is worth a try.

Unplug the extra keyboard from the laptop, and while the laptop is on...open Notepad, and then mash all the keys together From what you've described, it sounds like a couple of the buttons might be jammed...

If you find that you can type normally with the keyboard unplugged, plug it back in and mash those keys

I've seen this a few times, and a mash of the keys normally works fine. But it could be something more sinister as well (but what - i don't know).

BINGO!!!! You are a genius...not in a million years would I have thought of that...I keep the computer clean so there would not have been a reason for me to think of that..

Thank You...
