Hi John
My guess is that there's a problem with languages. Follow the instructions
on the following page to make sure that everything is set to the language of
your choice:

Interesting matter. Friend suddenly started to get problems with certain
keystrokes....
Using Word its mainly the vowels i,u,a and o that omit to type
when he's doing text, but, surprisingly when using Outlook Express this
does
not pose a prob and all keyboard strokes are ok.
I expect he could do with a good keyboard clean...but in the meanwhile
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
John
