Default Missing the letter x

The most likely explanation - by far - is a faulty keyboard.

Although it is not impossible to have some software installed that would
completely hijack a particular key it is very unlikely, and, if you haven't
installed anything, the only explanation is a virus, or malware of some
sort, which System Restore might, if you were lucky, put right.

Running XP SP2 and Word 2003, Outlook Express 6. A few weeks ago when
typing in Word and OE the letter "x" would not show. Obviously it is okay
now because I can type "x" but the problem just came back. I fixed it then
and again now by using System Restore but I would like to find out what
causes this. As far as I know I didn't do anything unusual to make this
happen. Didn't install anything. Just did some surfing and emailing and
all was well before I discovered this behavior. Any ideas? Thanks.
