Keys inadvertently repeat
For some reason unknown to me, keys will suddenly repeat about 10-15 times
when I am typing in either Word or Mail. I'm not holding down the key, and there appears to be no pattern to it. I've used two different keyboards (both Microsoft keyboards) and it still happen; so I know it's not a problem with my keyboard. I'm currently using the Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000. I've re-installed the driver, but that hasn't solved the problem. Any help out there? -- Vern Northern Wisconsin |

Keys inadvertently repeat
Did you ever spill something on the keyboard?
Check the Control Panel for things like repeat rate -- maybe it's set very low so that touching the key for more than a moment causes it to keep firing.

Keys inadvertently repeat
Hello Grammatim:
No, I have never spilled anything on my keyboard; I'm hyper-careful about that. Since the repeat problem occurred with two different keyboards, I feel fairly confident it's not a problem with the keyboard hardware. I have taken your suggestion and changed the sensitivity of the repeat feature, as well as slowing down the repeat rate. I'll see if that solves the problem. Thanks for your ideas. -- Vern Northern Wisconsin "grammatim" wrote: Did you ever spill something on the keyboard?
