I was in the midst of typing a note in OE, when all of a sudden, the
keyboard started malfunctioning-- giving incorrect responses for various
keystrokes. I first noticed it on "." and ">" , one for the other, and
sometimes giving non-keyboard symbols, but other strokes gave other
responses. The entire top row was the capital (symbol) function as well.
After closing OE, I tried MS Word, and it worked fine. I then noticed all
the desktop short cuts were highlighted, and when trying to reboot, I
wouldn't respond to the mouse- I had to use the keyboard for that.
After rebooting, it seems to work fine. This happened several months ago, as
well.
Any thoughts, or is it just a fleeting malfunction? (I have anti-virus, and
run Ad-aware, & Spy Bot regularly)
