jill Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 Hi Dusty, You will be happy to know you are not crazy, nor are you the only one. I'm having the same problem. Strangely, I am typing this without a problem and it was happening all day... I am on a brand new Acer quad-core machine. I have tried the Acer keyboard it came with an a dell, one was USB and the other PS2. I haven't used the machine much, I assumed it was a Windows Vista problem, but now I'm thinking it might be IE since all I've done on this machine so far is use the web. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem in notepad.I'm using IE 7.0.6000.16473Ciper Strength: 256-bithelp,jill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are all very security conscious, and have seen many people on here with tales of woe from picking up Spyware and Malware. These programs in themselves will not cause keyboards to mess up. Most of us on here use several such programs, we all have our own favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hi Dusty have you tried system restore,Would you be prepared to try a different browser to eliminate an IE problem ( andsome ! shhh button it !! )To eliminate a hardware problem could you try a Linux Live CD see if the problem remains ?

I think you are trying to get me stuck between you and andsome, I know as much about Linux as I ough I knew about indows. Where would I get a Linux CD?From Linus? Like the old rock song says, ".....if we couldn't laugh we would all go insane..." datng myself, I thnk that was Frank Zappa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark2 Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 for a live linux Cd try Puppy Linux from one of the links on http://puppylinux.org/wikka/DownloadPuppy217 and should eliminate a hardware problem.If you prefer to stick to windows and do not mind a bit of work beforehand, try UBCD4win from http://www.ubcd4win.com/Andsome is a an IE diehard, but it works for him, but if the fault is there in another browser then it's not browser specific thus eliminating IE as the problem.Opera or Firefox are possible alternates, or even Kmeleon from http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net/download.php (not tried it yet but it'son my todo list )System restore will eliminate it if it's a software or driver issue, can you go back a little way to check ?My avatar is a sweetie, until you upset her, I have the scars to prove it :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark2 Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 There's no need to set FF as your default browser.Simply use it a few times to see if the missing keys problem is still there, if not we'll have to check through all your options for IE7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 You get me wrong Mark. I have nothing whatsoever against other browsers. If people wish to use them then it is of course their personal choice. The thing that does annoy me, is when people have a problem and the FIRST solution offered is to DUMP IE. This is no use at all as far as I can see, and it is better to try and solve the problem first, then try a different browser afterwards. That way we then know that the computer is already running as it should do. On this occasion, Dusty has tried all ways to solve his problem, and I hope that he does so eventually, with or without another browser or operating system. For my own part, as long as IE runs OK for me I see no point in an alternative, having tried Firefox and found that I did not get on with it. I also had Netscape on my first computer. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there anyone here that can interpret a Hijackthis Log? It seems that I must have a conflict with something on this pc and IE7.I would rather have IE7. I have run bitdefender, my own security suite and have had nothing reported as amiss. thanks for hanging in there with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 Well I have just read through this lot and it amazes me. In my own little amateur way I would run crap cleaner, get rid of what it finds and then run its registry problem scan. But then anything beyond W98SE is uncharted territory to me.

dusty Posted September 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi folks,Apparently there was some problem with IE7, regardless of how many times I un/installed it.

ecp007 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 HI, I know this is an old post, but I just had the same exact problem, and I was able to fix it by deleting Skype. My son had installed Skype on the family computer without permission. I went to UNINSTALL programs, and deleted the Skype application and the problem went away immediately. I didn't even have to reboot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
