Keyboard suddenly started giving double letters.

My Microsoft "Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000" has suddenly started giving double letters (liike sited).  Running the mskey utility shows that there are two 'makes' then a 'break '.  Increase the repeat delay (since the time the shortest time) solves the problem, but stocks as a return back annoyingly slow.  I used this keyboard for almost a year, and other keyboards before that for many years, the shortest delay repeatedly with absolutely no problem.  My typing has not slowed between yesterday and today.  In addition, I noticed watching carefully that the second letter often appears after a noticeable delay, certainly once I took out the key.  I shook the keyboard upside down and blown air according to the instructions provided by Microsoft, does not.  I've not spilled something on the keyboard, and the double letter occurs randomly for all characters, so I don't think it's a dirty key selector.  Someone has ideas which could have caused the problem and what can be done to remedy this?  Thank you.

  • Satellite C660 - 2 EV suddenly started giving me the BSOD

    Last week my laptop 2 years suddenly started giving me the BSOD. It doesn't seem to be anything that triggers it. Do not know what information I provide, but I tried a restore of the system to an earlier date, but that did not fix.

    I managed to make a backup of data, and I have no recovery disks. I also bought an extended warranty last year.

    I should arrange to have it repaired or is there something else I can try first?

    Thank you.

    > I provide but I tried a restore of the system to an earlier date, but that did not fix.

    I put t think it's the best choice. I would recommend you to retrieve the computer laptop back to the factory settings, either using the Toshiba HDD recovery or the Toshiba recovery disc.

    If BSOD would appear after the system recovery, I recommend you to check exactly the content of BSOD.
    Sometimes non-compatible drivers could cause the BSOD.

    But of course, also the hardware problems (memory problems) could be the reason for BSOD.
    In this case, you must contact the Toshiba ASP to verify the material.

  • Why do you have my laptop suddenly started giving me a message that my anti virus protection, firewall and antispyware is disabled?

  • my keyboard suddenly begin to type a character over and over again and I can't stop it. Comes to post notes or elsewhere

    My keyboard suddenly started typing a character again and again and I couldn't stop. Arrived at post notes or anywhere where I tried to type. At the same time my wireless mouse began to be nervous and some characters appeared on my typing ("n" with 2 different symbols above it.) I rebooted, but not better - then changed my wireless keyboard - mouse always nervous. But my wireless keyboard does not produce the 'a' and 's' (the reason I went back to wired keyboard) so I reconnected the keyboard and the problem disappeared. Is there any other fix if this happens again?

    Change the batteries, and then maybe try to carefully clean the keyboard and especially around the defective key, or - if the switch or circuit is damaged, or if there was liquid damage, and it's not just a crud stuck in keyswitches - replace the keyboard.

    Pls help...

    The same problem occurs if you want to use the external USB keyboard?

    If external USB keyboard works properly, the problem of double letters is related to the breakdown of internal keyboard.
    Then there is only one solution: keyboard replacement.

    All of a sudden, I started getting double e-mails. I am running Vista and using windows mail. Does anyone have a solution?

    Usually, it is because the two copies of the account are set up.  Go to tools | Accounts | Mail and see if there is more than one copy of the account.  If not, then try to compact and repair the database (www.oehelp.com/WMUTil/) and analysis of e-mail what to do is not enable in your anti-virus software (see www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3).  If this does not resolve things, try to delete your account, close and reopen WinMail and then add the account back again.

My dominant right hand-controlled keys are most often affected, while those who are controlled by my pinkie fingers NEVER touched.

I asked several times for Dell to let me know the extent of this problem and have a reminder of this model (which, as far as I know, is ubiquitous with this particular mmodel).

  • After the upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.5 shift, Alt and command of my keyboard keys started to act arbitrarily, they are suspended and are not working properly.

    After the upgrade to El Capitan 10.11.5 shift, Alt and command of my keyboard keys started to act arbitrarily, they are suspended and do not work properly (I already tried several keyboards and is not Firefox or Chrome). This behavior is exacerbated in Illustrator CC, but also affect all programs and even my office. It drives me crazy, does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

    Mi IMac is a 27-inch, late 2013, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, and use a Wacom Intuos Pro.

    Could possibly be interfering with the entry Wacom drivers.

    Start safe mode and see if there are still have the problem there. Safe mode is slow and some things do not work, but it prevents some third-party boot loading software. If your keyboard works properly in Mode without fail, this would imply that some third-party software is causing the problem. If so, check the updates.

    It also takes more time to start because the BONE is clean some system caches that can also help.

  • Portege A100 has suddenly started to freeze

    My Portege A100 has suddenly started to freeze without valid reason.

    It has also hurt to turn sometimes blue light appears on the disc hard turns, but not much happening and the screen remains empty.
    Sometimes he'll get into windows and I want to use it then suddenly stop responding completely.
    It does this in SafeMode as well ad from a cold start.

    The strange thing is that it seems to be triggered physically sometimes but I couldn't swear to it and maybe it's just a coincidence.

    any ideas?

    Hello

    Description seems you very strange because the question what you described happens sometimes. Eventually it s only a software malfunction?
    How the operating system is running on the laptop?

    What do you think of the resettlement using the recovery CD?
    This relocation and new OS can sometimes solve problems of frizzing.

    But if the portable feed then you should try another suggestion.
    You must remove the power supply and adapter of the laptop. Then wait several times (10-15 min). Put the power supply in the laptop and connect the power adapter.

    Then, launch Notepad.

  • My MacBook suddenly started working slow

    Hello! I got my MacBook Pro since 2012 and it suddenly started running slow. I rebooted several times. Also, I deleted some files, but it does not work perfectly. I noticed that when I start watching the video in my MacBook, it will stop so many times. In addition, when I search in Safari and do whatever it is, the system is slow and the MacBook is going to be so warm. Yesterday I used the application disk utility and test diagnostic equipment, but these processes did not affect the system of my MacBook. I'm trying anything possible to fix this myself before I take it to the repair shop and spend money on something that I could have probably staring at me.

  • Satellite L505-10Z started giving a blue screen

    Hello

    After nearly a year of wonderful performance of my laptop started giving me a blue screen saying a software failure, in any case, I decided to clean install it.

    Apparently, the recovery disk supplied with the system was a 32 bit disc, so now that I spent and bought a 64 bit W7 Home permium.

    I need some advice on the path of the installation.

    -is it possible that I have first to clean install with CD 32-bit and then improve it later with the 64 bit
    or
    -as I have downloaded all the drivers from the website, can I start the installation immediately with the 64-bit W7 Home Premium?

    Help, please

    According to specification for laptop, that your laptop is shipped with WIN7 64 BITS Home PREMIUM & 32 BIT DVD so I put t understand why you didn't create DVD recovery for the 64-bit version, as described in the user s manuals document you have with your laptop.

    Now, you have spent money for disk even if you got 64 bit with your laptop (recovery image).

    Anyway, you cannot install 32 bit and upgrade to the 64-bit version. You must bring the new installation of the OS. Use your new drive and install Win7 64-bit.
