    OK, I know this topic has refused to die, but I gotta jump in. My computer was driving me crazy - sometimes typing backwards, sometimes refusing to scroll down, sometimes activating just the upper left icon on my desktop regardless of which one I actually clicked on. Neat trick. These were intermittent problems, and occasionally showed up at the same time. Generally rebooting sorted the issue out, but having to play with it was getting old.

    I finally found that my 'Scroll Lock' key was sticking, although it wasn't apparent. That same key shares functionality with the 'Insert' key, and between the two, they were driving me crazy. Bottom line - clean the 'Scroll Lock' key, and perhaps the 'Insert' key as well.

    Go nuts, clean the whole keyboard. Hope this helps.

    The original poster hasn't logged on in almost 3 years. But yeah, I'm sure it helps him. Sigh.

    Why did you tell everyone? It's always amusing to see how many people post solutions to 3 year old topics.

      What some of you are forgetting or possibly don't know or realize, is that forums are not only to answer the question of the original poster, but are also to be read by anyone else that comes along with the same issue. So being three years old doesn't matter. If you have a solution, you should still share. You could still help someone. 

      If it wasn't to help everyone, you would just send a private message to the original poster now wouldn't you. Forums are to help the masses.  ;D

      Yes, we didn't know that. Thanks for enlightening us.

      Perhaps what you didn't realize is that resurrecting very old threads is considered poor forum etiquette. Just saying.

        Especially. You start a new thread and people don't have to wade through pages of outdated material.

        Also, the original topic starter's last post was 12/05/2008. He likely no longer has the problem and will be the only person that knew what his solution was.

        So we could post solution after solution but whether or not it would be helpful is anyones guess.
