    Bad keyboard oddities
    « on: March 15, 2008, 01:10:18 PM »
    I had a keyboard go out and before I changed it some nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn showed up on my switch user screen after the Turn Off button.  The performance of my computer does not seem to be affected but I would like to get rid of them. It sounds like a regedit job but I am not sure where to go and remove them. Thanks for your help

      Sorry for being cryptic... here is a screen shot

      of the n's behind the Turn Off button. It is just repeating nnnnn after the button. I guess the n key got stuck when the key board went out.

        In don't use Sys Restore because it bogged down my system too much. I keep it turned off. I never could get it to restore when I needed it anyway. It is weird and I suspect that it is something that happened during a keyboard wire cross when the wire to my keyboard had a hole worn in it under my desk. Who knows what could have happened but I thought some of you comp gurus knew how to delete them.

        Have you inspected the area where a hole was worn in the keyboard wire's insulation?
