    Gotta be frustrating! >:(

    Examine the keyboard very closely - look for anything stuck between/under the keys.
     If you find anything remove it - with tweezers, pin, etc.

    Get a can of compressed air and blow out the keyboard.

    Tilt the laptop and gently "rap" on the side to loosen any debris.

    Blow out the keyboard again.

    Good luck. If this doesn't help, post back.

                    ...when will you have time to do it over?

    How on Earth can you type all that using a mixture of CAPITALS and lower cases???

    It makes the post SO HARD TO READ!

    From what you've said (thanks to LeetKey's Lowercase transformers), the SHIFT key seems to be stuck.

      I am experiencing the EXACT same problem! I've been googling like mad to no avail. I'm really hoping someone can help us out here.

      My caps lock randomly kicks on and off whenever it wants. Links keep opening in a new window. The scroll stops working. When I try to select a single icon or file it will highlight other icons.

      I cleaned my keyboard and turned off my sticky keys.

      I don't know what's happening and I hate it! Please help!

        @qui: Please start a new topic so that you may get help. Post your OS and hardware specs including make and model or motherboard, if custom built.
