Whenever I press certain keys, windows come up.
« on: November 17, 2006, 11:53:24 AM »
The problem is when I press on certain keys random windows come up. Its all the windows "hotkeys", for example If I press just R, Run will come up. F, the search etc etc. Part of the problem may have been that I was fooling with a Hotkey creator but im not eniterly sure. At the moment I have the computer running a virus scan, and i'll reboot it after to see if that brings it back to normal.

The comp is the one in my specs.

PS: my control key isnt stuck down because turned on the onscreen keyboard and the same thing happens.

PPS: Im not going to restart my computer, in fear of the problem still occuring and I couldnt type my password in.

I thought I'd let everyone know, that the culprit behind my computer acting strange was a windows media player. A Microsoft one  ;D
