Help launching uncontrollably ...
I'm trying to fix a problem on my wife's computer. It's running XP Home SP2. Help is being launched from numerous applications (Outlook, IE, Quicken, etc) without F1 or help ever being clicked AND its launching over and over again. It's as if an invisible person is sitting there hitting the F1 key. We run AVG antivirus and it's up to date and running. Not sure if this is a virus or something whacked in Windows or a laptop keyboard or other hardware problem. The computer is a Dell 5100 Inspiron laptop. This is a tough problem to search for as searching for 'help', the browsers return results as if you were requesting help. --------------------------------------- There is one other problem that is probably not related - but I don't know. There is a problem typing a capital c ("C"). Holding the left Shift key and typing a 'c' results in no typing. The left Shift key works properly and capitalizes all other letters. Holding the right Shift key and typing a 'c' works. Bizarre. Any help appreciated. Brooks
