I have a similar problem on my 8000 (win ME) with the double spaces, but it also includes some double letters, or letters that randomly fail to respond. also my left control and right shift are a little questionable in their reliability. If I consult #4 of the FAQs, do I need to try to do as many as possible (ie, find the reset button AND reset the BIOS)? This problem pretty much suddenly appeared, it was never an issue much before. What detailed instructions can I get in checking to see if this is a driver problem or a keyboard problem?siriusbowman

Had the same problem--seems to be common! In my case, it turned out to be contaminated contacts. I fixed this on my i8000 by pulling off the keys (CAREFULLY), and cleaning all the hair and crud that had accumulated under most of the keys. Works great now.
