Running Vista Home Prem. I have had my keyboard replaced 3 times and each time vit does the same exact thing. I type a sentance and it starts inserting the words in the middle of the completed words. I have to go back and remove the wrong letters and then back to where they should be and retype them. This happens during E-Mails, Word pad, on sites Everywhere I type. There seems To be no solution to this problem. Can you Help Solve this problem. Dell has tried and I have tried 3 new keyboards. I have to watch my screen constantly and constantly correct this or I would look like a blooming idiot. Dell would not admit it is the PC causing it and 3 replacement Keyboards have done the exact same thing. That says it is not the Keyboard. I even tried formatting and reloading and the same problem still exists.HELP!!! I have a dell laptop. Running Vista Home Prem.

Did you try and hold the shift key and at the same time press num lock on the keyboard? This will normally set the keys back to alpha. Hi.

I used notepad, wordpad, ms word,openoffice, etc. I got this laptop, may 2008. It was working well until about September last year. Then the keyboard started getting weird. When I type, the letters jump back to the beginning of a sentence or upwards to another notepad window that is open at the same time. or when I'm typing, other apps like the acer movie arcade opens or the start menu opens. I was thinking this could bea trojan or backdoor. I don't know what to do with this. can anybody help? This problem sometimes occurs out of the blue then stops fro a while but when I'm typing, the letters jumble around on the screen. Appreciate any help por suggestions. thanks.

After editing the registry to repair my dvd burner my keyboard and touchpad have stopped working. I tried using a usb mouse but that will not work either. However the keyboard does work when in the BIOS and OS selection screens. Once windows is started in safe mode everything stops working. I also have taken out my battery in the hopes that it would help after seeing it offered as a solution for a couple other laptops. No luck though. One other weird thing, I have noticed when hitting caps lock the green light is barely visible. They are dimmed. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

I have a Toshiba laptop Sattelite L305D. The keyboard seemed to be locked since NONE OF THE KEYS ARE RESPONDING but when I press CAPS lock on the onscreen keyboard my light on the laptop keyboard would turn on. Also the numlock light below the F11 key is turned on all the time which leads me to believe my keyboard works...so my solution: --i was removing my laptop keyboard (with the laptop still on)but before I could remove the ribbon from the mother board I noticed the numlock light below the F11 key turned off. So I decided to press a few keys and VOILA! keyboard works perfectly fine. so my problem: -- I tried replacing the keyboard back but everytime it's back in place multiples of zzzzzzzzzzzzzz starts geting typed along with random forward and backslashes OR the numlock light comes on again,its one or the other...and keyboard becomes unresponsive. Is it possibly a grounding problem? I noticed these aluminum pieces on the corners but I don't know where exactly the ground is for the laptop or if it even has one. FEW THINGS I TRIED ALREADY: -system restored to a point where keyboard was working fine. -added foil to the aluminum pieces (that only made the problem worse...made the keyboard unresponsive before i could even place it back all the way) THANKS in advanve for your help!!
