I suspect this could be one of two things.

Either a damaged keyboard F1 key.. or a virus infection.
People would say that it shouldnt happen after formatting. Perhaps you are installing a pre WinXP SP2 copy of Windows and getting infected as soon as you get online?

I have exactly the same thing happening on my laptop. Did you manage to fix yours?

randaril, first help us n yourself by doing just what caperjack suggested in #10 above. BUT START a new thread. Please.

I would just like to see if prettynpink solved the problem. Prettynpink are you still following this thread?

Everyone, I just dealt with this issue.

Likely problem: Your keyboard's F1 key is malfunctioning. F1 is the shortcut to the Help dialogue (at least for Windows Explorer and Google Chrome, which is where I experienced my issues).

If you're on a laptop, search YouTube for a video on how to remove the keyboard from your particular laptop model. Remove the keyboard, and see if the problem persists. While the keyboard is disconnected, you can use the On-Screen Keyboard. If the problem goes away, you've pinpointed the malfunctioning component: your keyboard!

Unfortunately, that will probably mean you need to purchase a new keyboard. But, at least you'll know how to install it on your own after watching the YouTube video!

Disclaimer: follow my advice at your own discretion. I am by no means a tech expert.

Hmmm. After 5 years I would imagine the problem is solved, but thanks for posting anyway
